CANADIAN PACIFIC BEILFAST â€" Now we are in Ire- land and the weather continues to be bad â€" so bad that it begini to seem we'll have to return to Canada without taking part in any plowing matches over here- It's a jrreat dis- appointment to all of us, but the conditions have been extreme and the matches are postponed. In my last letter we were in Glasgow, just about to leave Scot- land. We took an afternon train for Carlisle, where we stopped over- night at the Crown and Mitre Hotel. Next mominj: we were driven the 35 miles to Workington, which is a mining town in Cumberland and it was there where we were to have iompeted in our first plowing match- We were received by Mayor R. Townsley and were his guests at a civic luncheon. The afternoon had l>een E*t aside for plowing practice in preparation for the match next day, but due to the heavy snow and cold and their effect on the ground, the match was postponed for two weeks. This was a disappointment to the town, too, because the people seemed very in- terested in us and had made many careful arrangements. As an ex- ample, the education officer had planned to bring 600 schoolboys to see us compete- The champion plow- man of Devon, who has won 43 cups had intended to enter the matches. TRIPS IN CUMBERLAND However, the postponement gave us a little break and most of our boys took the chance to catch up on their sleep before a Rotary dinner that night. Next morning we were taken for a l>eautiful drive through the Cum- berland mountains. Our first stop was at the very fine farm home of Mr. Joseph Musgrave at Tarnbank. After viewing his herd of Holsteins and other stock we were received in his home by his wife and family â€" another example of the British hos- pitality we received everywhere- We had lunch at Keswick, a very poiiular resort in the summer, and HYDRO USERS ,^. • The wintertime power shortage in Southern Ontario has been relieved with the coming of spring and the longer hours of daylight. In the winter months the shorter and darker days create a maximum demand on your Hydro system. Conditions in this winter season are such that Hydro plants are loaded to the point where it becomes necessary to asit for the co-operation of all Hydro users in saving eloctricity by every possible voluntary means. In the spring and summer season the urgency for conservation is not so great as in the fall and winter. The voluntary saving of electricity in homes, offices, theatres, stores, and in industry, greatly relieves this condition. Your response was very helpful. To those who so willingly co-operated during this emergency period, Hydro says, "Thank You." In many localities Hydro stations and lines are overloaded because of the delay in obtaining neces- sary new equipment. Therefore, do not waste •lectricityâ€" use Hydro wisefy of all Umm$, TBI HTDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION Or ONTARIO r?Wms*"'"""'« th«n we drove a f<3w ir.iles farther bo a sheep farm in the hills. Here the owner, a Mr. Relph, gave us a demonstration o^ sheep dogs at yroA that was simply amazing. The three dogs were directed by their master's whdstle, each by a n«^ of its own, and rounded up the sheep with re- markable intelligence Snd sikill. This was one of the most ^joyable trips of our entire tour so far. In the evening we were guests of the Woricington and District Agri- cultural Society at their annual din- ner. Thiis was to have been the plowmen's banquet at which prizes would( have been presents'' if th" match had not been postponed. Pro- posing a toast, J. Lancaster, the chairman said: VThere never was a time when agriculture was quite so necessary in England. This is an industry that has been neglected in the past. N<iw if we are to survive, we must get back to the land." Mr. Lancaster also declared that plowing matches beb\veen one Dom- inion and another are an activity that wil help to bring the countries of the Empire closer together. "Canada came in with us right at the beginning of two World Wars," he said. "We have stood side by side to fight a military enemy- Now wjla are prepiared to continue side by side to fight what is an even greater enemy, the world food short- age." Next morning we visited another farm near Workington where we saw a large herd of grade milking Shorthorns. They had nearly 300 head, young and old, with over 100 miiking. The farm home and othei buildings were built of stone and the house and barn were attached, but the arrangements struck us as inconvenient and making a lot of extra work. That night we took the boat for iichuui, where we arrived the next morning, after a smooth crossing of the Irish Channel. We were met at the wharf by James Ruddock, sec- retaiy-trcasuror of the \orth Ire- land Plowimen's Association and a iiiMnber of the directors. BAD WEATHER IN IREL.\Nn irehind is sharing England's bad vveather and conditions are very un- fayoraible for plowing. Because of the fuel shortage there is no heat in our hotel rooms and we aren't very comfortable. But the lack ot heat is being made up in kind hos- pitality, for nowhere in our tour have we received a warmer welcome :"rom the people. On our first day in Belfast, wt were shown through the buildinu's and park of the Agricultural A?>-=ociulion. These grounds were used as a mili- tary camp during the war and now require some extensive repairs. This is the headquarters for livestock sales in Northern Ireland, like the Perth Sales we saw in Scotland, rhoy have a very fine buildinir which IS used for hockey in the winter with an ice surface of 220xl«0 feet. By Monday morning it was quite r^vident that the plowing match set for the following Wednesday could not take place because of the frost and snow and it was 'postponed -to the end of the week. We were taken to Belfast ("ity Hall, where we were presented to I he Lord Mayor, Mr, Neill- Aft'v touring the building with its beauti- ful staiway of Italian marble, we returned to our hotel.' where we were Tuests of the Hon. Mr. Moore. â- "•: istov of Agriculture of Northern Ireland, at luncheon. After a few ^hort speeches, each member of the party was presented with a shille- lagh' a-tick as a souvenir of Ireland, In the evening we were guests of the Farmers' Union of Saint Field at their annual social. The Fanv ei's' Union of Great Britain is sim- ilar to the Federation of Agriculture in Canada. Each country and each county has its own organization like our provincial and county organiza- tions at home- It is quite evident they are doing good work, as the farmers in Britain are receiving much better prices for their produce than we are in Ontario, YOUNG (FARMERS ENTERTAIN The Young Farmers' Union is very active. Under the direction of Mr. Kii^kpatrick, who is chief organizer tor Northern Ireland, over 80 groups have been fonned. We have been invited to be the guests of the Young Farmers' at meetings in the next few evening.s, A finer bunch of young petp.e would be hard to lini â- :; any country.
