his father work the family acres,
works another 150 acres which he
himself rents for mixed farming

His eyes, so far, have seen little more than his mother's face.
Soon they will see further his home, his school, his town,
his province, his country—the Canada that one day will be his.
From year to year, The Royal Bank of Canada's Annual
Financial Statement is a measure of Canada's vitality and,
growth, The figures ate cold, as figures must be, but the story
they tell is an exciting story, for you and for your children.
Total assets of the Royal Bank have now passed the p.5
billion mark, a figure never before reached in Canadian banking
history, Total deposits exceed $2.3 billion, another Canadian'
record. Interest bearing deposits of nearly $1,124,000,000—
the highest point ever reached by the bank—
art an indication of the thrift of Canada's
citizens. Loans to Canadian fanners, fishermen,
to manufacturers, to firms large and small,
and to individuals exceed $600,000,000.
These impressive figures are more than an
index of the Royal hank's record of
accomplishment; they are a clear indication
of Canada's economic health, and the
scale of opportunity that is ours.

TORONTO—In a few hours the
last goodbyes will have been
said and we will, be winging over
the white-mantled countryside to
New York. There we will board
the "Queen Mary" and begin a
trip, that will last six weeks and
• take us into seven European
Countries.
It would take • a wise man tq
say who is the most excited of
the three of us. For me it will
be a return 'to scenes that were
last viewed through the mists of
war. For my two young com-
panions it will be their first
glimpse of the. Old. World.
But before I go anya further
I had better make some intro-
ductions.
I am John (A. Carroll, assistant
deputy minister of agriculture
for Ontario. My two companions
a r e Canada's 1951 champion
plowmen and, I might add, the
youngest t plowing team this
country has produced,
Younger of this pair 'of chanip-
ions—and incidentally the young-
est man ever to win the horse
section of the Esse .Transatlantic
class at the International Plowing
Match—is E. Eugene Timbers, an
18-year-old 'stalwart from Milli-
ken, Ont. Winner of the tractor
section of the Esso Transatlantic
class is 24-year-old Norman S.
Tyndall, of Richmond Hill, just
north of Toronto.
During this trip to Great Brit-
ain and the continent I shall be
acting as their team manager and
NORMAN S. TYNDALL
reporter-Watorian of the events
that befall us and the things that
we see.
The expenses of our six-weeks'
trip are being paid by Imperial
Oil Limited, as have the expen-
ses of five previous champion
teams that have made the trans-
atlantic crossing,
Our trip will take us to Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland and North-
ern Ireland and to West Germ-
any, Denmark and Sweden. Gene
and Norman will, take part in two
plowing events in the United
Kingdom.
International plowing matches,
truly international matches with
contestants from all parr of the
world, will be well to the fore
of my mind during this trip. A
meeting is being iheld in London
to discuss the • possibilities of
creating a world competition and
I anticipate being present. I have
been authorized by 'the Ontario
Plowmen's Association to speak
as its representative if the meet-
ing gets down tq "talking tur-
key."
Some eight European nations
and ourselves have indicated int-
erest in this meeting and we will
have plenty of ,problems to iron
out: a standard plow for com-
petition, a universal set 'of rules,
and a plan for rotation of plow-
ing site, and others.
But I will tell you more about
that in later letters, when we
have had a chance to meet some
of the European officials and
gained their opinions. I also hope
to be able to report on some of
the agricultural developments we
see on our trip.
Right now I'd like to tell you
more about my travelling com-
panions.
Eugene Timbers is one of half-
a-dozen illustrious plowmen in
Ontario bearing that name.
Gene's coach and teacher was his
father, Ed Timbers, the winner
of the first Transatlantic award
in 1939, His trip across to Brit,
ain was cancelled because of the
war. Two of Eugene's cousins
have won the award since the
war: Fred Timbers in 1946 and
Robert Timbers in 1949.
And sthen, ap if to keep it in
the family one way or another,
last year's winner, Herb Jarvis,
of Agincourt, Ont., is Eugene's
brother-in-law.
Gene has been plowing since
he was 13 and has won numerous
prizes in county and local com-
petitions. When he was only 16,
his furrows •led him straight to
the top of the inter-county class
in the International and a two-
weeks' conservation tour in the
United States,
Gene lives with his parents on
their farm, lot 18, concession 5,
at Milliken in Scarboro Town-
ship.
My second gold medalist com-
panion, Norman Tyndall, is hop-
ing to renew some Scottish
friendships during our tour. Norm
has tbeen very active in the Un-
ienville Junior Farmers Club for
many years and is presently
president of York County Junior
Farmers. Last year, he acted as
host 'for two days to two of the
Scottish Junior Farmers who vis-
ited Canada. His house guests
were both young ,men, and though
he says it is them the wants to
meet again, both Gene and I
strongly suspect he is just as
have a full day's special session
and the subject of soil is being
given special attention on the
general programme this year.
At the annual banquet in the
King Edward Hotel on January

speaker, and the Huron delega-

Cattle Feeding Up
To Other Years
"There would appear to be as
many cattle being fattened in
this area as in the past years,
with all farmers having adequate
supplies of both roughage feeds
and cereal grains," G. W. Mont-
gomery, Clinton, agricultural
representative for Huron, report-
ed last week.
"Dealers report considerable
increase in advance fertilizer
orders, and already considerable
tonnage has been shipped into
the county.
"Already farmers are inquiring as to location of good seed grain
supplies.
"Interest in artificial insemin-
ation is quite keen, particularly
amongst the beef cattle breeders
in the County," Mr. Montgomery
declared,
