Big Plowing Match
Coming to Huron
Two years of unceasing effort on
the part of Agricultural Represent
ative J. C. Shearer and the plow
mens associations of North and.
South Huron has resulted in bring
ing the International Plowing Match
to Huron County for 194'2,
Meetings were held Saturday and
Monday when committees were ap
pointed, a site selected and farmers
signed up.
'Officials of the Ontario Plowmen’s
Association, J. a. Carroll, Toronto,
general manager of the Internation
al Plowing Match; George Waldie,
Stratford, past president, and Clark
Young, treasurer of Ontario Plow
men’s Association, along with War
den George Feagan, ex-wardeu Wil
mot Haacke, L. G. Cardiff M.P., N.
Huron, J, D, Thomas, Goderich and
J. C. Shearer, Clinton, looked over
■the site, soil and facilities and found
conditions ideal.
The site chosen is the farm of
L. W. Whyte, Hullett Township,
bordering McKillop, and surround
ing farms in the two townships, an
aggregate of 4,500 acres. The site is
almost exactly the centre of the
county and is eight miles northeast
of Clinton and six miles northwest
of Seaforth.
The management committee Is
composed of J. D. Thomas, Goder
ich, chairman; L. E. Cardiff M.P.,
Brussels; Gordon McGavin and Bert
Hemmingway, representing North
Huron; Percy Passmore and Roland
Williams, William Quinn, of South
Huron and J. C. Shearer, Clinton,
secretary.
A subcommittee composed of R»
McGregor, L. E. Cardiff and J. C.
Shearer met and went over the
work to be done.
Since 1913 the International match
has .alternated between Eastern and
Western Ontario, but has never yet
been in Huron, the nearest being
Perth County in 1930. Hotels, of
Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Blyth,
Brussels and Hensail are all within
easy motoring distance from the
site and will be required for accom
modation of the 100,000 or more
visitors who may be expected to at
tend. It is estimated that 300 teams
and 150 tractors will be required
each day of the match. A feature
of the event will be grand banquet
with accommodation for 1,000 in

ton arena if a new one is
before that time. Prizes

POULTRY INCREASE
Registering the highest level
since 1935, the number of hens and
chickens on Canadian farms at De
cember 1st, 1939 (43,526,600), was
six per cent higher than in 1938.
The number of turkeys (2,641,800)
also showed a substantial advance,
being 18 per cent, greater on De
cember 1 than at that date in.193 8.
Large increases were reported in
Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
and Alberta.
New methods and equipment of
poultry raising are constantly being
tested by the Dominion Experiment
al Fal’mS Service, including batter
ies for brooding, rearing and lay
ing. Rations suitable for battery
use have also been compounded.

IT’S human nature to let your friends in on a
good thing. That’s why 1940 Pontiac owners
are advising so many of their friends to buy a
Pontiac.
Pontiac deserves this kind of friendship. To
day, there’s a Pontiac for everyone—27 models
in 5 new series of Sixes and Eights—and prices
start ivitb the lowest! They’re great big cars with
long wheelbases-—wide-seated and roomy—with
power-packed engines that challenge the gaso
lineeconomy of fat smallest cars. And Pontiac is
engineered to cut repair and service bills almost
to a vanishing point. Visit yout Pontiac dealer.

Painful Boils
Bad Blood the Cause
. JWhen boils start to break out on
different parts of the body it is an
evidence that the blood is loaded up
with impurities.
Just when you think you aro rid
of one, another crops up to take its
placo and prolong your misery.
All the lancing and poulticing you
may do will not stop more coming.
Why not give that old, reliable, .
blood purifying medicine Burdock
Blood Bitters a chance to banish the
boils? Thousands have used it for
this purpose during thp past 60 years.
Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad 1
Wood and the boils too.
