with a lively program of
tractor-pulls, horse-draws
and other featured events at
the 1978 Canada Farm Show,
January 31 to February 3, at
the Coliseum, Exhibition

“This year’s show will be
the largest we have ever
held,” said Dawn Morris,

Mrs, Morris said that all
the major manufacturers of
farm tractors will exhibit at
the show along with hun

wide range of farm equip

the exhibitors are not only
manufacturers but also dis
tribute products from a
number of other manufac
turers,” she said.
“Products from more
than 1,500 companies will be
on display.”
The show will occupy a
total floor area of more than
220,000 square feet to exhibit
machinery, equipment,
supplies and services for
every segment of
agriculture, Mrs. Morris
said. “The exhibits range all
the way from products for
'the small specialty farmer
to equipment of interest to
large corn, grain, dairy and
beef operators.
Sponsored by the Ontario

Dealers Association, the
show is Canada’s largest in
door agricultural equipment
exhibition which in recent
years has averaged over 50,-
000 visitors annually.
