laws. They also had laws regulat-
ing the use OF the seaweed which
is used for fertilizer. The land is
very rich and was parceled out
among great many people-five to
eight acres of arabic land was
counted fair estate. Every corn

cultivated. On Jersey for instance,
five course shift in crops was
followed-turnips, potatoes or par.
snip, wheat, hay and hay.
The climate Of these islands is
mild there is much fog and mois-
ture. An old book states: Grapes
and peaches come to perfection in
greenhouses without artificial heat.
Oranges and figs as well as apples
and pears can be reared in the
open. The tomato ripens as in
France, and the Chinese yam
grows successfully. The arbutus
ripens its fruit and the camellia
(gardenia to us) clothes itself
with blossoms as in more southern
chimes. Flowers indigenous end ex-
otto abound-notably the Guernsey
lily with it's rich red petals"
In another chapter we read
that "fuchias reached height Of

the dimensions of tree and on
Jersey there is a curious cabbage
that shoots up into a long woody
stalk Is or 20 feet long, fit for
walking sticks or palisades of

oak, the elm ard the beech"
Sounds rather like the Garden Of
Eden does it not? One can but pray
that these people can indeed 60

that they are freed once more, ami
that they will be found not to have
been too badly used.

The good natured criticism of a
suburban reader that "cow stories"
took up rather more space in The
Sentinel than seemed warranted
made us conscious that we do run
much news pertaining to Cows
but we feel that cattle are of
special interest to our readers.
The rich rolling hills and meadow
land the grazing cows the huge
dairy barns the trucks seen on
the roal loaded with milk for dist
ribution in town and city all prove
cows of vital interest to this Sec
ton.
Ralph Beall's advertisement,
which is on this page, inspired this
column, so please read it before
reading farther. 1t is rather odd
that so many of us know so little
about the Channel Islands of which
Guernsey is a part. Upon seeing
the ad. we at once recalled news
story written almost four years
ago which told how the occupants
of these Islands upon the sudden
collapse of France, just walked or
rode to the wharf and embarked
for England, many to enter the
services.
AS we recall the story, they
could take but small part of their
possessions with them for every
thing and everyone had to be taken
away by few boats. 1t was
rather dramatic story the move
came so suddenly that bread was
said to have been left to rise UNI
baked-fires in the stoves burned
themselves out. 1t was just as if
an unexpected order came to
Rockville or Gaithersburg resi-
dents to move at once taking only
the things they could carry, can
you imagine that? Can you i'm.
agine driving to the ocean in your
car with your family and the few
things you can pack in that car,
turning off the ignition, leaving il
parked there by the waterside and
sailing away from the land your
people had farmed for generations,
all the things for which you had
worked so hard-not knowing what
the future might hold?
Let's review little the history
Of the Channel Islands, or "Isles
Normandes," a number of small
islands politically attached to
England lying off the cost Of
France. The largest are Jersey,
Guernsey, Attorney, Sark and
Herm. The total area of the group
is rs square miles or about $4,000
acres
The Islands are said to have
been inhabited successfully by
Celts, Romans, Saxons, Goths and
Franks in early times; granted tc
the Duke of Normandy in the 10Th
century; united with the English
crown since the Norman Conquest;
frequently invaded by the French,
(notably in 1851 and 1871 who,
however failed to make subjects of
them. The inhabitants are of Nor
man stock; the official language is
French, though English is taught
in the schools; the country people
speak "a Norman-French dialect.
The dialect is said to vary on each
island.
Jersey is the largest, Pitt acres
it lies 16 miles off the coast of Nor
mandy. Guernsey has but 1850
acres. Jersey and Guernsey, (the
latter including Sark and Herr)
before being abandoned to the
Germans, were each administered
by a military acknowledgements
by the Crown. Both had
local copper coinage. Their cua-
toms and other taxes were very
low. There was no poverty and
riches were well distributed.
Each island had its own breed OF
cattle, distinguished by golden
