FIRST WORLD PLOWING MATCH TO BE IN ONTARIO The first world plowing match will be held in Canada next Oct- ober, in conjunction with the Ont- ario Plowmen's Association annual International plowing match at Cobourg. At least seven, and possibly ten, nations will send three-man teams, consisting of a horse plowman, a,tractor plowman and a coach. Decision to hold this first world match was taken last fall at an international conference at Fal- kirk, Scotland, following the sec- ond national British Association match. Canada's invitation as host country was extended by J. D. Thomas of Toronto, honorary president of Ontario Conservation Association and special delegate to the conference for the Ontario Plowmen's Association, Delegates from Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, West Germany, Eire and Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), are expected, and it is hoped that Belgium, France and the United States will join the organization in time for the October match. Competitors will be required to plow both grassland and stubble. To clarify ambiguities and differ- ences in definitions, it is planned to prepare a glossary of plowing terms in the language of each competing country. Following the match each country will give a demonstration of its kind of plow- ing, and some of the teams intend transporting their own plows ac- ross the Atlantic for the match. The conference was delighted at the Canadian invitation and the participation of Canadian plowmen in the B. P. A. match. "It was felt that in both cases Canada was giv- ing leadership in world match plowing. Many of the delegates visualized the present plans devel- oping into something even larger, for already machinery firms, fin- ancial houses, and industrial con- cerns have expressed interest and offers of prizes have been made". The conference agreed that fut- ure world matches shall be held in Eire in 1954, Sweden in 1955 and Great Britain in 1956. An- other conference is to be held in Great Britain in June to discuss prize lists and to complete com- petition details.
