— CANADIAN CANADIAN PLOWING TEAM
Il9. C. Barele
W. C, Barrie, Galt, Ont., a past president of the Ontario
Piawinen's Association and manager of the Canadian plowing
team at the third annual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent
Name on-t'he-spot reports of his trip with team 'members, Jae Tran
Claremont, Ont,, and Ivan McLaughlin; Stouffrrille, Ont. Here is
the fifth of has reports:
UPPSAL A, SWEDEN — Even ionahip was over, we still had a
though the world plowing champ- great deal to look forward to, for.
-- now we were to tour Sweden—a
country . in which there is sone -
Charles Tudor thing fascinatirig to see almost ev
erywhere you go.
On the Sunday afternoon fall-
owing the Saturday night plowing
banquet, our party joined the oth-
er visitors on a bus trip to some
of the historical places in: old Up-
psala, (By "our party" I mean
Ivan McLaughlin, who came sec-
ond in: the world match; Joe Tran,
who placed fourth; plus Mrs. Ma -
Laughlin and Mrs. Barrie and my-
self.) 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 six.:
the centuries. •
Sacrifices
In those. days the people made
great saerifices to the gods. When
a king died, his ship would be
drawn up to the site of one of
these mounds by 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, hes a
library with some rare documents
on exhibit, including a letter writ-
ten •1?y Eric XIV of Sweden pro -
Posing marriage to Elizabeth r of
England. When she refused 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 we called to see a modern
grain dryer owned and operated
by the Swedish Farmers' Co-op-
erative. Six hugh silos: over 100
feet high were used for storage;
In one hour the moisture content
would be reduced to 15 percent,
dry enough for winter storage.
Golden Coaches
Next we saw a modern poultry
farm with 6,000 white leghorns, a
lovely park where wild birds and
animals lived in a more or less
natural state, and' the Stockholm
museum, where we saw eight lar-
ge golden coaches used on state
y,e occasions by the royal family.
Next morning we boarded 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 register-
ed seed. There are 200 stations
in the country for the production
of such seed and the standard is
very high.
Drawbridge, Moat
The next day we visited a Swed-
ish 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 wat-
er, spanned by a drawbridge.
We also saw through Sweden's
largest and most modern dairy,
which is owned 90 percent by
farmers. Milk from 5,000 farms
was handled here and went on
Marks
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
The burial service for Charles
Tudor Marks was held at his late
residence in Stanley Township on

his farm in Stanley Township (sit-
uated on the road, which was then

was done automatically and the
place was spotlessly clean; Sev-

staffed with people in white uni-
forms. Ninety people are employ-
ed there and earn one has a med.

no employee works in clothes

In the attar/Wort we had tix
pleasure of "going through the
factory of Thermeniusvolters in
Hallsburg, where many kinds of
farm implements are manufactur-
ed. Tile skilled workmen in the
big plant gave us an insight into
the amount of labour and mater-
ial, that
aterial,that is entailed, in the produc-
tion of farm machinery.
Modern, Farms
We visited two Iarge adjoining
farms of 500 acres each. The
farm of Carl Neilson is equipped
to feed a large herd of cattle.
The other one is owned by Gus-
tav Willman, The only animal
on his farm is a dog. His farm
produces a large amount ' of grain
which is sold for seed. His stor-
age bins, grain dryers and seed -
cleaning ' Plant cost his $50,000.
Both fauns were well equipped
with machinery. Each :had ' a
swirnnririg pool and lovely garden.
The houses were large Mr. Wille.
man's was like a museum with its
array of guns, swords, battle ax-
es .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 hauling trees
with tractors, and taking them
away on trucks.
One thing we noticed that
would probably account for Swed:
en's fe}y forest fires as compared
to Canada s ig, , that the ground
was*Canada's
with a thick moss
which wasgreen, and damp, des-
pite the dry weather..
Conserve. Forests
Later that day we had the 'op-
Portant,, of seeing trough the

servation,
On our way to Gothenburg, we
visited an, average. Swedish' farm
which compared favourably with
the average Canadian home, aL-
though the barns are smaller' and
have no basement. The house had
all the =ACM ern" conveniences and
was quite homelike.
On Sunday morning the air was
crisp and the sons shone brightly,
and a number of us English • speak-
ing people and three from Holland
attended the morning service cone
ducted in English irn' St. ,Andrew's
Anglican church in Gothenburg,
Nautical Scene
In the evening, a farewell party
was held lit an exclusive restaur-
ant situated on a cliff overlooking
the harbour, For miles up and
dawn the river we could see ships
anchored, tied' up to the docks,
and many in ,dry dock for repairs.
At a meeting of the WPO Gov-
erning ' Board, the European dir-
ectors 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 changed
to favor the work done by Europ-
ean plows. We contended that go
plow should be debarred, and that
the score card referred to the
plowing and not to the plows. Al-
though 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 Assoc-
iation in New Zealand asking per-
mission to send a plowman to the
fourth World Match in England
next year, :.
