for plowing match
TbrepAdvocate, October 7, 1965 Pimp 13
The local committee of Bork
County have lined up a full pro-
gram for the 1965 International
Plowing Match and farm machin-
ery display to be held at Milliken
this year between October 13 to
16. The match is highly com-
petitive and some of the best
plowmen in Canada will be on
hand.
New type tent
at plowing match
The old gray exhibit tent ain't
what it used to be.
It's a green and white plastic
air bubble big enough to seat 500
persons in auditorium comfort.
That's what visitors to the In-
ternational Plowing Matches,
Oct. 13-16, Milliken, Ont. will
find at the joint exhibition of
two leading Ontario fertilizer
manufacturers—Read F e r til 1-
zers, Inc., Elmira, and Ontario
Plant Foods, Delhi.
The unusual structure is a
plastic dome supported by air
where visitors may see the exhi-
bition without interfering beams
or pillars.
The fireproof dome is "blown"
to its 25-foot height by concealed
centrifugal fans which then con-
tinue to provide the internal pres-
sure to keep its shape. The pres-
sure is so low that visitors won't
notice it, but the building will
remain inflated for hours after
pumps are stopped.
Inside the structure, a com-
plete audio-visual system is
housed in a mobile trailer that
serves as a modern projection
control center.
With the equipment, programs
can be presented on wide screens
using stereophonic sound similar
to a regular big theater.
The structure will house daily
entertainment plus crop displays
and facilities for visitors to dis-
cuss agronomic problems with
specialists from both companies.
Samples of corn and tobacco
from demonstration plots will be
on exhibit to illustrate the bene-
fits of proper fertility programs
for Ontario crops.
Also on display will be infor-
mation on the new super pre-
mium fertilizer products that are
tailored to local crop and soil
conditions.
Featured attraction at the ex-
hibition will be Red Blanchard,
well-known singer and country
and western personality.
Decisions the farmer makes on
buying new machinery are among
the most important he faces in
operating a farm, says Dr. Ray
Murray, agricultural economist
at the University of Maryland.
The match will be officially
opened by the Honorable Harry
Hayes, minister of Agriculture
for Canada. on Wednesday fol-
lowing the opening special events
including the Mayors' and reeves'
special class will be held. It
also includes the Wardens' spe-
cial class, a corn picking com-
petition and the Canadian Cham-
pion class with eight provinces
entered.
Thursday the Canadian Cham-
pionship concludes. Added to this
is the "Queen of the Furrow"
contest and an Inter-county class.
The Friday program includes
a press, radio and TV class,
Eatons of Canada Junion Cham-
pionship and a horse show (horses
used by competitors).
The match concludes on Satur-
day with the Ontario Champion-
ship class, inter-secondary
school class and a horse shoe
pitching contest.
This year the tented city covers
50 acres, with two miles of ex-
hibits, farm machinery on dis-
play with an estimated value of
f3,500,000, by 235 exhibitors.
This is the largest tented city
ever in the history of the match.
Forty catering establishments
will be operating to make sure
the many thousands of visitors
are well fed. York County will
have top livestock and historical

Sometimes it takes drought conditions
like those suffered in Eastern Ontario
to make dairymen appreciate the value
of forage feed produced in their fields.
Every extra mouthful you produce
helps keep outside purchases down.
To get more forage from your fields
you need an Agrico Fall Fertilizer Pro-
gram. It will pay off in extra yield,
extra grazing days and extra feed
value for the animal.
