To celebrate our 2nd birthday, a party was planned that was to be a complete surprise to all. After following the reguâ€" |lar Brownie ceremonies for openâ€" \ ing the mecting, we played games. | Then Brown Owl took the Pack into |angther room to hear an Easter | story. _ While they were away |Easter eggs were hidden â€" and coloured baskets were set out for leach Six. On their return they | participated in an egg hunt which \ left few corners untouched. â€" Then tables were set for each Six and a birthday cake with two blue candles was brought â€" in. Beryl Carruthers the first Brownie to be enrolled in the Pack was asked to blow the candles out. A party is always a lot of fun; but when it is a birthday party and also a surprise party the enâ€" joyment is doubled. 54th Pack A book was presented to Mary Harrison on attaining two years perfect aftendance; then refreshâ€" ments were served to complete a very happy evening.

The Brownics working on Golden Hand made very good nurses bandaging the various cut knees and fingers of the children brought to the hosâ€" pital by the mothers. 2s In our powâ€"wow, we decided to wait until the end of May to go to the Museum.

The monthly meeting of the exâ€" ecutive members of the RCASC Veterans Association was held on Friday. April 2, in the University Avenue _ Armories, Plans were drawn up for the dance on April 28th, and a review of the work acâ€" complished in the past few months brought several interesting points to light. â€" on the dog owners who allowed their pets to run loose and strew garbage on everyone‘s lawns. We certainly hope this disgraceful condition will not occur again. It would| be impossible to print all the complaints we have reâ€" ceived about the .dogs running loose.

Thanks to the excellent arrangeâ€" ments of our sponsors, the Salada Tea Company of Canada, Ltd., and Imperial Oil Ltd., we were able to see a number of places of historical and agricultural interest while we were in Britain, as well as observe the conditions of the country and the people. In previous letters I have described the various spots we visited and now I would like to summarize for you our impressions of agricultural condition in Britain. British Farming Methods In Canada and the United States, we heard a great deal of talk about erosion on this continent. There was a book published some time ago dealing with this subject and called "The Plowmen‘s Folly". As I write this final letter, we are all back on our farms and goâ€" ing about our daily chores as usual. Our trip is over by the memory of the enjoyable time we had in Britain will remain with us for many a year. What impressed us most about British farms was the excellent way the farmer looks after his land. Proper care of the soil is, I think, the most important thing we have to learn from the farmers over there. In Britain, we didn‘t see any signs of erosion and they are plowâ€" ing their land 10 and 12 inches deep while still maintaining a high rate of fertility. They are keeping their soil built up and if you do that you don‘t have to worry about erosion. The British farmers work their land more intensely than we do and try to keep up the humus conâ€" tent of the soil. They also se more manure and more commercial fertilizers than we do. They keep a high percentage of stock per acre of land which gives them an extra supply of fertilizer: They get assistance from the governâ€" ment in obtaining commercial ferâ€" tilizer, although the supply of this is limited, They are careful to have the fertilizer suit the erop. In between times they grow grasses and in Scotland, government regâ€" ulations insist upon crop rotation. Of course, the British farms ‘are not as heavily mechanized as ours and they therefore need more farm help than we do. Over there, farm labor is unionized and the miniâ€" For this reason, there will be nc relaxation of effort in the mem bership drive. Further discussion was held on the question of procuring permanâ€" ent quarters as club rooms, and encouraging . incidents point . to future success in this endeavour. Mr. Norman Walker, secretary of the Asscoiation, asked members to tell their friends about the organâ€" ization. and to continue soliciting new members. Membershin has attained over 500. although it has not been static since the beginning of the year. â€" m â€" A discussion was also held relaâ€" tive to the fee for membership. A recent national survey shows that, at the present cost of living organâ€" izations cannot survive with memâ€" berships of less than $2.00 per annum. Despite this fact. the RCASC Veterans Organization fee will remain at $1.00 at least until the conclusion of the present membership drive. Mrs. Ted Hough, Gardon Ave., informs us that the women of Zone 6 hold meetings similar to those held in Zone 7. Their meetâ€" ings are held the second Wednesâ€" day of each month and the next one will be held at the home of Mrs. Gibnev. tie your pet up before someone sends the dog catcher a special invitation to visit Humberlea.

SUPPORT THE WESTON ARENA CITY AND SUBURBAN DELIVERY AND GUIDE, WESTON .by W. L. CLARK # President ONTA RIO PLOWMEN‘S ASSOCIATION CO. LTD. PLOWMEN Although hand labor is still very prevalent in Britain, the trend is towards mechanization and there is a big demand for machinery of all kinds. The muntr{l is surprisingly well su})plied with tractors (one tractor for every four acres of land under cultivation). The pressure of wartime demand was the means of putting tractors on the farms. There is still, however, very little mechanization in the handling of crops, etc. We saw only one manure spreader â€" and their method of handling grain is still antiquated and slow. We found the British farmers cheerful and optimistic about the future. This is not hard to underâ€" stand since agriculture in Britain is more prosperous than it has ever been. The farm lands around East Lothian, near the Firth of Forth, were, we thought, the best in the country. . â€" s mum wage for an ei{ht-hour a day week is £4 6d (about $16.50). The average is about £5 (l]‘)froxi~ mately $20.00) with board and sometimes with lodgings. Agricultural prices are good alâ€" though controlled. Subsigies are still in effect on a number of items and for this reason it is impossible to compare British and Canadian prices. British Plowmen Anxious To Compete in Canada _ At the matches, several of the British plowmen expressed a deâ€" sire to compete in a Canadian plowing match. I pointed out to them that if they did come they would have to plow according to our rules, just as we had to abide by their standards in Britain. While the British plowmen use the practical style of plowing on their farms, they still favor the high cut work â€" and narrow _ furrow _ for matches. I don‘t think it will be long until they are copying our style. One thing that seemed strange to us about British plowing was the general use of the wheel. Here, of course, only the young boys use wheels. The Salada horse plowmen, John Capton and Alf Brunton, had a curious experience the first time they plowed in Britain. Over there, the farmers say "Waa" instead of "Whoa" to stop their horses. The difference® in expression was at first almost as confusing to the boys as it was to the horses. _ There were a number of other factors about the .British farms which caught our eye. Glen Mcâ€" Faddin was particularly interested in the construction of their barns and their method of feeding cattle, while Russ Hare was impressed with the neatness of the buildings and the care of the land. Barns in Britain are quite differâ€" ent from ours. They are not as large for one thing, being just one storey, and are rather squatty in design. They are. made of stone and have slate roofs. Inside they are divided into compartments. _ â€" Cattle are fed the year ‘round in open pens. These pens have a roof and one or two open sides. _ Their method of threshing struck us as unusual. They thresh only when the grain is neededâ€"which is about once a weekâ€"and then bring the stacks into the barn where the machines are kept. â€" To sum up our experiences abroad, I would say that we have had the opportunity of seeing how other people live and work as well as acquiring knowledge which we can put to good use on our farms. On a trip such as the one we have had, there are some things which are hard to evaluateâ€"the friendâ€" shi(;)s made; the goodwill built up and the contacts established. The results may be more farâ€"reaching than we can imagine. _ The youngest member of our party, John Capton, is the idol of all Britain. Winner of the Salada silver medal for horse plowing, John had such a wonderful time that he is casting envious eyes on the tractor prize so that he can visit â€" Britain, _ and | particularly northern Ireland, again. . Our sponsors are to be comâ€" mended for their enterprise in proâ€" moting this trip. They did everyâ€" thing possible to make our visit profitable and entertaining, as did the officials of Ontario and Canâ€" ada House in London. As a pleasâ€" ant conclusion to our trip, we had a comfortable return voyage on the Queen Elizabeth. _ We have had a grand tripâ€"all of us. I hope our good fortune will be shared by many more Can@dian farmers and will swell the entrics in next vear‘s International Plowâ€" ing Match WESTON 1224 First and foremost, it pkmvidea farmers with a simple bookeeping system. A few minutes each week will enable him to keep accurate reâ€" cords. These records will show him exactly where he standsâ€"what Kro- gress his farm is makingâ€"where he is making or losing money. Correct Record These records in the farm acâ€" count book are numbered to corâ€" respond exactly with the Tâ€"1 tax form. In April next year, when the farmer makes out his tax return for 1948, all he need to do is to transâ€" fer the totals from his account book directly to the form. He eliminates the need for and saves himself the cost of expert help. Now available to farmers all across the country is a new book, called the F*‘r'l Agcount Book and Income Guide. It was deâ€" signed by the Department of Naâ€" tiona!l Revenue in aâ€"sincere effort to help farmers. To save them time, trouble and worry. There are no nrin,- attached. The account book is free for the asking. By using it, the farmer in no conceivable way oblifnea himâ€" selfâ€"anymore than if he : had never seen or used a copy at all. Equally important to the farmer, the farm account book shows him the deductions he can make for expenses and for degreciltion. How much, for example, he can deâ€" duct for depreciation on a barnâ€" a tractor or any of 75 different items of common farm equipment. Both are optional. The farmer can use them or not, as he sees fit. In many instances it will be to his personal advantage to do soâ€"and ;he farm account book shows him ow. Additional â€" advantageous â€" feaâ€" tures explained in the farm account book are the 3 year Average Plan and the Basic Herd. In brief, the farm account book and Income Tax Guide has been designed in a spirit of fair play to help the farmer and give to him all the benefits to which he is enâ€" titled by law. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving it a fair trial. In the words of the Honourable J. J. McCann, M.D., our Minister of National Revenueâ€""Our farmâ€" ers are the mainstay of our prosâ€" perity and when we help him we help‘every citizen in the land." First Banquet Ends Successful Forum Year A bumper crowd of over 300 peoâ€" ple from every corner of the Proâ€" vince attended the Ontario Farm Radio Forum Annual meeting, held in the Fiesta Room of the Prince George Hotel, Toronto, on March Sist. Dr. E. A. Corbett of the Canaâ€" dian Assoication for Adult Educaâ€" tion, guest speaker, pointed out, among other things, the greatest treasures in life were the ones of the mind and the spirit. In addressâ€" ing the First Annual Banquet he went on to say that Farm Radio Forum, being the largest adult eduâ€" cational program in the world today using Radio, is making a temific c(éntribution to the people of Canâ€" ada. Total wool production in Canada in 1947 amounted to 14,090,000 1b. as compared with a revised estiâ€" mate of 16,747,000 lb. for 1946. The decline in wool production in 1947 reflects the decrease in sheep numbers. Shorn wool production decreased in every province, and with fewer sheep available for slaughter, _ pulled _ wool _ also decreased by 1.4 million pounds. The Chairman of the Ontario Executive, Mr. Wm. McCarthy, and the Ontario Secretary, G. Clare Burt, both indicated excellent proâ€" gress for the past year and pointed to a bright future for Ontario Farm Radio Forum. This was substanâ€" tiated by the reports of the Zone Chairmen. Miss J. E. Masters of Weston reâ€" resented the Burgess â€" Corners Forum. Wool Production TO ALL GROWERS OF BEETS, CARROTS, CABBAGE and PUMPKINS FOR PROCESSING IN ONTARIO A Ballot, with return envelope, has been sent to all growers who sold beets, carrots, cabbage and pumpkins for processing in 1947.
