He might have added— by the Romans or anyone else. The Welsh take great pride that they never surrendered to the Romans but maintained guer- rilla strongholds in the hills.

With all this nationalist feel- ing• there seems to be no sub- stantial InoVemerit for home rule, though there is a Welsh 'Council and a Minister for Welsh Affairs in the 'House of Commons.

We left there last night and tomorrow we will be- gin our travels in Scotland, which Norman sat in the back with three dogs, one of which persist- .ed in wagging its muddy tail a- gainst my ears. We took a trail which had been gravelled and slated under the improvem'ent scheme and within minutes we have ascend- ed 500 feet. At the top there was snow and ice, but a mag- nificent view of the surrounding valleys. When we returned, Mrs. BarStow suddenly said: "Look there, isn't that annoying?" and pointed to some half a dozen wild ponies which had joined the do- mestic ones kept for the children.

We had never seen more at- tractive plowing than that done by these experts with narrow ex- hibition type plows. The turn- wrest type was of particular int- erest to the boys. There are two plows in each unit, and when the' end of a, furrow is reached the team is turietback, the other horse takes the furrow, and the opposite plow ,is let down. This means. no crown as we know it and no finish. It was obvious though, that 'considerable skill is required to get these two plows adjusted to precisely , the same type of - furrow. All the work was, of the high cut, or oatseed furrow type., . • The ,difference in the work of these 'glen and the plowing of our own boys demonstrated once' again there will have to be Con- siderable give and take-to reach common ground for an equitable international .competition, . • It has been.a source, of pleasure to us to find an increasing 'inter- eSt hi plowing matches wherever we have been. In Britain -there are now some 350 active plow- men's associations, and as at home, the officers are among the best farmers in the community. The Cornish countryside is dif- ferent from anything we had seen before. The coast is rather bleak, because of the high winds off the Atlantic. Even inland the trees are all "shanty-roofed", being trimmed on the west by wind and salty vapour. In nearby val- leys and further inland we found luxuriant plants of a semi-tropi- cal nature; palms, rhododendrons, azalea, camellia and the broad- leafed illex trees.

Their shapes are dictated by the winding roads which seem to follow early livestock trails. All fields are fenced by five to seven foot walls of stone and sod, first built perhaps five centuries ago, The weather favored our rail journey from. Cornwall to Brist- ol, where we began our tour of Wales. The sun shone through- out the day and we saw much of the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and GIOncester, At Bristol we were met by Evan Williams of the Esso Pet- roleum Company, who was, as typically Welsh as his name would suggest. He was a perfect example of the intense spirit of • nationalism that pervades Wales, • although it has been a part of the British Isles for 700 years. The story goes that' while Mr. Williams was in the army he took a conducted tour of Rome. For a time he listened to the guide wax eloquent on the successful Roman invasion of Britain. Fin- e wants toset marri6c1—' on workmanship should have given him third, if not second place, However, the judges felt that the type of furrow did not permit them to place him any higher., The work of both boys was much admired for its uni- formity and straightness, and we overheard 'aseveral farmers com- menting on the fadt that our plowing seems more practicable. Although the fierce Atlantic gales had been pounding the Cor- nish coast less than 36 hours be- fore, the weather at the time of the match was like an early May clay at home. Apart from being a little damp on top, soil con- ditions were, ideal. More than 4,000-were present; about the at- tendance . we would expect at a Canadian plowing.
