For the first time in the hi --

the Ayrshire breed is taking
second place to the Holstein. The
Ayrshireis still considered the

has grown into the most popular
breed,
The average livestock which
lie saw in the fields around the
country were "mull inferior to
what we have here," however,
Mr. Dixon said. -"The quality of
the cattle and swine definitely
is not on a par with ours."

The agriculture teacher says
the horse is definitely out of the'
farm picture in England. In fact,
he 'believes one could find more
horses on Ontario farms than in
the 'U.K.
Yield of the land is, in some
cases, exeeptiottal. The wheat
king harvested 126 bushels to
the acre. His main crope were
sugar beets, wheat, pats and_
horse beans. Twenty tons is bon-

In the north of England, one
1,100 -acre farm 'Mr. Dixon visited
grazed 2,500 sheep and 230 head
of cattle. In this :particular farm
the cattle were -hybrids of Black
Galloway, Shorthorn and _Aber-
deen Angus.

"awful". They are 200 to 300
years old. "Hay sheds were the
only new buildings I saw." These
are open -sided buildings with a
root for storing hay.
The Exeter man. found English
baling interesting. Instead tsf do-
ing the job in one operation, the
English farmer puts his hay Into
a. small coil, .thee into a larger
coil, then he forks it into the
baler. This is necessary because
of the moist climate.
Instead of taking a. guided
tour through England, the Dixons
rented an English car and set out
at their own leisure for 'various
parts of the country. The couple
felt by doing this they saw much
of England which the average
tourist would miss. They made
their headquarters at the home
of Mrs. Dixon's sister who is liv-
ing near London.
Striking out front _Orpington
to the southwest eorner of Eng-
land, the couple became lost and
finally -wound up at the Epsem

friendly earetaker showed them'
around. In Gilford, they visited a
400 -year-old school in which the
residents took extreme pride. The
