We want to know how Canadian pro-

how the British farmers managed dur-
ing the war; and what the farming con-
ditions are like now that peace is back
again.
The four champion plowmen are two
teams and they will take part in plow-
ing matches in Lancashire, England,
and County Down, in Northern Ire-
land, Floyd Steckley and Austin
Nairn won the Salada gold and silver
medals in the Trans-Atlantic Class for
horse-drawn jointer plowing at, the
International Plowing Match held in
Ontario on the Port Albert Airport last
October. Fred Timbers and Alex
Black were winners in the Esso Open
Tractor Class at the Match.
As champions they were awarded
this trip and all their expenses and
those of the manager are being paid
jointly by the Imperial Oil Limited,
and the Salacla Tea Co, of Canada,
Ltd., while mine are being pail by the
Ontario Plowmen's Association.
George Waldie is managing the
tenths, He's a director of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association which sponsors
the International Matches, I'm going
along as another representative of the
0.P.A of which I'm treasurer, and
I've been aaked to write articles as We
travel,
MATCHES IN ONTARIO
Plowing matches have been held by
Ontario farmers for over a century
and the International Matches have
been sponsored by the Association
since 1913. A trip like this across the
Atlantic was planned for winners of
}torte plowing in 1939 but Was cancel-
led because of the outbreak of war and
the Vida- visited the -United States in-
tead, In 1042 it was decided to sus-
Pend the International Matches until
the end of the war because of travel
restrictions, The Victory Match at
Port Albert brougfit the competitions
back again and they Were rbigger and
better than ever, •
Plowthert norittanity "wet their feet"
at township and country matches and
when they acquired sufficient skill and
confidence the)- enter the big Interna-
tional events, There they meet repre-
Sentatives front practically every cou-
nty in Ontario as well as those from
other provinces and from the United
States.
Let me tell you a little more about
'the men who are making the trip,
We're all from. Ontario and you might
say we're old friends because we've
been meeting each other at various
plowing matches for a good many
years now,
THE WINNERS
When Floyd Steckley won the Sal-
ada gold medal at Port Albert it was
his fourth 'International championship
lin horse-drawn plowing. He was born
44 years ago on a farm in Whitchurch
township', York county, and now is
manager of the Harvey Schell 210-
acre farm near Stouffvfile. He special-
izes in mixed farming. His wife is the.
former Lila Grove and they have a 10
year-old son.
Fred Timbers, the Esso Tractor
gold medalist, is another frequent In-
ternational winner, He was born on
his father's farm in Markham township,
York County, in 1907, and now owns
a 115-acre farm at R.R. No. 4, Whit-
church township. He,, takes an active
part in municipal affairs as a member
of Whitchurch township council and
trustee and secretary of Whitchurch
School Section No, 9, and belongs to
the Stouffville Lions Club. His wife
is the former Dorothy Hood, and they
have two sons and a daughter.
The two silver medalists both are
bachelors, and both farm the proper-
ties on which they were born, in 1911,
Austin Nairn, who was second in the
Salada event lives at R.R,1, Munro, in
Fullerton township, Perth county,
Alex Black, second in the Esso class,
farms at R.R. 2, Guelph. Alex, who is
often called Sanday, was re-elected
president of the Wellington County
Plowmen's Association for 1947. His
father, who taught him to plow, was
councillor and then reeve of Puslinch
Township.
THE MANAGER
Our trip manager, George Waldie,
lives at R.R. 2, Downie township,
Perth County, two miles from Strat-
faord, on "Athelstane Farm" where he
was born 48 years ago. His father, a
hardware merchant, started a Short-
horn herd in 1894 and later became
president of both the Dominion Short-
horn Breeders' Association and of the
Cattle Breeder's Association. George
still is carrying on the herd and is a
director of the Ontario Plowmen's
Association, belongs to the Board of
Managers and Session of Knox Pres-
byterian Church, Stratford, and to Te-
cumesh Masonic Lodge, His wife is
the former Ethel Stacey and they
have a son and a daughter.
As for me, well I'm treasurer of the
Plowmen's Association and I farm 200
acres in ,Markham, Township near Un-
ionville, York County. The property
was settled by my grandparents in
1841 and I was born there 54 years
ago, -We had the first light tractor
in York county, acquired in 1915. My
first plowing competition, with horses;
was in 1911 but I used the tractor in
1920 and was successful in some later
championship matches. My good wife
is the former Jean Grant of Wexford.
That tells quite orbit about us, and
you'll understand there was a lot of
excitement on our farms as we packed
and got ready to start the trip.
We all met one morning in Toronto
and our new experiences began almost
at once for the two teams did some
radio broadcasting. Fred and Austin
went on the air from radio station
CFRB where they were interviewed
by Rex Frost on the farm news broad-
cast; and Floyd and Alex were inter-
viewed by Don Fairbairn, pinch-hitt-
ing for Jack McPherson, over CBI, of
the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora-
tion. Two of the boys had broadcast-
ed before on the Hot Stove League
and so they didn't have "mike fright"
although they were all glad when it
was over.
THE TRIP STARTS
We had lunch at the Granite Club
as guests of Imperial Oil and Salada
Tea. There were a few short speeches
of farewell and we received the good
wishes of J. A, Carroll of the depart-
ment of agriculture who is general sec-
retary-manager of the Ontario Plow-
men's Association, GordOri McGavin,
president of the Association, McIntyre
Hood, supervisor of publicity, depart-
ment of agriculture, R. K. 13ythell of
the Salada Tea Co., and A. G. DeMont
and C. A. Robinson of Imperial Oil,
In the afternoon all the necessary
papers were signed, 'baggage tagged
and tickets and passports distributed.
We all received travellers' theouea
payable in pounds, shillings and pence;
some of us had pictures taken at a
studio; we had a quick dinner; and
then it was time to say good-bye to
our wives and families at the station.
We boarded the train and the trip had
begun.
Our first stop will be a brief one in
New York where We are to board the
Queen Elizabeth, We're all looking
forward to our crossing and to visiting
London, the.King's farm at Windsor,
then Yorkshire, Edinburgh, Lanca-
shire and Belfast, By the tithe you
read this we'll 6e over there, seeing as
mueh as it is possible for us to see in
six weeks.
