Townsley 'and were his guests at a civic luncheon. The afternoon had been set aside for plowing praotice in pi eparation for the match next day, but due to the .heavy snow and cold 'andtheir effect •on the ground, the match was postponed for two weeks. This was a CBS appointnneat in the town too, because the people seeined very inter- ested in us and had made many' care- ful arrangements, As en example, ONE POUND .

Road Opened at Last. The snow plow Caine an Sunday, and opened the north end of the 6th Concession, to let the 'school bus out. It is two weeks since the bus has been able to make the rounds. Returns From Hospital Friends of Earl Fidler are glad to see, him back home again after sev- eral weeks spent in Alexandra Hos- pital, Goderich, the result of an in- fection in his neck and face Condition Improving Mrs; Morris Frame, who has been confined in Clinton Public Hospital the past, two weeks is steadily im- proving. Friends are wishing her back with us again, the Education officer had planned to bring 600 schoolboys to see us corn. pete. The champion plowman of Devon, who has. won 43 cups, had in- tended to enter the matches. TRIPS IN CUMBERLAND However, ,the ,postponement gave us a little break and most of our boys took the chance to catch up on their sleep before a Rotary dinner that night. Next morning we were `taken for a beautiful drive through the Cum- berland mountains. Our first stop was at the very fine farm home of Mr. Joseph Musgrave at Taenbank. After viewing his herd of Holsteins and other stock we were received in his home by his wife and family -- another example of the British hos- pitality we have received everywhere. We had lunch at Keswick, a very popular resort in the summer, and: then we drove a few -miles farther to a sheep farm an the hills. Here the owner, a Mr. Itelph, gave us a demonstration of sheep dogs at work that was simply amazing. The three dogs were directed by their, master's whistle, each by a note of its own, and rounded up the sheep with re- markable intelligence and skill. This was one of the most enjoyable trips of our entire tour so for. In the evening we were the guests of the Workington ,and district Ag- ricultural Society at their annuri dinner. This was to have been the plowmen's banquet at which prizes would have been presented if the match had not been postponed. Pro- posing a toast, J. Lancaster, the chair- man sail: "There never was a time when agriculture was quote so necessary in England. This i' an induetry that has been neglected in the past. Now, if ee. are to s.n•vive, we must get ,is, s to the land". Mr. Lancaster also declared that plowing matches between one Dom- inion and another are an activity that will help to bring the countries of the Empire closer together. "Canada came in with us right at the beginning of two World Wars", he said, "We have stood side by side to fight a military enemy. Now we are prepared to continue side by side to fight what is an even greater en- emy, the world food shortage." Next morning we visited' another farm near Workington where we saw a large herd of grade milking Short- horns. They had nearly 800 head, young and old, with over 100 milking. The farm home and other buildings were built of stone and the house and barn were attaehed, but the arrange- ments struck us as inconvenient and making a lot of extra work. That night we took the boat for Ireland when we arrived next morn- ing, after a smooth crossing of the Irish Channel We were met at the wharf by James Ruddock, secretary treasurer of bhe North freland Plow- men's Association and a number of directors. BAD WEATHER IN IRELAND Ireland is sharing England's bad weather and conditions .are very un- favorable for plowing, Because of the fuel shortage there is no heat in our hotel rooms and we aren't very comfortable. But the lack of heat is being made up in kind hospitality for nowhere in our tour have we received a 'warmer welcome from the people. On our first day in Belfast we were shown through the buildings and park of the Agricultural Association. The grounds were used as a military camp during the war and now require some extensive repairs, This is the headquarters for livestock sales in Northern Ireland, like the Perth Sales we saw in Scotland. They have a very fine building which is used for hockey in •the winter with an ice sur- face of 220 feet by 180 feet, By Monday morning it 'was quite evident that the plowing match which had been set for the following Wed- nesday could not take place because of the frost and snow and it was post- poned to the end of the week. We were ,taken to Belfast City Hall Where we were presented to the Lord Mayor, Mr. Neill. After touring the building with its beautiful stairway of Italian marble, we returned to our hotel 'where we were guests of the Hon. Mr. Moore, Minister of Agri- culture of Northern Ireland, at lunch- eon. After a few short speeches, each member of the party was pre- sented with a .shillelagh stiek as a souvenir of Ireland. • In the evening we were guests of the• Fanners' Union of Saint Field at their annual social, The Farmers' Union of Great Bn'itain is similar to the Federation of Agriculture in Canada. Each , country and each county has its own organization like our ,provincial and county organizat- ions at home. It is quite evident they are doing good work, es the farmer", in Britain are receiving much better prices for their produce, than we ire in Ontario. The Young Fanners' Union is very active. Under the direction of Me. Kirkpatrick, who is chief organizer for Northern Ireland, over 80 groups have been formed. We have been invited to be the guests of. the Young Farmers' at meetings in the next few. evenings. A finer brunch ° of ,young peeele would be hard to filed in any country, The postponement of the match here will mean that our itinerary must be rearranged. We will put the time to good use .because there is a great deal to see, but we are not very hopeful that the postponed matches will be held. It has been aur luck to visit Britain during the worst winter they have had in many ,years and we may have to leave for Canada without ever turning a sod in the Old Land. Postponed CLEARING AUCTION .
