William G. Newman, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, receives a Huron County welcome from daughters of Jim Armstrong; host faimer for the 1978 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. The plowing match will be held one mile east of Wingham, on Highway 86, from September 26 .to 30. THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT —15 Finding tractors, plows for IPM is quite a job (Continued from Page 1.4) Ken Innes of prussels, Jerry Priestner of Lucknow, John Radford of Londesboro and Morris Hallahan of Blyth. When the committee locates a tractor it can use it gives it a thorough going- over to make sure it's in good shape .and arranges pickup and delivery for it. While at the match the tractors will be kept in a gua r ded compound area just across the highway from the tented city. The committee's responsi- bility for providing equip- ment is pretty much limited to tractors, Mr. McGavin said, The plowmen will either contrive to bring their OWil plows to the match or will arrange for a plow through their dealer network which is a good thing since the cost of match plows runs around $1,000. There is also a limit-to how "fine" a person can get in SpeCifying equipment prefer- ences. Some Europeans who . come over for the match want nine inch wide tires on their tractors since thats what they're used to, but the narrow tires just aren't avail- able here, he noted. In addition to finding, transporting and storing the tractors, the tractor commit- i tee will set up a small repair shop with facilities for wel- ding or sharpening plow points. It is also responsible for having some big tractors standing by to pull exhibi tors' trucks on and off the site if it is wet and for looking after the fuel for the plowmen and the Junior Farmers' wagon train. The committee has a budget for fuel but the plowmen and other commit- tees are expected to pay for fuel they use. Last year the fuel budget went out the window very quickly as over 900 gallons were used just to pull things onto the muddy site, Mr. McGavin noted. Hopefully that won't happen this year. • Come 8 Visit our Display at the international Plowing Match on Machinery Row Lot 242 See our Peterson Uni-Tach Rims Direct Axle Duals MOUNT Vii4+.1tEL Come and See our wide range of TRACTOR TIRES both Front Rears, as well as 'Dua _ ...Rice tires are available - Two service Trucks Available for on the 'FARM SERVICE' Two phone lines to serve you better ( 519) 482-9796 & 482-3752 S, HAUGH TIRE & MUFFLER SUPPLY LTD.
