We want to know how Canadian pro- ducts are being received over there; 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. • 111 n • a n n • • • ▪ SUPERFLAME • • • • • • • Chick Waterers, for • • quart Fountains . .10c • • • • Brooder Wafers, 30c, 40c • Brooder Thermometers, ▪ 45; 60; $1.30 • • • • • • • al Hospital on Thursday, February 20th, to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cask- anette, Wingham, a son.
