No. 11, East Wawanosh Porridge Is Still the Staple: Breakfast Food-Orotters Glave Radio Outfits --.Whiskey Giving Place to Tea -- Recent Changes Noted. Whiskey drinking is giving place to tea. Many crofters on Skye are, ex-Glas- gow policemen. Short eekirts have caused a vogue of kilt -wearing among women, Gaelic speakers are fewer, butGaelio readers are more numerous, Porridge ie still the staple breakfast. Crofters hear the T;nited States by wireless. These are among the lighter details in a picture, that may be drawn of the Highlands to -day," writes. Jas. L. Hughes in: the London Daily Mail, Government small -holdings and forestry -workers' holdings under the forestry commission are to some ex- tent checking the desertion of the Highlands that has been proceeding for a century, but the current south- wards and abroad flows steadily. Seventeen' counties have fewer people than fifty years ago. During that period deet' forests have almost dou- bled, totalling to -day 3,482,385 aycree, but employing only 900 to 1,200 men, ai;col•iizzet Seaspn,. ,The s�u,estion to what .degree the land codicil be better employed is con- troversial. Some writers claim that 1,500,000 acres could be used more profitably, and certainly larger's:.ocics of cattle and sheep could be grazed, but, Mr. J. P. Duncan, secretary of the Scottish Farm Servants' T; pion; said to me: ' "Certain partscould no doubt be put to be;;ter use, but nothing like thearea many people say. There is a good deal of loose talk generally about the number of men who could be settled. In the outer Highlands especially the settlement is practical- ' ly as complete as is can be." One whose knowledge of the High- lands is not easily rivalled said to rte: '"Where holdings are forsaken it is only, as a rule, because they simply will not maintain the family. Often the younger folk come south as po- licemen, ;soldiers, or school teachers, and when their time of pension ar- rives they return. That is wtiy yon find crofters in Skye who are ex - Glasgow policemen. "Communal grazing of stocks, of sheep -is common in the glens; some- times shepherds are appointed by the glen committee. This happens, I'..'be- lieve, in -Dueness, ehere 60 or 80 crofters join, but at lambing time the crofter takes his own ewes and, keen competition exists. When lambing is over the whole glen watches each man's sheep going off to the hills, and cries go up: 'Dougal MacKay made a fine job o' that,' . or 'James Fraser didna do that o'er weel," The result is a very'high percentage of lambs. "These Highland communities have developed and changed vastly in my lifetime. Girls have shingled and bobbed each other, and during the past .wo years the kilt has had a great vogue and revival among them, skiile dno doubt to the fashionable short rt. "Whiskey drinking Is declining. When I was a boy rent payment, sheep or cattle selling, and keeping the Old New Year (the 12th of Jan- uary) were occasions for a spree, for ge.ting very 'fou' -sometimes it last- ed two or three days. That has en- tire]i vanished. Grandfather drank three times as much 'as his grandson dons.Nearly every Yvilla e has its hall, where dancing, concerts, singing (most Scottish songs), and the play- ing .of draughts (a great favorite) and dominoes and carpet bowling goes on. 9 Often the local doctor hasa valve wireless set and keeps something like open house with it. I have picked up the. Ignited States in. Stornoway and Thurso. Mos. communities can boast some good. fiddlers. . Fewer speak Gaelic, though Gaelic songs are popular. "Porridge is still the staple break- fast taken with a bowlof milk (no. sugar) and followed by a cup of very strong tea with bread and butter and an egg or bacon if times are good. Oat cake is going out.'" The settling of men on small hold- ings 'continues end there is no lack of demand from tenants when the. Government's purchasesbecame known. Since 1912 3,591 new hold- ings and enlargements have been cre- ated in the "crofting counties." The enlargement of existing crofts is more .popular, T am told, than the creation of new holciingS: The forestry commission are exper- imenting with forestry workers' holdings as distinct from small hold- ings, oldings, guaranteeing holders six inon.ths':work in the forests, leaving them six months to devote to theft holdings. About 135 holdings have been, completed in two years and 50 others are in progress, some as small as two acres (usually devoted to poultry), others 10 to 15 acres of ar- able and grazing. A. few out -of -work Lanarkshire miners are being ace tented. The commission employs more than 1,100 men and 200 juveniles and wo- men, During the past ten years 37,- 400 acres have been planted and this year's program is 7,500 acres. Trees are conifers, larch, Soots piste, Ors, spruce, etc., about hag oe them on forest land cleared during the roar, Only land is desired that is no 'eult- able for cultivation.
