Is the Canada Teimperence Act
any ..more of a farce in Grand

Liquor -Control Act be any less

The next day we were up early
and started out -from the hotel
at 8.30. We went first to visit
the co-operative 'flower auction
at Aalsmeer, Which I. would
think, is 'the largest of its kind
in the world. The cut flowers
sold there ere shipped not only
to the continent and the United
Kingdom but to the United Stat-
es and Canada. They are shipped
by air and bhe flowers sold here
one morning are in the U.S. and
Canada the next day. I might
mention That -the flowers are
brought to' the auction by boat
for canals run alongside every
hothouse and garden.
We then went north and had
lunch at Hoorn. While tbere,we
watched i reisan cattle being
loaded for shipment to France.
The exporting of cattle, which
was knocked out by'the war, is
now pretty well beck in full
swing and is important business.
Later we visited a farm of 8n
cores where 80 head of Hol's'teins
are maitvtained. While some feed
for these' cattle is bought outside
most of the forage and silage and
hay is grown - on the farm, we
were told.
Atter inspecting bhe farm, we
drove north to Leeuwarden to
spend the night. In doing so we
crossed over en 18 -smile , dyke
which divides Yssel Lake frons
the North Sea. It is a remark-
able piece of esigineering.
Near this. town I called upon
the brother of a man who with
his family migrated to our farm
three years ago. There was much
to tell him about how his broth-
er has flared in the land of his
adoption and much to hear for
retelling when I return. But
