siderable give and take to reach common ground for an equitable international competition- It has been a source pleas ure to us to find an increasing interest in plowing matches wherever we have been In Britain there are now active plowmens associations and as at home the officers are among the best farmers in the community The Cornish countryside is dif ferent from anything we had seen before The

bank of the Holland River This mill was built prior to the Rebellion of by Israel Lundy and was later en larged and improved by his son In for the first time this well remembered landmark passed into changed ownership Peter Kitto had purchased the property In March it was destroy ed by fire Nothing of the old mill now remains except a few bolts and the wheel pit A piece of the ancient dam still is to be seen and the house now occu pied by Mr Fred Williams and his family is the original house The mill pond has disap peared and the ancient road was closed at about the time the canal was put

already know Eugene placed first in his class hut dont think told you that Norman was awarded fourth place in competition against nine English champions Ho plowed a pood hand which on workmanship should have given him third not second place However the judges felt that the type of furrow did not permit to place him any higher The work of both boys was much admired for its uni formity and straight ness and overheard several farmers com menting on the fact that our plowing seems more practicable Although the fierce Atlantic gates had been pounding the Cornish coast less than hours before the weather at the time of the match was like an early May day at home Apart from a damp on top soil conditions were Ideal More than were present about the attendance we would expect at a large county match in Ont ario Wo had never seen more at tractive plowing than that done by these experts with narrow ex hibition type plows The turn- wrest typo was of particular in terest I bo boys There are two plows in each unit and when the end of a furrow is reached the team is turned hack the other horse takes the furrow and the opposite plow is let down This means no crown as we know If and no

He was a perfect example of the intense spirit of national ism that pervades Wales al though It has been a part of the British Isles for years CONQUERED The story goes while Mr Williams was in the army he took a conducted tour of Rome For a time ho listened to the guide wax eloquent on the suc cessful Roman invasion of Brit ain Finally he could stand it no longer Ho interrupted the monologue and said Look here old chap youre looking at one representing a group that was not conquered He have added by the Romans or any one else The Welsh take great pride that they never surrendered to the Romans but maintained guer rilla strongholds in the hills When in the century Ed ward I built hilltop castles to subjugate the Welsh even he was unable to conquer the regions- With all this nationalist feel ing there seems bo no sub stantial movement for homo rule though there is a Welsh Council and a Minister for Welsh Affairs In the House of Com mons Perhaps the altitude of the Welsh is best demonstrated by their insistence that the Cel tic tongue be taught in the lower school grades English is the official language but Welsh Is commonly spoken in the homes We decided pick a farm at random rather than take a guid ed tour of Welsh agriculture and so after a short drive we turned in to what appeared a homesteading While a farmhand was seeking the far mer a young woman dressed in
