Al‘ I wflut:gi‘: letter we‘ve had. As I ‘:fl_t: fiiu” letter we are preparing to return ~ land but we shall not Ior‘n%l beautiful country nor the many friends we have made here. From the moment we landed until now, we have been entortainâ€" ed and feted by our genial Irish hosts. After a ver{ rough crossing, we were met at the station by a great crowd of officials, They took us to the hotel for a welcome dinner and from then on it was one tonâ€" tinuous round of receptions,‘ lunâ€" cheons and dinners. In the midst of all these festiviâ€" ties, however, the boys did not lose track of the main purpose of their visitâ€"which is to broaden their agricultural _ knowledge _ and to strengthen the bonds of frienduhm that already exist between Briti and Canadian farmers. The main event in Ireland and the primary reason for our journey to that country was, of course, the International Plowing Match, which was held at Saint‘s Field, County Down, Ireland. It was a grand contest. . International Plowing Match The morning before the match, the boys were taken to farms where their plows had been delivered. They were provided with teams and tractors and all had a little pracâ€" tice. As it turned out, they cfidn't have a chance to win anything at the match since the prize list only called for two types of plowing: High Cut or Oat Seed Furrow and Broken Work, which is sod plowed with a plow having a blade atâ€" tached to the back of a mould board. The blade breaks up the furrow and is supposed to leave it in condition to sow the grain. We were a little disappointed in the weather on the day of the conâ€" test. It was mild and cloudy in the morning but at 12 o‘clock rain started and by midâ€"afternoon, the field was a sea of mud and some tractors had great difficulty in making headway. Some fine work was done nevertheless. The rain did not spoil the enâ€" thusiasm of the 20,000 people who had come to see the contest. Some of the spectators had travelled by special buses from Eire while others had flown in chartered airâ€" craft from the Isle of Man. Plowmen from Scotland, Engâ€" land, Eire and Canada had come to County Down to compete in the match. _In all there were 128 enâ€" trieeâ€"125 men and three women. The number of tractors and horses were about equalâ€"65 horses and 63 tractors. â€" Admiration was generously acâ€" corded the three women contestants who plowed exceptionally well. The woman chamgion, Miss Joy Philâ€" lips, although only 20, has had more than five years‘ plowing exâ€" perience. According to the Belfast Newsâ€" letter, the Canadian team was one of the main attractions. As usual, everyone was particularly anxious to see John Capton. John, the Salada silver medalist, is a fullâ€" blooded Cayuga Indian. He was easily found for he plowed in the most colorful attire on viewâ€"a red and blue jerkin gaily decorated with leaping reindeer. Despite the admiring throngs around him, John plowed one of the best lands of his career and it took men at either end of the field to make way for ‘his horses. â€" â€" The lands for plowing were quite small in comparison to what we were used to but I think the reason for this was that the directors wanted to have all the plowmen in one field. It was quite a remarkâ€" able feat to have so many plowmen in a single field. _ Our boys plowed very well but sad to report, the Canadian teams had no success. The only competiâ€" tors from outside Coleraine Provâ€" ince to secure a prize were the Macâ€" auley brotHers, who won the horseâ€" work team prize for Skene, Scotâ€" land. As I mentioned before, our practical style of piowing is not favored here for match work. In another year, however, I believe a class will be included in their prize list for our type of plowing since most farms now are being plowed in that way. Bélfastâ€"Here we are in Ireland 24.

We were suticularly impressed with the imensions Qef the machinery. For instance, ont lathe takes a J)rw peller shaft 100 ft. long and 24 inches in diameter while a erank shaft for a 1,000 hp diesel motor weighs 20 tons. . Belfast Shipyards After our tour of the shigyirds we were taken to the only skating rink in Belfast. It is a very large building and, of course, the ice is artificial. We were provided with skates and spent an enjoyable half hour on the ice. When we came off the rink, as a memento of our visit to the Emerald Isle, we were each presented \ng:h a Shilelaghâ€" a stick made from Irish blackâ€" thorns. We are sorry to leave Ireland and to have to bid farewell to the kind people who have given us such a warm Wwelcome. Before sailing for Canada we shall have nearFy a week in Engâ€" land. In my next letter I‘ll try to tell you about our activities during that week. Continued from page 1â€" very busy time wit%x Eskimos _ who came to the boat for healing.

The Grenfell Mission exists for no other reason than to minister to nameless folk whose only payment is their gratitude. "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least_of these my brethren, ye did it unto me." A birthday cake was presented to Mrs. Roy, a faithful worker in the Grenfell, on her birthday, Feb. 26, and "A Happy Birthday" was sung by all present. . Resist that first impulse to pour on water when fire breaks out in the home, warn fire authorities. When fire occurs in or around electrical equipment, never use water or other fire extinguishers until the electric current is cut off completely at the switch. â€" Know Your Switches The next Grenfell sewing tea will be held at the home of Mrs. J. W. Watts, 169 King street, on Friday, March 19, at 2.30 p.m. Be sure all members of the family know how to "throw" or "pull" the main switch to "deaden‘" the wiring system in case of fire emergency. When the electricity is turned off, the proper extinâ€" guisher can be applied to the fire. Wire inside motors and other elecâ€" trical equipment are covered with insulating â€" material which burns much like an oily rag.

How the men tramped: through the bush for miles to the nearest store and brought home a bag of flour on their backs.
