C, PORTEOUS ,* Director ONTARIO PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION rais is the third of a series • of weekly stories which V. C. • Porteous, a director of the Ontario Plowrrieres Association Is wafting about the visit of Canada's champion plowmen to the British' Isles, Belgium, and the Netherlands. • COPENHAGEN, Denmark: In the days when Vikings roamed the seas it probably took a week or more to sea between Denmark and England. Not beteg Vik- ings we decided to go by air Wither than by sea and in about two hours flying time we had travelled from London to Copen- hagen. At First the air was "pockety" but it wasn't long before the big passenger plane had climbed high above bank of clouds at an eltitude, of between 9,000 and • 10,000 feet. From then on it was • =oath flying. Ex , t for that brief period take -e. end just before landing we didn't see much of the land below, but we saw enough to give us a "bleeds - eye view" of the two countries. The yiew is certainly different from what you see when your feet are on the ground — the "TRETHEWEY HERE . . . with • the news from CFPL NEWS" Every week day at 8.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. CFPL's News Editor, John Trethewey, gives an up -to -the -second report of the news • . . history in the making . . . on 980 — CFPL, ' CLINTON N'EWS-RDCORD demonetration purposes. Tody stock from this farm as in de- mand all over Denmark, espee" rally the bull calves for artificial insemination units. We also visited an experiment- al station for pig breeding. A- bout 300 animels were • there under experiment for breed and feed, They are fed three times a day, we learned,- and indlyid- ual records are kept of the pro- gress of each pig. We also had time to inspect an experiinental milk processing plant.. It is very much like those at Jamie and being a model plant it is just about perfect in every detail. When you realize that about 90 per cent, of the land here is productive and nearly 80 pee cent, is actually farmed it is easy to understand why there are so many experbnental and demonstration farms and stat- ions. There are also inahy farm organizations such as co-operat- ives and: special soceeties for the stimulatien of breeding and oth- er stock improvements. Nearly every farmer belongsto one or more •el • these organizations. This no doubt explains why Dan- ish faitp„,pduets are so highly' regarded. During our tour we visited Roskilde, formerly a residential town of Danish kings. It poss- esses a famous cathedral that dates back, to the 13th century. It is go well preserved that It was bard to believe that the main part of the sacred edifice is more than 800 years old, This stately cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Zealand who is head of the Daniell state church. It is quite a contrast to many of the churches •in Den- mark whose .architeeture is what you would call "modernistic" in design. Perhaps •the most fam- ous is Grundtvigs church in Copenhagen. It is a -large yellow brick structure and resembles a pipe organ with the banks of pipes standing out againet the sky. And while we are on the sub- ject ca churches it might inter- est yob to know that the state church, which is Lutheran, is maintained by taxes. This does not bar other denominations from establishing here but they must meet their financial oblig- ations through private contri- butions. I think this as •enough for this letter although I could go on for Herbert Jarvis Hugh Leslie lend looks flat as a pancake. When we stepped off the plane at Copenhagen's airport we found a number of people waiting to welcome • us. Among them was E. M. Cornett of the Canadian Legation in Denmark. Meeting Mr. Cbrnett here ,was quite a coincidence for he lived for a time in my home them, Owen Sound, Ont., and 2 iknew bis father, Rev. A. D. Cornett, who was -Mated 'Church minister there before' moving, a few years ago, to Oshawa. We had quite e chat about old terries. That night we .(Herbert Jarvis of Agincourt, the, -champion horse plowman; Hugh Leslie of Geo- rgetowir, the champion tractor plowman, and myself) were guests of Knud Petersen of the Esse company in Denmark and L. H. de la Cour representing the C. N. R. here at a dinner and show. It was a most enjoy- able evening. The next day we left the hotel about eine a.m. for a tour and to see .a herd of Vanish brown cattle at a farm not far from the city. As we entered one of the buildengs I though for a minute that I was back home for stand- ing there was a milking maohine exactly dike one in. use on my farm.. We were impressed with the cattle. About 70 per, cent. of all the cattle an Denmerk, we were told, is of this breed. As the name indicates, they are brown in color, heavily constituted- and good milkers with a fairly high test. The mature cows in this herd averaged about 1,300 pounds in weight This large, well -kept dairy farm was once operated private- ly by several generations of one family. • In 1902 they turned the farm and herd •over to the gov- ernment for experimental and W.
