ULSTER. — It's more than a month since we boarded, the Queen, Mary at New York to sail to the United Kingdom. Since then we've been around quite a bit, visiting points in England, Denmark and West Germany. Now after spend- ing four days in the Netherlands we are in Ulster. But before de- scribing our experiences in North- ern Ireland I'll try and pick up where I left off in my last letter, the one from Germany. We travelled by train from Ham- burg to Holland where we were met at The Hague by D. A. Bruce Marshall, the agricultural special- ist of the 'Canadian Embassy. Many of you will .remember Bruce's father, . the late Senator Duncan dainty lunch was served by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. A. Cooper. Marshall. The senator was at one time minister of agriculture fqr Ontario and did much to encour- age the raising of purebred cattle as well as other improvements 1 Canadian agriculture. Bruce was a great help to us and acted as our guide and interpreter through- out our visit. We have been told that Holland is a small country with a large population and everything we saw tended to bear this out. The farms are so small that they can no long- er be divided up to hand on to descendants of the families that occupy them, As a result, about 180,000 people leave agriculture each year. They must seek em- ployment in other fields, but as there are not a great many other industries, agriculture accounting for 60 per cent of Holland's export trade, many of these people must migrate. We were told that Hol- land looks to Canada to receive as many Dutch immigrants as rpos- sible. !Yom my observations I would say the Dutch are industrious lot and I feel the same about them as I do, about the Danes—that is, that Canada should admit as many of them as she can absorb. As we expected, Holland is the land of windmills and dikes. We could understand this when we learned that more than 30 per cent of the country is below sea level. The Dutch are finding it very cost- ly to reclaim the land that they flooded when the Nazis invaded their country. You really have to go there and see for yourself to realize how much work is involv- ed in maintaining the dikes and manning the pumping stations that keep the sea out. •It's an amazing country. On one of the motor trips we made we saw a 'flower auction in operation. It was held about 40 miles from Amsterdam in a hall about an acre in extent. There was about every flower you can think of there, as well as quanti- ties of winter vegetables. They were brought in on trays, each tray was numbered andrepresent- ed epresented a certain grower. There were about 150 buyers on hand, most of them from London, Paris, Brussels and other centres outside Holland. Each buyer had' an electric push button at his side, The peculiar thing about this auction is that the bidding is the reverse of ours —the price starts high and comes down as the auction proceeds! When the price suited a buyer he pushed the button and a light flashed. This stopped the bidding. This also meant that there was on- ly one bidder. This system seems to maintain prices at a very high level. During our stay at The Hague the Canadian Ambassador, Hon. Pierre Dupuy, gave a dinner in our honor. It was a wonderful dinner and was attended tby many Dutch government officials. At the din- ner I presented three of the Cana- dian maple trees I brought with me to the Dutch government. When the weather improves the Dutch authorities, are., going to plant them in the Canadian war ZION We are sorry to report Mr. Thomas Mitchell is not improving very quickly.

Good seed can be obtained from, the local seed store; it can be, relied upon as it conforms to established Government standards. But it is a good plan. to ask your supplier do give you the varieties best suited to your 'particular locality. Often a crop does not do well because a variety of seed was used not suited to the district. Hog Numbers Show Increase The number of hogs on Cana- dian farms—excluding Newfound- land—on December 1, 1949, was estimated at 5,412,900 as compar- ed with 4,604,200 on the same date in 1948, an increase of 18 per cent. There was an increase of 20 ler cent in Western Canada, and a gain of. 16 per cent in Eastern Canada. The fall pig crop—pigs saved, June to November—amounting to 4,199,100, was 19 per cent larger than in the fall of 1948. This rate of increase in the pig crop applied to both East and West. According to the estimate of sows to farrow during the spring period of 1950. the spring pig crop this year will be about 13 per cent greater than that of 1949. * * * J. B.

Collect SEAFORTH DARLING & COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED During the war quite an army of city dwellers developed info wartime vegetable gardeners. Time andmany an aching back has tak- en its toll, and many a space in the backyard garden is back in grass or in growing perennials— flowers which require the least at- tention. But some still find vege- table growing a healthy hobby and continue to supplement the dinner table with home-grown supplies. It is surprising the quantity of vegetables that can be grown on the smallest of backyards, but where space is naturally limited, it is best to keep to those mo.,t easily grown. Beans, beets, let- tuce, radish, carrots, onions, spin- ach and tomatoes make a good list. The best place fig the vege- table patch is where it will receive full sunlight. Digging in the fall is best, but it can ,be done in the spring just as soon as the ground is dry enough to work properly. A .common mistake is to dig too deeply. The best part of the soil is generally the top -soil which the builder used when grading, and for this reason spading should not exceed eight or 10 inches,'so that the better soil still remains on the top.

I might say that the maple trees, which I presented as a sym- bol of Canadian fellowship and esteem for the overseas countries, were well received everywhere. At Copenhagen I planted one at the veterinary college. At Newquay, in Cornwall, where the boys plow- ed their first match soon after ar- riving in the U.K., I planted a maple and presented one to the city. It is to be planted in the city square some time later. It was in Belfast that they made a big ceremony out of the tree planting. I planted one in the city square and the Lord Mayor, Mr. W. Johnston, and other dignitar- ies, were on hand. It was quite an honor, for the Lord Mayor told me that it was the first tree planted in the city square by any one other than a member of royalty. The last tree planted there was an oak - and it was planted by the Duke of Windsor when he was Prince of Wales. That was one of the highlights of our week in Ulster. We came here after a day in London when we were the guests of Col. J. S. P. Armstrong, the Ontario Govern- ment Agent -General, at a luncheon. We had flown to London from The Hague and the trip was unevent- ful. We went from London by train and then by boat to Belfast, and that, too, was a fairly unev- entful trip. Here the boys took part in the ,North of Ireland international plowing match at •Mullusk, just outside of Belfast. It was a dirty day but there were a fair number of spectators on hand. Jim Eccles came eighth in a class of 38 which. included six plowmen from See - den. They used Irish plows and the Irish people said Jim did ex- ceptionally xceptionally well. I thought so too for Jim only had one day's prac- tice on the high cut plow. As I said before, we spent a week in Ireland and It was the busiest week I've ever spent. We were .taken everywhere and only one night did I manage to get to bed before 2 a.m, Irish hospitality defies description. It's overwhelm- ing. On one occasion I Must have had six cups of: tea within leas than two hours, -and that's a re- cord for the. Another enperience that stands out in my mind was meeting Jim Keynsham, assistant to the mini- ster of agriculture for Ulster.
