The estates visited were Jervaulx Abbey, Bolton Abbey, 

 Washburn Valley Catchment Area, Studley Royal and Fountains 

 Abbey. Each of these provided objects of great historical and 

 architectural interest in addition to its attraction from an arbori- 

 cultural and silvicultural point of view, and the scenery passed 

 through gave ample compensation for the long journeys by 

 motor charabanc. Astonishment was frequently expressed at 

 the splendid appearance of wheat, oats, barley, and other crops. 

 The wheat attracted particular attention by its regularity and 

 fine deep red colour, and as there was much speculation as to 

 its identity, it may be stated here that in this part of Yorkshire 

 Webb's Standard Red is the general favourite, and is much liked 

 by millers for its good milling qualities. Many other varieties 

 have found favour the last year or two, including Webb's 

 Universal, Little Joss, Swedish Iron. 



Jervaulx Abbey Estate. 



The first day's excursion was to the Jervaulx Abbey Estate, 

 owned by Mr W. L. Christie. As it is a journey of some 

 45 miles by road from Leeds an early start was necessary. 

 Members were roused at 6 a.m. to find a dark sky and heavy 

 rain falling, and it was still raining at 7.15 when, in accordance 

 with the programme, the party set out in two motor charabancs.
