inter national and world flowing match es down near cobourg weather conditions were ideal we had excellent company to and fro in the persons of allan dixon and ted harrop met a tremendous number of halton friends and also many others from other sections of the province all in all it was a most enjoyable day one could write columns on the tented city as usual there was a tremendous display of everything that was new and modern in farjn machinery our interest was first attracted by the eleven flags of as many world countries flying at headquarters so after making a few inquiries re the location ofthe various classes ofl we started for the field where the world competition was about to start fortunately we-ran- across our good provincial member stan ley hall who for a number of years hflabeenadirector of the ontario plowmens association- inasmuch as his official duties at the time were taking him out to the world class we drove out in state and arrived just tn time to see the 22 iplowmen from the 1 1 competing countries making their start the majority of the competing plowmen had brought their tractor plows from their respective native coun tries in some cases they had their own native tractors as well it was indeed thrilling to see the start on each side of the 22 tractors were huge cards bearing the name of the competing country incidentally george swan of mil ton wastlie official sign writer at the match and everywhere was i evidence ofhls skilir it wasa no handling class with the exception that the competing plowmen were permitted to tramp or handle their

very slow at the start however once they got their scratches adjusted to their satis faction they were away soil con ditions were ideal in fact in all of the classes we visited the same held true frankly we were ra ther disappointed in the quality of the plowing by many of the com petitors from the competing coun tries according to our canadian standards of match plowing many of the ridges did not compare fav orably with the quality of the work we see on our halton county farms as we drive up and down the various concessions a panel of judges one from each of the competing countries eleven

missed the 10s2 international we have never be fore seen the average quality of the work so high our own halton boys barry arther and arnold 4 were in there fighting all the way they were a real credit to the county of halton and their respective coaches harold picket and thomas howden however we do think wc have seen them do bet ter work as a matter of fact they most assuredly did on the pre vious wednesday at the internat ional when in u strong class open to plow boys under 18 years barry placed second and arnold third however to return to the intcr- county class the judges award went in
