SUCCESSFUL, PLOWING MATCH
A revival of interest in nP1 w1
n
g
mateheses was staged ed onFriday la
St on
the farm of Mr. E. Shapton,
1 , 3rd con.
of Stephen, and not the least interest-
ed spectators were some of the "old
boys"...who had taken a hand iii plow-
ing matches way back in the eighties.
The ;match was under the auspices
of the Exeter district branch of the
Ontario Plowmen's Association., This
being the first plowing match in this
community for oyer 35 years sonic of
the younger farmers were more or
less backward in entering the com-
petition. A number statedthat they
would be in it next year if another
is held. Nevertheless there was a
good representation, ,nine teams tak-
ing part in the different events and
all winning a prize, The'teams were
5 on the ground at ten o'clock a.m. and
inaddition there was a fair turn -out
- of interested' spectators. The ladies
, had a booth and served lunch on the
ground. Early after dinner the
crowd began to increase and the es-
timates of the number present varied
from ten to fifteen hundred, maim,,
ladies being included. People had
motored in from miles around. In
spite of the inexperience of all the
contestants at plowing matches the
workwas adjudged by most of the
spectators to be exceptionally good,
although some of the old timers said
it couldn't conte up to that of the
good old days. There was much in-
terest taken in the finish and as the
contestants drew near the end there
was much speculation as to the Man-
ner in which the furrows would be
cleaned up. Mr. Ben Case gave a
demonstration with the Fordson trac-
tor, turning two furrows. The work
done by the tractor compared favor-
ably with that of ,the teams and was
much faster. Mr. E. Shapton 'gave
a demonstration, with his Internation-
al tractor turning three furrows. Mr,(
J. T. Allison, of the Thames Road,)
assisted his son Charles part of the
time. Back in 1884 Mr. Allison won
first in the men's class in a match on
the farm of Robt. Gardiner, at Far-
quhar. In 1885 a match was held at
Staffa and in 18 8 6 the last plowing
match in this section was held on the
farm of Mr. Jas. Gardiner,, Farquhar,
October 2"8, the same date as that
held last. week. Mr. Sana. Hunter
was the president. ` The prize win-
ners at that time were: Extra. class-e--
