Slemon | South Ontario Plowing Match At Brooklin on October 7 Farmers all over Ontario are ready- ing their tractors and teams for county and township plowing matches, The South Ontario match at Brook- lin, Oct. 7, will be held on the farm of Frank Batty and son, and the next day on the farm of Wilmott Shea, Manilla. Each of the county and township organizations are affiliated with the Ontario Plowmen's Association as branches. From these branches are selected the plowmen who will com- pete in the International Plowing Match to be held this year at Dundas, Wentworth county, Oct. 13 to 16. At this "International" as it is known, two champion plowmen will qualify to represent Canada in the 1960 world match to be held in Rome, Italy. Plowing matches have been; held in Ontario sinee 1830, but have never been so popular as they are today. Early records show that matches were organized by local agricultural socie- ties in conjunction with their fairs, but by 1910 interest had waned to the point where less than a dozen matches were held. Association Formed To revive interest, the Ontario Plowmen's Association was organized in 1911, and matches in various town- ships and counties became affiliated with the provincial organization. The first provincial match was held in 1913 on the property now occupied by Sunnybrook Hospital in North York Township. At that time there were 41 entries in horse plowing and one tractor as a curiosity. By 1926 interest had increased to the extent that the name "Interna- tional Plowing Match and Farm Ma- chinery Demonstration" was adopted. In recent years, entries have been as high as 1200, and visitors for the four days have numbered close to 100,000. The International is now rated as the largest outdoor agricultural event in Canada. The growing popularity of the event can be judged by comparing the match of 1920, held on the Ontario Govern- ment hospital farm at Hamilton, with the estimated attendance at Dundas next month. In 1920 there were 40 entries in horse plowing and 19 in Floyd Lashley, secretary- manager of the OPA, is confident thi: year will see more than 50 contest- ants in horse plowing and around 150 using tractors. In 1920, $1600 was offered in prizes as compared with $15,000 as at present. Kept Objectives "Despite this growth, the Interna- tional has kept its principal objectives in mind", said Mr. Lashley. "These are to encourage farmers, and parti- cularly juniors, to adjust and ue Scugog Reach and Teachers The Septtmber meeting of the Reach Port Perry, grandmother of the bride- and Scugog School Areas Teachers elect, poured tea.

He also dis- tributed some material from the De- partment of Lands and Forests and a very interesting booklet entitled His- toric Ontario, Mr. Becker demonstrated the new projector purchased for the schools by the Boards, The nomination committee, Mrs. Mc- Cully, Miss Sleep and Mrs. Taylor, brought in the following slate of of ficers for the 1959-1960 term--- plows to obtain the desired results; to arouse interest in and give demonstra- tions of the latest farm machinery; to foster rural skills and to add pride and presitge to farm practices." To give all 70 bramuches throughout the province an opportunity to parti- cipate, the match is rotated from year to year at the invitation of various counties. Under this system the county or- ganization which plays host provides a site for a "tented city," land for plowing and parking, tractors and teams for competitors, the necessary public - utilities and a prize award banquet for 1,000 guests. Close to 300 acres are required for plowing competitions and demonstra- tions, plus another 40 acres for the tented city. Because only a portion of each farm can be used, the project involves anywhere from 12 to 15 farms spread over approximately 2,000 acres. The tented city is the big attrac- tion for the general public. Here on display is the very latest equipment for the farm and home. Arranged in the form of four streets with front- age on each side of the street, it pro- vides one and a half miles of space for exhibitors and caterers. LL In spite of the fact that the tented city is out in the field, local authori- ties co-operate in providing water and toilet facilities, telephone and tele- graph services are available as well as many other conveniences for the comfort and enjoyment of the contest- ants nd public alike. "During recent years the prize list has heen greatly revised and more at- tention has been given to classes for juniors," Mr, Lashley said. troduction of the inter - secondary school class has proved popular. This" gives teachers in agriculture an op- portunity to work with students in- terested in the use of farm machin- ery, and the plowing match serves as an achievement day for those wishing to learn more about the operation of the plow. Two students are chosen from each school and awards are made on a team basis. "The inter-county competition has been a popular feature of the Inter- national for many years," said Lashley. "It is open to a team of two junior farmers under 21 in each coun- ty. ' These are chosen by the agricul: tural representative and here again the The top prize is a trip across Canada. A new class for Jrs. has recently been award is on a team basis. added and is open to the best junior plowmen at each of the local branch matches.
