everywhere we went we aaw vast field of cabbage potatoea and tn tone taction sugar betta and some of these fletds looked much larger than fields of similar product which are ordinarily seen tn canada we had a splendid opportunity to really study an english farm when we visited one day the canon court ffcrm in berkshire thu farm own- ad by mr llenry j purser u prob ably the best farm in that ctlon or england a it has won the kind oeorge v prize for efficiency and the king edward vitj cup for the beat cultivated farm in berkshire this is aald to be the only cup of such a na ture vrer given by king edward vtji this farm is 500 acres in area and four tractors are used on it this year it produced among other things 9300 bushels of oats and the part planted tn wheat produced m bushels to the acre mr purser was milking 41 cows when we were there it was interesting to learn that this farm was redeemed from tithes only five years ago up until that time tithes had been paid annually to ox ford university the farm buildings are extensive well laid out and built of brick and even the partitions ot the pens were built of brick the barns were much more substantial than the usual ones in canada and when one of the can adian editors asked how old these bams were he was informed that m are comparatively modern hav ing been built only one hundred and forty years ago another of the editors remarked that it would be difficult to find a barn in canada that was over one hundred years old whereupon he was asked if the people of canada did not know how to take care of their build tngs mr purser showed some extra fine cabbages and marrows which he had brought back from covent garden mar ket the previous day because he was able to sell them apparently just at that season there was more produce than could be sold although furmere in enitland arc en couraged to raiic pu they are al lowed to retain only a certain pro portion for thcimelvch while the editors were in entiland

at th average uanse and this particular lad didnt rt loo much candy money lie vulled our ttore quite often and we sated all the broken candy thst we wifm have otherwise made tnto grab bags for him due

if you were ever young perhaps you can ima gine the feeling of that little chap with the big ear those saw logs looked like the real thing leter on this same tad sttended the oac and specialised in

had recently received word from washington d c to report to the american embajuy in tuo de janeiro in drazll and was on hi may going to washington by train and then on by plane we mentioned to him that it all seemed a far cry from those day back tn northern ontario and that he must have something surely iii reply was that perhaps men were scarce if we had received an appointment of that kind me would be apt to think that we must really be somebody but this gen tleman dldn t seem to think that it wa anything wonderful and he was atld humble enough to remind us of those peppermint sawlogs

you were interested enough in the present stanley cup series to alt up lo hear the whole of that long gome as played in detroit on tuesday evening of last week we re member sitting up for the conclusion of a somewhat similar game tn the spring of 1933 but this year we de cided to shut the radio off the 1033 game was the final one that gave to ronto the nil l title for that season by beating doston and it was a small or stature player by the name of ken doraty that got the winning goal doroty had been with the syracuse stare and moved up to the lafs in the 3333 season he hadnt been used very much on that important long game but seemed to have the knack of slip ping through where bigger players might have been unable to do so thus getting that famous goal he was sold to cleveland at the beginning of the 3536 season there seems to be a dif ference of opinion as to who it was that actually scored the winning goal in the long game nt detroit but at the long game in 33
