SUCCESSFUL PLOWING MATCH
The annual plowing match of the
Exeter District Plowman's Associa-
tion was held on the farm of Duns -
ford Bros., on Thursday of last week.
The attendance of spectators, though
of fairly large numbers, received
somewhat of a .check, owing to the
cold and dampness of the day. Heavy
showers fell during the previous af-
ternoon and evening and while the
rain held 611 fairly well all day the
sky was overcast and many prospect-
ive visitors stayed away.
The rain may have kept away spec-
tators, but it was welcomed by the
plowmen, putting the land in fairly
good condition for plowing. The
classes in both sod and stubble as
well as tractor competition were
closely contested and excellent work
done. There were twenty-one con-
testants this year in all classes,
whereas, the previous record was fif-
teen. Youth and oIa. age were rep-
resented in the contest, the oldest
plowman being Richard Hunter, of
town. and the youngest Will Allison,
of Usborne. The winners are as
follows:
