At 11 o'elocit all .the centestaxite

On arrival at the field, Which
was completely fenced in, we' were
amazed to find that spectators,

plates around the whole of the
field. As is traditional with World
Matches, the ontest started with
he firing- of a red rocket.
The first day was stubble plow-
ing and ,on opening the split all
competitore, except six et the high
side of the field found the ground
to be sticky. They had difficulty
keeping mould boards clean. Bob
Timbers had to: stop every few
yards and clean off • his mould
board; however, he finished well in
rny score and,made the fastest fin-
ish in the field. He was a close
second, to Hugh Barr of Northern
Ireland on total score. But INfickey
Demman, did not fare quite so well
at the start. Because of soil stick-
ing he Was a little off but on the
whole he was among the top ten.
All scores in the stubble contest,
with the exception of Hugh and
Bob, were yery low: '
All teains had finished • before
the rocket was fired to., announce
the end of the first day. The boys
seemed a little tired but the only
thing they mentioned was the hope
that they would draw better, sdil
the next day for the grassend
plowing. Nobody could qtiarrel
with that hope.

1VHAT'S THE VALUE
OF TIIE BUSH?
Recently, a group of Janior
Farmers asked Angus -Moffatt,
Hochwood farmer, whether his
bush Is a paying part of his farm.
Mr, Moffatt, •according to W. E.
Steele, Huron District Reforesta-
tion Supervisor of the Department
of Lands and Forests, told them
that 20 years ago the bush was so
operi on his farm 'one could stand
at the house and4count the cows
in its 25 acres. ,After it was fend-
ed, a fine new staiid of young trees
developed which will possibly be
better than the old ones.
From this 255 -acre bush, Mr,
Moffatt makes 125 to 225 gallons of
syrup worth $5 a. gallon; he mile
about $100 worth of hardwood fuel
as well as supplying his household
needs. Although he usually sells
2,000 to 3,00Q feet of good logs each
year, last year on the advice of
the Zone Forester, he took a heav-
ier cutting •which amounted to
about 211,Q00 F.B.M. In the skid
way these logs were worth $90 per
thousand feet for the best tyre-
thirdi and $60 for .the reste .0f
course, 'there are, expenses to
charge against the income receiv-
ed, but still Mr. Moffatt is pleased
with his bush. s,
Does it pay? "1 just wish thp
whole farm was In good hardwood
bush," said Mr. ,Moffatt..
The Council, in a meeting with a
committee of the Ontario Hog Pro-
ducers' Co-operative last month,
indicated that they were dissatis-
fied with the co-operative's present
marketing methods.
"In' view of our many difficul-
ties in the past to establish a, truly
open -market in Ontario," Charles
McInnis, said, "this statement
from the. -Domestic Packers is uni-
que and tremendously encouraging.
With a demand on hand from over
half of our counties in Ontario,
that we launch Open -market cam-
paigns in their areas, and now a
public statement from the domes-
tic packers raising and accepting
our open -marketing methods, there
is reason to believe that we have
about passed the hump in out six-
teen -year long struggle to get hogs
onto the open -market and to have
them sold, by experienced sales-
men to the meat processor paying
the highest price,"
