very favournbly impressed with the general standard of agri culture in britain however it must be admitted that both in eng land and scotland the farms wc have visited arc the best in each district and perhaps not entirely typical- one b the first stops on our route was a 200 acre truck garden ing farm the seasons here arc ahead of ours and wc noticed let tuce and some other vegetables be ginning to peep through the aoll at least 25 varieties of vegetation i re grown on this farm which during the war years provided tie government with 5000 tons of vege tables annually- the owner mr r 1 scarlett told us that he em ployed 60 men th year around and in the growing and harvesting a- aon often hired an addiutwl num ber of men and women the women jrt this country are just as active in the fuld 0 the men alter watch ing them at worv we wwdered if we might suggest something simi lar for canadian women the stubles provide a plentiful sup ply for the uyumulu without causing a drought many

commercial feeds and at less cost the beef farmers are unhappy about the feed situation and argue that the people need beef as well as milk after living on british food for several weeks now we are inclined to agree with them we are all beginning to long for a good canadian roast despite the fact that the substitutes mainly fish and poultry are good and are not on the ration list there is also a form of sausage which has become somewhat of a national dish made i am told mostly of bread crumbs with jutfe or no meat in it a mawuau in blstreas we had an experience at one of the stock farms which seems funny to ui now but certainly was not amusing at the time particularly to rhys bacher while we were look- ing over a herd rhys lingered be hind in a pen of four young bulls the herdmen thinking all were out closed the door and bolted it a few seconds later we heard loud shouts for help and we all rushed back to discover the trouble- then we saw rhys cornered by four beautiful young bulls who
