(W. C. 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.

exercises to test peacetime defenc-
es, training of NATO fliers, a new

JOHN A. MELVILLE
MITCHELL.—John A. 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.

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

estimated at $200.—Wingham Ad-

large golden coaches used on state

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. There are 200 sta-
tions in the country for the pro-
duction of such, seed and the stan-
dard is very high.

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.
