Although on a necessarily smal- 1er scale, farming in Switzerland is similar ta that in Canada. Ac- cording ta the speaker, the Swiss have lusciaus fertile valleys that will grow practically everything grown here, but dairying is the most important industry. Farms varv from 50 ta 150 acres in the lowlands, while in the foothilîs and alpine regions the land is used ta graze co-operative cattle herds which range bigh in the mountains ahi summer with paid herders in attendance while far- mers till their fields below.

"The people are so fond of their owrî wine," Mr. Lende said, "very little is expohced." If a persan feil asleep 400 years ago and awoke today in Switzer- land, "He would find little change," the speaker said.
