Feature J. A. Carroll and members of the executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association have inspected the site for the 1942 International Plowing Match and have found it to be highly satis- factory. In fact they feel it is one of the finest locations the International has ever enjoyed. They feel quite cer- tain that this fact will have a great deal to do with the success of the match. 4,500 acres of level land of an, ex- cellent type for plowing is being ad- apted to the purposees of the Inter- national. The farmers who are gratu- itously giving their farms have plan- ned their crops for this year so as to give the fullest co-operation to the purpose of the match. Thousands of people will come flooding into Hullett township in. Hur- on County. They will require food and lodging. They will leave an enormous amount of money with the people of Huron county„They will take away with them also a new idea of the ca- pacity of this banner county in the scheme of food production for war purposes because the directors plan on having a county exhibit on the grounds. New pledges of support to the In- ternational Plowing Match are coming in every day. The Huron county Fed- eration of Agriculture has pledged one hundred per cent. support. In some quarters there have been dissenting voices in connection with the match. The fact that the Ontario Government recognizing the gravity of world ev- ents considers that the plowing match lias a definite am] most important tolq to play in helping the farmers of Can • - ada •become acquainted with labor. setting devices seems to be reasonable justification for the devotion of all en- ergies to making this plowing match one of the greatest in the histoty of the International . Reforestation Scheme It is expected that one of the main educational features of the Internat- ional Plowing Match will be the ex- periment in reforestation. With Water shortages looming up as a more ser- letta problem each year this feature will be especially appreciated. The ex- periment will be designed as a means of showing individual farmers how they can help themselves and at the Same time help prevent the inroads of erosion and bad floods. Hybrid corn which Is rapidly be- coming the answer to the problems of many corn growers will he demon• strated also it is expected at the inter. national. The various varieties will be planted and each will be totrveniently , FOR GOOD WATKINS ROUTE— Steady Customers. Must be honest and reliable, have car or means of getting one.
