LONDON --'(Delayed i --- I•t is quite
definite now that our men are to return
to Canada without taking part in a
single plowing match over here., It'13
.not for want of trying, but the weather
has been impossible and ;lost matches:

®1'e • had sonic unexpe('ted free tii>iie
in Belfast wbie'df we used to good ad -
ventage. in the evenings we were
guests of different groups of young
Ianners and eaelt day we saw sou e -i
thing of ,particular interest: -
lin tIhe Tuesday we were shown
through the I' irliainent buildings and
• spent an, hour in the gallery while the
House was in session. Wednesday two
members of our party were interviewed
en the B.B.C'.,and in the afternoon we
attempted -to plow but the soil was
too frosty.
Thursday we were driven to the
University. ;Farre . "at Hillsborough,
where we saw a good herd of milking
Shorthorns and a fine - lot of • large'
Yobkshire hogs. This farm is sittiilar
to the -Ontario Agricultural College and
has ,the most modern stables we have
sten in Britain. After lunch we
motored to Dungannon, where we
visited the farm of Stel)henson. & Son
.Ltd., tnanufacturers•eof .linen goods.
They are building up a very tine herd
of Ayrshire tattle and lrre preparing
for a modern stable. !1l1ey are also
ruing extensively into poultry. specilll-
izin; in. Rhode Island Reds and light
Susses.
Belfast Linen Mills
Friday we were shown through the
linen Itlills of William Ewart, & Sons
of Belfast. This mill was badly dam-
aged in the blitz and is' now being re-
paired. Part of the factory was aper-
ating and we, saw tlie flax processed :t
MITE GODERIOli SIGNAL-8T'AR
from the rays° tatate to thu„ linished
product.
Saturday noon we were .the guests
of the Plowmen's Association along
with the0Scut.tish and Eliglish eoutt#st-
aaats. .L Ztell of us was presented with
a half-dozen linen 1taz1dkerclaiofe, just
one •calor(: example of the wuriu Welcome
anti kind hospitality we received every-
where. ,
Tutt evening we t iok the, boat to
Scotland slid we spent the nest few
days visiting. farms and friends alung
the western coast. I left the. party to
go to Ayr and Glasgow to see soon:
relatives and islet the buys in Tuesday
night when we again took tete boat fur
Belfast. 1E3ut iu Ireland we .found
that, owing to the continued cold and
,the' faet that no milder weather wag
expected the match could not be held.
The local eununittee had gone to no
end .uf trouble and expense, but nothing
could be duffle.
This had tl lunch more serious mean-
ing than just the aneellatiou of our
cun.tests. Uost - of the plowing - in
Britiiiu is conducted during 'the winter
and everywhere the farmers are becotu-
ing worried. Because of so much lost
time they are behind in their work.
N.ernially many -of them would be seed-
ing 111 the last week in February, but,
now there still is a lot of plowing to
be done.
, We left Belfast for the last. time on
Friday- night, bound for Liverpool'. The
sett was very cal% as it was on our
other crossings, and we were very com-
fortable on the Ulster Prince.
We docked on Saturday morning and
George, Floyd and Austin went on to
Lonndon ; Fred went to visit relatives
in Stockton; and I :pent a few days
in Shropshire. Alex. ha(1 remained in
Belfast to cress over to Glasgow ,the
following day. -

shire 1 paid unscheduled visits to sev-
eral terms,, among them that of Mr.
I- rank 11•ard of C'rowgreaves, Bridg-
north., who visited Canada a year and
a -half ago with a British delegation.
Mr.. Ward farmed 1,000 acres in war-
time b_ut has since reduced his holdings

The early potatoes are f()llowed with
kale, which makes an excellent feed
for the lambs in the late fall anti
.winter. A siiiiiir section is fenced off
• each day, and this is supplemented by
a small grain ration, ::Al)utzt 1,000.
lambs are fed annually, and these are

c
well. Two or three years ago he
-bought 120 heifer calves just off their I

through the winter and bred at the age
of fourteen to fifteen months. The (
following year the calves rare with their
clams -until October, when they were
weaned and the heifer calves were
kept for breeding. To maintain the
number at 120 some had to be bough.
The mothers were put in- sheds after
the weaning, • and were fed for beef,
being marketed still ; as heifers and
still under three years, of age. These
bring the till price, , which at present
is at 1. cents per pound. •
This Mr. Ward .also 'grows sugar
beets and potatoes; about 120 acres of
each. The sugar beets are delivered
direct to the factory twelve niiles,away.
The potatoes are all sprouted in trays,
irk a glass house, and are planted by
hand. Because of so much .rain the
seed is planted whole. (This looked
very wasteful to tyre, as some, were quite
large.) The pofatdes in this section of 3

a simple solution. They serve one
