Lush Meadows Amaze
Trinidad Agricuiturist
The lush meadows eof the north temperate zone are quite amazing to one accustomed to the coarse vegetation normal in the tropics, Scott ‘Tulloch, a resident of Trinidad fold Mari- time cattlemes Saturday.
Mr. Tulloch, a native of In-
verness, Scotland, has resided on the South Atlantic Island for the past 22 years. He attended the Maritime Holstein field day held at Falconwood farm as @ guest of his friend, “Bill” Mac- Leod of Halifax, a former, editor of the Maritime f now employed with the Nova Scotia department of agriculture.
In Trinidad, Mr, Tul'och is a top official with Tate and Lyle, a British firm with world-wide interests in sugar. In Trinidad alone the company employs 12,- 000 native workers on its 30,000 acre plantation that last year produced 80,000 tons of raw su- gar, he said.
HAUL BY BUFFALO .. .. .. ..
Most haulage was done by wa- ter buffalo,:but milk for the non- native members of the staff was supplied from a smal herd of pure-bred Holsteins which the
consisted chiefly of sugar cane leaves and concentrates, the Trinidad official remarked.
Mr. Tulloch, just commencing an extended leave of absence, and his wife, who is a native of Nova Scotia, will leave soon for Scotland to visit, their child- ren who are at school there.

The board of directors of the publicly - owned corporation re- stored the program last week in the wake of some 37 resignations by employees—mostly producers —in the CBC’s talks and public affairs department and after a barrage of public criticism over ditching of the commentary.
