A.11' of them wore large' western hats with bands .,advertising the 1957 World Plowing Match to be held at PeWes, Ohio, In conversation with one of the women members of this group I asked her if she --knew the USA judge for the World .Match, whom I had met the previous day. She laughed and said, "Well I should - he's my husband I" Well, the British National was a real show. IVIaylbe not as large as our International Plowing Match but it seemed to me to 'be turned out better. There were flowers and shrubs everywhere and the officials had not spared paint, nor elbow grease for that matter, in making everything spick and span. It was .a beautiful sight, Before the match got underway there was a parade of contestants and the horse plowmen stole the show. There were 14 teams and some of the horses were handsom- ely decked out; perhaps too much in the way of decorations for plow horses but they did look splendid. However, the plows were a differ- ent matter for dome Were rather crude-looking and some were an- cient. '- During the match I noticed tat all the high cut work was done with horses pulling old plows with very long mould boards on wheels. There were tail pieces on the boards and so many gadgets that I couldn't figure out what they were used for. Most of the teams walked on the land instead of in the furrows. Also, there were some long, heavy double trees and% single trees and about eight feet of chain betweeriOhe 'plow' and the team. It seemed to me they would be very hard to handle as well as draw. It wasn't ,long be- fore both the, horses (weighing between 1,600 and 1,800 pounds) and the men were in a lather. However, there was some e3thet- lent work done. In the mechanized section there were 132 tractor plows. These in- cluded some high-cut, crude-look- ing ones and there were some of the setnihdigger type, such as our boys- have been using. Some of the_ tractor plowmen turned out work that was comparable to the best at our International and I must say the stewards were very strict. No one was 'allowed to break any of the,rules. So much for the,; British Nation-al. It was the neat day that was we found a larger crowd than the day previous had already gathered-. They wanted to see the 'boys from the competing countries as 'they disembarked from a motbr couch that brought them from the hotel, Our boys went immediately to their equipment tQ make last-min,. ute adjustments and to warm up the tractors. ' At 11 o'clock all the contestants had lunch together in a big tent on the grounds, Half-an hour later they were lining up their tractors in parade formation, Each tractor bore a card with the name of the competitor's country. As far as a parade goes the only thing lacking was musig, It was headed by an official car fol- lowed by two tractor-drawn wag- ons, the tractors driven 'by girls. On the first wagon rode the 12 judges gincl,on the second were the stewards and coaches, or team managers, These were followed by the. 25eontestants with their traotor-drawn plows.,The parade circled the headquartrs and then proceeded to the contest field, On arrival at A the field,, which was completely fenced in., we were amazed to find that spectators, three deep, had already taken up places around the whole of the fieldl.e As is traditional with World Matches, the contest started with the firing of a red rocket. The first day was, stubble plow- ing and on opening the split all competitors, except six at the high side of the field, found the ground to be sticky. They had difficulty keeping mould boards clean. Bob Timbers had to stop every few yards and clean off his mould board, however, he finished 'well in my score and made, the fastest finish in the field. He was a close second to Hugh Barr of Northern Ireland on total score. But Mickey Demman did not fare quite so well at the start. Because -of soil stick- ing he was a little off out on the whole he was among the top ten. All scores in the stubble contest, with,the exception of Hugh and Bob, ere very low. All teams• had finished before the rocket was fired to announce the end of the first day. The boys seemed a little tired but the only thing they mentioned was the hope 'that they would draw better soil the next day for the grassend plowing. Nobody could quarrel with that hope.
