Cigarettes are 3s. 6d. (about 50 cents) for a package of 20. cin are much smaller than ours. They are irregular in shape and surrounded by hedges of various kinds. In the Midlands we not- iced that some of the farmers are removing their hedges to make their fields larger and more suitable for power machinery. I might mention here that there are more tractors per acre in Britain than in Ontario and there are very few horses in the better farming areas, Some of the things we learned about agriculture in Great Britain made us realize that every coun- try has its own way of doing things. For instance the avearge farmer in Britain keeps as much livestock but uses more labor on 100 acres than we do on a 201F - acre farm in Ontario. J. M. Woodley of Newquay is a good example. He farms 105 acres of land which he leases from the King, On that farm he keeps 60 head of purebred Devon in- cluding 15 cows milking; 60 breeding ewes; a flock of 150 hens; and last year he marketed 50 hogs. Besides this livetsock Mr. Woodley grows five acres of early potatoes which he will plant this month (February) and harvest in early June. After that he will use the same land for broccoli or Brussels sprouts. He operates the farm with the help of three men, two small tractors and two horses. He hires extra labor in harvest tune. Mr. Woodley's farm buildings are stone and one storey high, maybe 150 years old. They are grouped around his house which is older still. Farms such as this rent fog four or five pounds per acre (about $13 or $16 at the present rate of exchange), Restrictions and controls are the chief cause of complaint here. Colored gasoline in what seems to be sufficient quantities can be obtained for tractors; but only I think this is enough for this' letter but I must say here that we've had a very interesting visit and I'd like to come back to England in the spring or summer when all the trees and hedges are green.
