foot everything we hove seen arid heard has impressed us greatly it was only a matter of a few hours to fly from the united king dom to this country we landed at copenhagens modern airport where- we were met by otto rosen of the danish agricultural council which corresponds to our federation of agriculture and kmid petersen of det donske petroleums aktlescu slcab which is the danish esso company these two gentlemen ac companied us on a threeday tour of the land of the vikings before i launch into an account of our experiences here perhaps you will be interested in some background information denmark is an agricultural country of some 4000000 people of whom about a million live in this fine city of copenhagen incidentally there seem to be as many bicycles in this city as there are people just about everybody rides a bicycle and the cyclists have the right of way over motor cars at busy hours it is quite a sight to sec the streams of blcycjes running through the heart of the city but to get bock to the country its economy is based on farming whoso products accounted for 75 cent of uic countrys exports qua for soifle time and many of the buildinau ore loss than- so years old the

tows three times a day- and last year tie had two cows that produced over- 1000 lbs of butter fat the average of hel- manns herd would be equal to the best of our canadian herds wc also saw several herds that had an average of over 400 lbs of fat for 25 cows on 2x we were interested in the farm organizations over here almost all the bacon and butter and most of the poultry are processed and mar keted through producer coopera tives these are well organised and l is said that a side of bacon sold on the british market can be tra ced back to the farmer who fed the hog the danes are yjyry con scious of quality which is probably why they do so well in the export market as i mentioned earlier in my let ter the danish agricultural council is the number one organization of its kind hcrejt it

yeor this year they hope farm product will account for 80 per cent of exports which was the pre war figure agricultural products pay for oil coal and other goods purchased abroad for denmark has few natural resources besides her soil it is easy to understand why everyone- townspeople and farmers alike appreciate the importance of maintaining prosperity and are in terested in farming and farmers this probably explains why six journalists thats the name over here for newspaper reporters in terviewed us on our arrival three copenhagen dailies carried stories about canadian farming the next day the newspapers were con cerned about competition in the british market they wanted to know what we thought of the new contracts the journalists piled us with questions about our home markets our commodity organizations our plowing matches and how they are run they wished to know how the danes who have come to can ada are doing they arc definitely interested in increasing migra tion to canada from what have seen of danish farming would say the more danes that come to canada the better it will be for us well so much for being in tho news except that as english is spoken and understood by every body here wc did not have any dif ficulty with the interview our hosts took us on a 450mlle tour by car through the province of north zealand during which we visited farms and observed farm ing methods wc noticed that most of the farm buildings are grouped around three and sometimes four sides of a courtyard with the house on one side and stable and feed barns forming the other two or three sides the houses arc always close to the barn nntl orten are part or one building about 00 nor cent of the bulldiniis both houses and tarns are nlntiii and have icel tile roofs many of the barns ore made of brick anil are nbont oneimdahnlf stories hikh i dont know when i have seen such tidy farms about r0 per cent on tho land is sod the hiilaneo i well plowod and there is iro ctl- dence of weeds anywhere during our motor trip wc only saw tivo or three pieces of machin ery outside of course labour is vheaper and more plentiful than at home the average farm worker does not receive more than half the amount paid in canada the farms here arc smaller than our own and cxnrpt for tractors and some milking machines they are not as- highly mechanized and so re quire jmjremcn hogboro holm who has been sec retary of the council for many years is very well informed on agricultural matters many of you will probably remember ha ving met him at guelph last summer when he attended the annual
