QUEEN OF THE FURROW — Anne Stewart, RR 5, Seaforth, was selected Queen of the

Datars, left, Dashwood, ana the other contestants in the back were • -
Goderich and Patti Down of RR 1, Hensail.
Huron match draws
record entry totals
The Huron County plowing Stewart, 22, of RR 5,
Seaforth. Miss Stewart will
represent host Huron County
in the International Plowing
Match.
For the first time, this
year’s county match in
cluded a class for circular
plowing in which contestants
were required to till their
sections by spiralling
furrows out for a rectangular
central plot.
The over-all senior
champion of the match was
ReV. Ken fnnes of Brussels.
Reserve champion was
Donald Perrie also of
Brussels. Junior champion
was Bevan Shapton, 15, of
RR 1, Exeter, and Brian
McGavin of Walton was the
junior reserve champion.
Innes, a Presbyterian
minister, plows as a hobbv
match held this past
weekend on the Ken Camp
bell farm near Seaforth
attracted a record 100 en
tries for the largest county
match ever held.
Huron Plowmen’s
Association president Bill
Leeming of Walton called it
the largest such event ever
held in Huron County “and
I’ve been going to these
matches all my life.”
It will be eclipsed later this
month when Huron plays
host to the International
Plowing Match to be held
near Wingham. Interest in
plowing, because of that
event, and a resurgence of
interest among county
youngsters were credited by
Leeming for the success of
the weekend event. There
are now two 4-H Sod Buster
Clubs in Huron and 22 of
their members took part in
an achievement day Friday
and stayed on to compete in
Saturday’s open com
petitions.
Four of the county’s young
ladies took to their tractors
to determine the Queen of
the Furrows. When the earth
had been turned and the dust
settled the winner was Anne
but learned the art growing
up as a boy on his father’s
Stratford-area farm.
Shapton also took honors in
the afternoon junior class (20
years and under) and in the
“green class” for
newcomers to a plowing
match. Innes plowed the
straightest furrow in the
Huron County open class. In
the visitors’ division, Barry
Gordon of Glencoe defeated
contestants from Lambton,
Perth, Middlesex and Bruce
counties.
The afternoon open class
was won by John Little of
Monkton and
Desjardine of RR 1, Grand
Bend, won in
businessmen’s class. Ivan
Hodgins of RR 3, Parkhill, in
multi-lurrow plowing won
the “on the land” class.”
