At that time Clandeboye. Was call ed Irish town. They settled on a bush farm near Dashwood.

Not only will it be encouraging young men to plow, but it will also be the means of demonstrating to the farm public the ways and means being adopted by all those inter ested in agriculture to cope with present conditions. Indications are that the farm machinery demonstra tion in 1942 will^be the largest in the history of the match. > Not only will the farm machinery companies be patronizing the In ternational but the- various govern mental agencies will be ^making the best of the opportunity to 'show Ontario what they are doing for the farmer. There are also indications that the various breed associations in the county, including the Hol stein ando Ayrshire clubs, will spon sor educational exhibits. Yorkshire swine breeders have en i planning an exhibit.. Some 4,500 acres of land have’ been selected and approved by the executive of the Ontario Plowmen’s. Association. Incidentally, the On tario Plowmen’s Association regard the site as one of the finest theyt have ever had. Situated in Hullett township, with headquarters’ ' on 1 the W. L.
