Page 10 International Plowing Match News, October 1966
Horses still have a place
On the opening day of the match
the show is restricted to coun-
ties holding their annual plowing
match in conjunction with the
International Plowing Match. The
horse show on Oct. 13 is open
to all teams that have plowed
in the match.
The majority of horses take
part in the daily parade at 1 p.m.
Although the large majority
of contestants in this year's In-
ternational Plowing Match will
use tractors about 10 will use
horses for plowing. The match
is being held at Scott Farms,
McKillop township, Oct. 11 to
14.
Whether a contestant decides
to use a tractor or horses, he
has the choice of either bringing
his own or having them supplied.
The horses will be stabled at
the Clinton fair grounds which
is located a few miles west of
the site. The nearly 300 tractors
required for plowing, wagon tours
and other uses will be parked on
ten acres of land at the site
which has been set aside for
this purpose.
The horses can also compete
in the horse show which includes
teams up to six horse hitches.
Canada's contestants have won
two world championships, 1953
and 1961, three seconds, three
thirds, two fourths and one fifth
and have rarely been lower than
half way.
With one exception Ontario has
had a representative on each
Canadian team since the World
Competition started in 1953.
Leadership in World Plowing
Match activities is also worthy
of note. The first president of
that body was J.A. Carroll,
Brampton, the second president
was J.D. Thomas of Toronto,
and we now have Alex. McKin-
ney, Brampton, on the way up
to be president. Through his
efforts the World Plowing Or-
ganizations held it 10th annual
match in Canada on the Smythe
Farm in Peel County in 1963.
No world match will take place
in 1966.
of whom represent firms who
do business every day with farm
people, is very much in evidence.
it should be noted here that the
awarding of trips to the British
Isles to winning plowmen for
many years, resulted in the for-
mation of a World Plowing Or-
ganization and because Ontario
had been holding a large match
annually they were in a position
to act as host on behalf of Cana-
da for the first World Match of
the new organization at Cobourg
in 1953.
O.P.A. officials not only took
a prominent part in the arrange-
ments but succeeded in setting
up the same year a Canadian
Plowing Council which brings to-
gether annually the best plowmen
from the provinces for a Cana-
dian Championship Contest.
Since the first World Match,
Plowing Competitions
It must be remembered that the
International Plowing Match and
Farm Machinery Demonstration
is, first and foremost, a com-
petition in plowing open to plow-
men in any part of the world.
It continues to draw the interest
of our young men particularly
our junior farmers.
