Editor‘s Note: William Bulâ€" lick of Camlachie, Ont., past president of Ontario Plowâ€" men‘s Assn., and manager of ‘the Canadian plowing team at the second annual world frlowing match at Killarney, _ Ireland, recently returned to Canada with team members James Eccles of Brampton, Ont., and Robert Timbers of ~ Stouffville, Ont. This is his third and final report on the trip. Some of the most interesting and unusual things we saw on our trip to the plowing match were not in Ireland at ail, but in Scotâ€" land, which we toured before the match began. The most notable thing I reâ€" member about the Scottish counâ€" tryside was the way in which the thrifty Scots make use of every inch of land available. For example, on one car trip through the Loch Lomond area, in the Highlands, my two plowâ€" men, Jim and Bob, got out to talk to a man who, as it turned out, was planting trees high on the rocky hillside where no trees ever grew before. Under a govâ€" ernment scheme, these trees were to be left for a generation or more, and then log%led off to be made into lumber. He explained that the rig he was towing was a treeâ€"planting machine with a big disc that piles up what little soil there was in a ridge. The trees are planted in this narrow ridge of earth. He said they have so much rain there that the trees will grow on top of these furâ€" rows, with very little earth coverâ€" ing their roots. We could well believe what the man said about rainfall there, too, for it was midâ€"autumn and the fields still had acres and acres of uncut wheat standing in them. We were told later that the Scotâ€" tish farmers faced a tough winter ahead because the rain had preâ€" vented them from harvesting much of their crops. Another thing that amazed us about the Highlands was the way in which the farmers let their sheep roam away up in those mountains. As high as the eye could see through the mist, there were sheep grazing on the mounâ€" tain grass. Waterloo Branch.. Kitchener Branch "Every year it was the same. Presents to buy and cash at low cbb.

Riepert, Manager The Scottish farmer‘s sheep is just about as free as ang domestic animal can be, for few of the pasâ€" tures have fences, and it‘s a comâ€" mon experience for drivers to have to stor their cars and honk at a herd of sheep standing or lyâ€" ing unattended in the middle of the road. The sheep ranchers in Scotland use a system of marking their animals that is perhaps even betâ€" ter than the North American sysâ€" tem of branding cattle. They mark each sheep with a big patch of coloring across its back, just above the rump. Each owner has his own special color and thus can pick out his own sheep even from a considerable distance. Previâ€" ously this coloring was some kind of a tar compound which used to spoil the wool and consequently cut down the yield. But lately they have begun using a newlyâ€" developed coloring _ compound that will remain as long as it is needed but can be removed at the woolen mills. The crops in Scotland are pretâ€" ty much the same as in all other parts of the British Isles and Ireâ€" land, consisting of such items as wheat, barley, turnips and potaâ€" toes. And of course the Scots also grow that grain specialty of theirs â€"oatsâ€"which are not found in such quantity in other parts of the British Isles. Living standards on the average Scottish farm don‘t seem as high as our own, yet the average Scotâ€" tish farmer seems to live comfortâ€" ably enough, making use of moâ€" dern methods and equipment to a considerable extent. One interesting thing I found in Scotland, lhougfi, was that the farmer gets generous subsidies whenever his produce fails to bring what the government conâ€" siders a fair price. This is all done according to a grading sysâ€" tem; and, for example, if grade Scotland has a custom much the same as the one I learned about in Ireland and described in my last report, that of holding a "fair day" or market day at regular inâ€" tervals, so farmers can sell their livestock and produce direct to the public. *Â¥ ®. .
