EDINBURGH.—Our tour of the Scottish' farms around Edinburgh has been one of the most profit- able experiences of our trip so far, We have had several days in this area before proceeding to 'Glasgow and then to Ireland. We are very favorably impres- ed with the general standard of agriculture in Britain. However, it must be admitted that both in England and Scotland the farms we have visited are the beat in each district and perhaps not en- tirely typical. One of the, first stops on our route was a 200 -acre truck garden- ing farm. The seasons here are ahead of ours and we noticed let- tuce and some other vegetables beginning to peep through the soil. At least 25 varieties of vegetation are grown on this farm, which during the war years provided the government with 5,000 tons of vegetables annually. The owner, Mr. R. L. Scarlett, told us that he employed 60 men the year around and in the growing and harvesting season often hired an additional number of men and women. The women in this country are just as active in the fields as the men. After watching them at work we wondered If we might suggest something similar for Canadian women! Potato Growing Potatoes were the main crop on another farm we visited. Potato growing is quite a thriving indvs try in many sections of the land and we found the procedure most interesting.

The potatoes. are them planted by hand and great care is, ttflter#•, not to break off the sprouts which, the farmers claim, help the potateree to mature several week earlier than if planted without sproutingg. The potatto crop is sold in the field, the buyer doing his own har- vesting and supplying his own men who are housed by the owner of the ,farm its dwellings that must measure up to the government's regulations on housing. At the Ross farm where Are Mire cattle are bred in large num- bers, we were shown a 'herd of 130 milking cows and young stock, totalling ' in all 300 head. The stables, as in other places we in- spected, are adjoining the house and are kept, as clean and neat as the house itself. These stables were the most modern of any we saw, with plenty of light and venti- lation. The milking is. done by machine, bottled on the farm and then tak- en to the city in the farm's own trucks. Mr, Ross keeps the large herd mainly for milk production and very few head are sold for breeding purposes. Livestock The raising and breeding of cat- tle is still one of the most import- ant industries in Scotland'.. We visited several stock farms, in- cluding the F. MacGil•Iivrary Farm at East Lothian. Mr. MacGillivray, one of the most noted Shorthorn breeders of Scotland, is a great believer in fresh air. Overhead ventilators in the stables provide a plentiful supply for 'the animals without causing a draught. Many of the best cattle on the farms we inspected were being pre- pared for the great Perth -Aberdeen Angus sale, It was a treat to see these well-fed animals, some of whom were so fat they were bare- ly able to navigate. Scarcity of Commercial Feeds Securing enough commercial feeds is quite a headache for the Scottish farmers because all such feeds are rationed by the govern- ment, Dairy farmers, are on the preferred list, while •beef men must be content with second class- ification. One of the beef farm- ers we mettold us that he had been unable to secure spfficient rationed feeds but solved his prob- lem by working out a feed mixture of grain, roots, potatoes, etc,. which he claimed is giving him as good or better results with his herd than can be obtained by commer- cial feeds and at less cost. The beef farmers are unhappy about the feed situation and' argtt- that the people need beef as well as milk. After living on British food for several weeks now we are inclined to agree with them. We are all beginning to long for a good,. Canadian roast despite the fact that the substitutes, mainly fish and poultry, are good and are not on the ration list. There is also a form of sausage which has become somewhat of a national dish made, I am told, mostly ('f 1 bread crumbs with little or. no meat in it. A Plowman in Distress We had an experience at one of the stock farms which seems funny to us now, but certainly was not amusing at the time, particularly to Rhys Becher. • While we were looking over a herd, Rhys linger- ed behind in a pen of four young butte. The herdsmen, thinking all were out, closed the door and bolt- ed it. A few seconds later we heard loud shouts for help and we all rushed back to discover thet va II A thirteenth of the earth's crust is aluminum. It is found in mountains and gems, in vegetables and clay, in meat and water — practically everywhere. Long ago the Romans knew it as a salt. They called it "olumen" and used it as a medicine or for dyeing cloth. Until the middle 1800's, the metal aluminum was rare. and more costly than gold. Napoleon III had his own personal tableware made of it. Modern science found a way to make it cheaper. That is why, today, everybody can buy useful and lasting articles made of aluminum. In Canada we have none of the high-grade aluminum ore called "bauxite". Canadians bring it in by shipload from British Guiana — a voyage of 3000 miles. Northeastern Canada has the world's largest aluminum smelter. Alcan built it there, at Arvida. This site was chosen because it is close to both a port for ocean ships bringing bauxite and an abundant source of hydro -electric power. Unfit Alcan harnessed this water power, it ran to waste. Smelting aluminum needs vast supplies of power. The electricity required to produce one fon of aluminum would light your house for fifteen\years. More than 15,000 people operate this Cont*dian industry. They earn more than 4hirty-five million dollars a year. These earnings flow across Canada Alcan (Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd.) makes aluminum ingots. More than 1000 inde- pendent manufacturers across Canada shape aluminum into light, strong, non -rusting arti- des for your use. The variety grows daily. In addition to supplying these firms, Alcan sells about 85% of its ingots to other countries. This alu- minum is now Canada's sixth largest export, a source of much needed money from abroad. because Alcan does market so much abroad, it is able to make aluminum in such large quantities that, lin ingot form, it can be purchased more cheaply in Canada than, anywhere else in the world.

(The Winnipeg Fee Press) In a foreign policy adereett' i?►. the House of Commons• at West- minster on November 1t1, Mr, Churchill revealed the existent@• of a letter written by himyself tc Mr. Stalin on April 29, 1945. The European war was at an end, or virtually so. .Mr. Churchill was prime minister of the United Kingdom, The letter is' historic for two reasons. It reveals two facts of deepest significance: First, the depth and the sincerity of the de- sire of Mr. Churchill and the Brit« ish people to co-operate fully with Russia in the years following vic- tory and, second, a sure knowledge on Mr• Churchill's part of the con- sequences of failure to co-operate. Writing in 1945, Mr. Churchill saw into the future with a clarity we all can now appreciate Earnest Desire The letter, as read by Mr. Chur- chill, is reported in The Times, as follows: Mr. Churchill said that it had always been his earnest de- sire that we should not abandon the thought of a peaceful settle- ment with Russia. It was not 'h.is fault since he had left office, nor was it the fault of the Govern- ment, that this friendly, atmos- phere had not been maintained, or that a happy, amicable settlement had not been reached. He wished to quote from a private personal communication which he had sent to Mr. Stalin on April 29, 1945. In this letter he wrote: "Side by side with our strong .sentiment for the rights of Poland. which I believe is shared' in at least as strong a degree through- out the 'United States, there has grown up throughout the English- speaking world a very warm, deep desire to be friends on equal and. honorable 'terms with the mighty Russian. Soviet Republic. and to work with vou, making allowances for our different systems and tt'nurhr and government in long and bright years for all the world, which. we three Powers alone can mike, together. 1, who in my years of great responsibility, have work- ed faithfully for this unity, will certainly continue to do so with every moans in my power, and. in particular, I ran, assure you that in (neat Br'tain would not work for. or tolerate:, a Polish Govern pent unfriendly to Russia.. Neither could we recognize a Polish Gov- ernment that did not truly corres- pond to the description in our joint declaration at. Yalta, with Prow.— regard for the rights of the individual as we understand these matters in the western world." "With regard to Greece, Mr. Churchill went, on, he had said: "in Greece we seek nothing but her friendship, which is of long duration. and desire only her in- dependence and integrity, but we have no intention to try to decide whether she is to be a monarchy or a republic. Our only policy is to restore matters to the normal as quickly as possible. and to hold' fair and free elections. I hope with- in the next four or five months,. These elections will decide the re- gime and later the constitution. The will of the people expressed under conditions of freedom and universal franchise must prevail, That is our root principle. If the Greeks were to decide for a repub- lic it would not affect our relations with them. We will use our influ- trouble. Then we saw Rhys cor- nered by four beautiful young bulls, who apparently were mak- ing up their mind's just how and where they should begin their at- tack. Rhys later claimed that he was not scared, but he didn't look exactly at his ease when the herdsmen n.:ne to his rescue. Visit To a 2,000 -Acre Farm Possibly the most interesting farm, on our journey of the Edin- burgh area was the 2,000 -acre St. Cuthbert's Co -Operative Society. farm. A herd of 150 Ayrshire milking 'cows are kept on the farm and the milk is handled, in a most sci- entific manner. The mincing room os' parlor as it is called. consists of individual stalls for each cow. While the milking machine is in operation, the cow receives her ra- tion of grain or commercial feed. The milk is weighed and• then sent to the cooler and bottling machine after which it is ready for the market. In addition to the milking cows, 350 feeding..e.attle are kept to sup- ply the company's meat shops. Most of the feed for the cattle is grown on the farm. There are al- so 1.000 registered pigs, 150 of which are breeding sows of the large Chester White breed. The Society has a world-wide market for all pigs bred for breeding pur- poses. The cattle and pigs are housed in the most modern and elaborate- ly finished. building. In addition to our tour of Scot- tish farms, we also visited many places of historical interest, but space doesn't permit me to tell you about them now. In my next Tet- ter, which will be written from Ireland. I'll describe our sight- seeing tours of two famous Scot- tish cities—Edinburgh and• Glas- gow. r -w y v v 1 HIGHESTCASH PRICES for .1 'DEAD STOCK' HORSES, $4.00 each CATTLE, $4.00 each `HOGS, $1.00 per cwt.' 0.

'•Thereis not mueh comtort' ln looking into a future where you and the countries you dominate, plus the Communist parties in many other States, are all drawn up on one side, and those who ral- ly to •the English-speaking nations with their associates and domin- ions are on the other. It is quite obvious that their quarrel would, tear the world to pieces, and all of us leading men on either ,side, who had anything to do with that would be ashamed before history. Even embarking on long periods of suspicion, of abuse and counter - abuse, and of opposing policies, would be a disaster, tampering great development of world • pros- perity for the masses, which are attainable only by our trinity. ' "I hope there is no word or phrase in this outpouring of my heart to you which unwittingly gives offence. If there is let me know. But I do not, I beg of you, my friend Stalin, .under -rate the divergences which are opening up about matters which you may think small but which are syme bolic of the way the English- speaking democracies look at life." • Renovating Restaurant Mr. Frank Gong, proprietor of the Huron Grill, is renovating the interior of the restaurant.
