CANADIA N PLOWING TEAM
OXFORD, England—We've been
over bees more than a week now
and the day of the world plowing
rnatell is close at hand. Robert
Timbers, Of Stouffville, Ont., the
Palladian cheampion plowman and
his team mate, Edwin Demmer). of
Portage la Prairie, Man., have now
put in many hours- of practice
plowing.
At this stage I'd like to payo tri
Beilharut
bute to our boys, for they certain-
ly take this match seriously, If
time, effort and concentration
count for anything, the Canadians
should win the Esso Golden Plough
trophy, which is the award for
the world champion plowman.
Yesterday the boys ,were so intent
On practice plowing that they
didn't even stop for lunch. They
were having the same trouble as

The more pork you can produce from
every one handred pounds.ot grain you
feed to your hogs, the more efficient
your feeding operation will be. BUT,
don't expect grain alone to do the job.
It takes extra protein, minerals and vita-
mins added to your grain to make it
work efficiently.
We can provide these extra nutrients conveni-
ently and economically through SHUR-GAIN
HOGMIX CONCENTRATE and it doesn't take
a lot hto make a completely balanced ration.

the other plowmen---the earth
clinging to the Mould board, How=
ever, before they knpalted off for
the day they were in better hum-
our as our furrows begain taking
on better shape.
When we got, back to the hotel
we found J, 0, Thomas, of Tor-
onto, president of the World Plow-
ing Organilation, and Mrs. Thomas
had arrived. They came over by
boat, "J, D," as we call him,
started kidding me about shaving
off the beard' I had grown for the
centennial celebrations at Sault Ste
Marie, That was some time ago but
I must say it Was a real .black
beard and heavy enough to hide
behind. J, D. announced to every-
one that I would have to grow it
again if neither of the boys won
the trophy. Not only that, J. D.
declared I would have to wear the
facial foliage until the world
.championship returned to Canada.
Any comments by my - wife will
have to come from her personally.
Speaking of adornment, I had to
da some shopping for Mickey Dem-
man yesterday.. He wanted an
English cap because he didn't want
to get his white stetson dirty. I
found his head had shrunk one
size since Ire left home, or so I
*told him, but he didn't bat an eye
over the kidding. He probably
figured English hat sizes are a
little different.
On Sunday the boys from the 13
competing nations did ndt plow
and some visited nearby. farmers.
My wife and I went to church and
the welcome we received was warm
and sincere. A lady and a ,gentle-
man member of the congregation
were at the door to welcome stran-
gers.
In contrast to, the Toronto church
we visited which was an immense
building with a very small con,-
gregation, in Oxford it was a small
and yery old building with a large
attendance., Everyone near us had
a pleasant greeting-and I began to
wonder if the average ,Canadian is
far behind the English in polite-
ness for we have found the people
here very courteous,
After church we joined those
boys who were not being entertain-
ed at neighboring farms. It had
been arranged for us to go to
spend thee afternoon at a large
farm known as the Hobb's Farm,
which, is about 30 miles from Ox-
ford.
This farm consists of 680 acres,
which is really large for an English
farm. They have a herd of 300
milking Shorthorns, a couple of
hundred pigs, four thousand hens
and a very large flock of Border
Leicester Cheviot ewes. The farm
is producing a wonderful crop of
sugar beet, kale, potatoes, hay and
grain, I have never seen such a
thick mat of grass and walking in
the pasture' was like walking on a
very thick carpet.
The next day, Bob, Mickey' and
JIM Brooker, the New Zealand
champion, quietly •sneaked away
from the large practicefield to a
small field about three miles away
so they could practice by them-
Selves. The plowbottoms cleaned
very nicely in the Soil at the new
site and the boys felt good.
During the day I had an inter-
esting talk with Mr. Benwell of
Esso Petrbleum in London and
learned he haS a daughter living
at Agincourt, Ont., the wife of Dr.
C. Hoed. Also met and talked
with many people who had attend-
ed the first -World match at Co-
bourg in 1953. They all seemed to
tell the same story of hovir well
they were treat,ed in Canada, what
a beautiful, country we have, and
hew Well organized is the Inter-
national Plowing Match.
.rust by way of contrast I would
say that `the British seem to take
More pride than we in Ontario in

thing seems to be In perfect or-

I was ;mama to, stay but knew
they now bad a 'much better coach
with them than I would ever maim.
When they returned that night
they reported they were ready for
the big. match,.
The reason couldn't stay with
the boys was that the World
Plowing Organi4atien had arrang-
ed for a demonstration of plowing
by Bill de Lint of Rolland, A.11 the
,fudges, picked from the competing
countries, were on hand to watch
and an interesting discussion. ,on
rules and methods of scoring took
place, The result was that' I felt
that some progress had been made
in reaching uniformity in scoring.
This is all-important in world
plbwing matches for each country
