C act Barley
We are taking contracts for barley
again this year; it looks like another year
of good prices for barley. I think it has
prospects of being as good of a cash crop
as any for 1950.
Have in stock: No. 2 Kiln Dried
Corn, Molasses in barrels, and Beet Pulp.
We are in the market for Wheat,
Oats, and Barley.

CANADIAN
PLOWMEN
ABROAD
by ALEX McKIIINEY Jr,.* Director
ONTARIO
PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION
This is the third of a series
of weekly stories which Alex
McKinney, Jr., a director of the
Ontario Plowmen's Association,
is ; writing about the visit ' of
Canada's champion plowmen to
the British. Isles, West Germany,
Denman*, and the Netherlands.
COPENHAGEN: Here we are
in Denmark, the home (if you
remember bock to your school
days) of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
But if there is "something rotten
in th ' State of. Denmark" we
haven't . discovered it.. In fact
everything we have seen and
heard has impressed us greatly.
It was only a matter of a few
hours to fly from the United
Kingdom to this country.' We
landed at Copenhagen's modern
airport 'where we were met by
Otto Rosen of the Danish Agri-
cultural Council, which corres-
ponds to our Fed'e'ration of Agri-
culture, and Knud Petersen of
Det Henske Petroleums Aktiesel-
skab, which is the Danish Esso
Company. These two gentlemen
accompanied us on a three-day
tour of the land of the Vikings.
Before I launch into an account
of our experiences here, perhaps
you will be interested in some
background information. Den-
mark is an egr'icuituroi country
of some 4,000,000 people of whom
about a million live in this fine
city of Copenhagen. Incidentally,
there seem to be as many bicycles
in this city as there are people.
Just, about everybody rides o
bicycle and the cyclists have the
right-of-way over motor cars. At
busy hours, it is quite a sight to
see the streams of bicycles run-
ning through the heart of the
city.
But to get back to the country.
Its economy is based on farm-
ing whose products accounted for
75 per cent of the country's ex-
ports last year. This year they
hope farm products will account
for 80 per cent of exports which
was the pre-war figure. Agri-
cultural products pay for oil, coal
and other goods purchased abreact.
for Denmark has few natural
resources besides her soil. It is
easy to, understand why every-
one, townspeople and farmers
alike, appreciate the importance
of maintaining agricultural pros-
perity and are interested in
farming and farmers.
This probably, explains why
six journalists (that's the name
over here for newspaper report-
ers) iinterviewed us on our ar-
rival. Three Copenhagen dailies
carried stories about Canadian
farming the next day. The news-
papers were concerned about
competition in the British mar-
ket, They- wanted ,to..lcnow 'what
we thought of the new contracts.
The "journalists" plied us with
questions about our home market,
our commodity organizations, our
plowing matches and how. they
are run. They wish to know
how the Danes, who have come
to Canada, are doing. They are
definitely interested in incre'ac-
ing migration to Canada. From
what I have seen of Danish
farming I would say the more
Danes that come to Canada the
better it will be for us.
Well, so much for being in the
news, except that as English is
spoken and understood by every-
body here, we did not have any
difficulty with the interview.
Our hosts took us on a 150 -
mile tour by car through the
Province of North Zealand during
which we visited farms and ob-
served fanning methods. We
noticed that most of the farm
buildings are grouped around
three, .and sometimes four, sides
of a courtyard with the house
on one side and stable and feed
barns forming the other two et
three sides. The housesare al-
ways close to the barn and oftep
are part of one building. About
90 per cent of the buildings, both
houses and barns are painted and
have red tile roofs: Many of the
barns are made of brick and are
about one -and -a -half stories hi ,h.
I don't know when I have seen
such tidy farms. About 50 per
cent of the land is sod, the bal-
ance is well plowed and there
is no evidence of weeds any-
where.
During our motor trip we saw
only two or three pieces of ma-
chinery outside. Of course, labor
is cheaper aird more plentiful
then at home; the average farm
worker does not receive more
than half the amount paid in

Canada, ' The farms here
smaller then our own and ex-
cept for tractors ,and some milk-
ing machines they are not as
highly mechanized and so require
more men, In fact, we only saw
one litter carrier eitherinBrit-
ain or Denmark and. Stable con-
veniences such as we have are
scarce.
However, I must say the farms
are prosperous looking. They look
as though they have been prosper-
ous for some time end many of
the buildings are less than 50
years old. The farmers. won't
admit they're making money!
The cattle we saw were mostly
Red Danish -a pureberd that is
peculiar to Denmark. They are
nearly as large as Holsteins, but
somewhat thicker in conforma-
tion and very uniform in type.
They test about.four per cent
higher than Holsteins but pro-
duce less milk. The best herd
James Eccles Ronald Marquis,
are in Denmark is probably on the
farm. of A. Reimenn who is
milking 80 cows three times a
day and last year he 'had two
cows that produced over 1,000
pounds of butter fat. The aver-
age of Reimane's herd would be
equal to the best of our Canad-
ian herds, We also saw several
herds that had en average of
over 400 pounds of fat for 25
cows on 2X.
We were interested in the farm
!organizations over here. Almost
all the bacon and butter and
most of the poultry products are
processed end marketed through
producer co-operatives. These
are well organized and it is said
that' a side of bacon sold on the
British market can be traced
back to the farmer who fed the
hog. The Danes are very con-
scious of quality which is prob-
ably why they do so , well in
the export market.

letter the 'Danish Agricultural
Council is the number one or-
ganization of its kind here. It
negotiates prices end largely de-
termines the agricultural policy
of Denmark. Arne Hogboro'Holm,
Who has been secretary of the
council far many years, is :very
well informed on agricultural
matters. Many of you probably
will remember having met him
at Guelph last summer when he
attended the annual meeting of
the International Federation of,
Agricultural' Producers. We spent
a most enjoyable and interesting
afternoon with him and he asked
after mnay friends he met in.
Canada.
Well, I think T have written
enough about Denmark in this
letter, • I'll just say in closing
that Denmark is an old country -
remember the Vikings? - it is
famous for its good farmers and
I feel we should welcome all of
her sons she can spare to take
up farming in Canada.
