Barrie, of Galt, Ont-, a: -past president of the On- tario Plowmen's Association and manager of the Canadian plowing team at the third ,an- nual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent hone on-the- ot-reports—of—his trip—with earn members, Joe Iran, of Claremont, Ont., and Ivan Mc- Laughlin, of Stouffville, . Ont. Ifere is the fifth of hisre- ports). UPPSS'ALA, SWEDEN. — Even though the world plowing cham- pionship was over, we still had a great deal to look forward to, for now we were to tour Sweden—a country in -which—there .is some- thing fascinating to. see almost ev- eryvthere you go. On the Sunday afternoon follow,- ing the Saturday night plowing banquet, our part joined the other visitors on a bus trip to some of the historic places in old Uppsala. (By "our party" I mean Ivan Mc- Laughlin, who came second in the world match; Joe Tran, who plac- ed fourth; plus Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Barrie and myself.) Near an old church we saw three mounds which are said to have been built by the slaves of Viking kings of 'the fifth and sixth cen- turies.

Melville, 79, who died in Riverside Nursing Home, Mitchell,"Sunday, spent his early year in Hibbert Township, but farmed most of his life in. Log- an Township,. near West Monkton. He was twice married, his first wife being Maude McNaught, of Logan, who died in 1954. His sec - and wife, Mrs. Janet M. Crone, of St. Marys, died last month. He was a member of the. Presbyterian. Church. Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. John Boyd, West Monkton; and two sisters, Mrs. William Mc- Naught, Mitchell, and Mrs. Geo. Wren, Hibbert. Resting at the Lockhart funeral home, Mitchell, private services were conducted Wednesday at 2 p.m. by the • Rev. George M. Lamont. Interment, was made in Harvey's cemetery, Logan Town- ship. we called to ,see a nubdern grain dryer owned and operated by the. Swedish Farmers' Co-operative. Six liugh silos over 100 feet high were used for storage. In one hour the moisture content would be reduced to 15 per cent:, dry enough -for winter—storage. Golden Coaches This order V ill be strictly enforc Sacrifices In those days the people made great sacrifices to the gods. When a king died, his ship would be drawn up to the site of one of these mounds • by his slaves, his body would be •placed in the ship, his slaves would be slaughtered and his ship would be burned. Over the ashes, this great mound was built. Our, next stop was at the Uni- versity in Uppsala, which has a library with some very rare docu- ments on exhibit, including a let- ter written by Eric- XIV of Swe- den proposing marriage to Eliza- beth I of England. When she re- fused him, he flew into a terrible rage and slaughtered 40 prisoners with his own sword. On Monday morning our tour of Sweden, sponsored by Esso of Sweden, left Uppsala for a two-day visit to Stockholm. On the way Car Rolls Down Enbankment John K. Dunbar. of London, and °an unnamed companion, escaped injury on Christmas Eve when the car in which they were riding toppled over the south embank- ment. of .the McKenzie bridge, on the northern outskirts of Wing - ham, and rolled over, landing up- right' on the ice on the Maitland River. Damage to the car was estimated at $200.—Wingham Ad- vance -Times. 'First Private: "The sergeant just cured my sore back." Second Private: "That's won- derful. How did he de. it?

Next morning weboarded a bus for Orebro. We visited a piggery, as it is called'in Sweden. Here pure bred Yorkshires are raised for sale to the farmers. This was a farm of. 500 acres and -100 acres were used for grazing. This farm is also used for cereal plant breed- ing and the production of regis- tered seed.

Drawbridge, Moat The next day we visited a Swe- dish military riding school where horses for the cavalry are train- ed. The school includes a huge castle which took , 200 years to build. It was surrounded by a moat with deep fast -running wa- ter, spanned by a drawbridge. We also saw through Sweden's. largest and most modern ;dairy, which is owned 90 per cent by farmers. Milk from 5,000 farms was handled here and went on the market as butter, cheese and bottled milk. Every operation was done' :automatically and the place was spotlessly clean. Several lab- oratories for testing were staffed with people in white uniforms. Ninety people are employed there and each one has a medical in- spection regularly. .Their clothes are disinfected, daily 'and no em- ployee works in clothes worn out- side. In the afternoon we had the plea- sure of going through the factory of Thermeniusvoken in Hallsburg, where many kinds of farm imple- ments are manufactured. The skilled workmen in the big plant gave us an insight into the amount of labor and material that is en- tailed in the production of farm machinery. Modern Farms We visited two large adjoining farms of 500 acres each. The farm of Carl Neilson is equipped to feed large lar a herd of cattle. The other one is owned by Gustav Wil- leman. The only animal on his farm is a doge' His farm produc- es a large amount of grain which is sold for seed. His.storage bins, grain dryers and seed cleaning plant cost him $50,000. Both farms were well equipped with machin- ery. Each had a swimming pool acid lovely • garden. The houses. were large. Mr. Willeman's was like a museum -With its array of guns, swords, battle axes and spears everywhere.. The next day Nels Anderson. chairman of the forestry board, led us into a large spruce and pine forest estate of his own, where several men were busy trimming the, lower branches from the trees, cutting down and haul- ing trees with tractors, and taking them away on trucks. One thing we noticed that would probably account for Sweden's few forest. fires as compared to Can- ada's is that the ground was cov- ered with a thick moss which was green and damp, despite the dry weather. Conserve Forests Later that day we had the op- portunity of seeing through the Grewons pulp and paper' plant, where 65,000 tons of paper are manufactured yearly. The com- pany owns one-half million acres of forest land and is practising the latest methods of forest con- servation. On our way to Gothenburg, we visited an average Swedish farm which compared favorably with the average Canadian home, although the barns are smaller and have no basement. The house had all the modern conveniences and was quite home -like. On Sunday morning the air was crisp and the sun shone brightly, and a number of us English-speak- ing people and three from Holland attended the morning service con- ducted in English in St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Gothenburg. `Nautical Scene In the evening, a farewell party< was held in an exclusive restaur, ant situated on a cliff overlooking the harbor. For miles up and down the river we could see ships anchored, tied up to the docks, and many in dry dock for repairs. At a meeting of the W.P.O. Gov- erning Board, the European direc- tors contended that if they were ever to have a chance of winning the contest. the plows used by Northern Ireland. Great- Britain and Canada would have to be de- barred and the score card chang- ed to favor the work done by the European lows? We contended that no plow should be debarred, and that the score card referred to the plowing and not to the plows, Although they were, in the majority, they saw the point• and agreed to leave the rules largely as they were. At this meeting a letter was read from the Plowmen's Association in New Zealand asking permission to send a plowman to the fourth World Match in England next year.
