Workington is a mining ,town in
Otmtlbeeland and it was there that
we were to have competed in our
first plowing match, We were re•
ceived by Mayor R. 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,

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.
