The hundred British farmers who are paying a return visit

to South Africa are having a busy time of feasting and sight-seeing. I envy them -their tour through Cape Province and especially their stay in the Cape Peninsula, One of the most beautiful. parts of the British Empire. The visitors have been inspecting the wine-making and packing of table grapes for the British market. How sad that they only saw the ruins of Groot Constantia, the homestead of the Government wine farm which was burnt down last December. I hope that it may be possible to arrange similar 'visits .of British farmers to the other. Dominions and to the United States. So far as America is concerned we have had visits of journalists, professors, doctors, advertising men, clergy and lawyets. - Why not a visit of American farmers ?
