Times-Advocate, 1988-09-07, Page 15Expect record crowds
at Perth plow match
STRAT:=ORU • Organizers of this
year's International Plowing Mauch
arc betting a record number of nisi-
• tors will walk through their gates
this year. And the crowds won't be
disappointed, they say, thanks to
• the unprecedented number and diver-
sity of exhibits.
Plowing Match exhibitors come
from all over Ontario and North
America. Some are private corpo-
rations, some arc government agen-
cies, others arc charitable and,com-
munity .groups. Together they
make the Plowing Match the big-
" ;gest outdoor farm show in Canada.
Final figures will not be available
until just before the. Plowing
Match begins, but exhibitor num-
'tiers arc expected. to reach 600.
With a. booth or tent for each, their
businesses will line -the "streets" -of
the Tented City.
The large. number of exhibits is
made more exciting by the great di-
versity of subject matter on dis-
play. The simplest; highlighting
scheduled Plowing Match events,
will consist of pestered information
boards. The most complex, such
as some of the government exhib-
its, are full-scale mufti-media•walk-
through pavilions. But despite
their size or complexity, all have
something of interest to, any visi-
tor.
The Plowing .Match is also an ex-
cellent venue for new product
launches. With thdigrowing season
mostly over and the large numbers
of fanners in attendance, the Match
is a favorite kick-off site for new
products. At least a dozen -exhibi-
tors will introduce visitors to new
products, services or technology.
Nearly 100 first-time exhibitors
will be welcomed to the Tented
City this year.

gently lifts and fluffs hay and alfalfa
with rollers instead of tines. This
reduces loss due to scattering of
grain or leaves. Because the Gas-
- soling Windrow Fluffcr can move
windrows laterally to drier ground,
it can speed -drying time by as much
as 40 percent. With no tines to
break, there is Icss risk of danger-
ous metaltrash in livestock feed.
Though still rare in Canada; over
500 Gasseling Windrow Fluffcrs

STRATFORD - A new type of
forage drying equipment, thc first of
its kind in Canada, will be on dis-
play at this—year's international
Plowing Match in Stratford. The
Gasscling Windrow Hay Fluffcr is.
based on.a new principle in .crop
drying and works without tines.
Moorefield Equipment Ltd., of
Palmerston, Ontario, :s the sole
Eastern Canada distributor of the
new piece of equipment, which was
first manufactured in the United

Peter's Point
Continued from page 4 -
would fall for it. And ycf in our
township alone, about half a
dozen stone. split -rail and snake
rail fences have disappeared as the
result. It's the latest fashion.
Don't these owners of "century
farms" realize what they're doing?
The families of the early settlers
— men, women and children -
created their fields by removing
stones, rocks arid boulders. Now -
their mechanized descendants look
at these symbols of pioneer
farming as bothersome obstacles.
I'd like to take them alt by the
hand and lecture to them: "The
stone fence you just wrecked was
as important to our township as
the Walls of Jericho were to
Jordanian history. When your
stone fence came tumbling down,
a piece of Canadian history
disappeared. Your children and
grandchildren will hate you for
what you've just done. They'll
still be able to travel to Europe or
Asia and find traces of ' the
Romans and Assyrians. But when
they look for traces of Canadian
pioneers. of their own ancestors
who built this land by the sweat
of their brow, they'll be bitterly
disappointed. Maybe they can put
up, plaques that read "This is
where the last remnants of
historical pioneer fences were
wrecked in the late 1980's".
'They'll be frustrated but unable to
do t rotting about it. If they want
to see what these old fences
looked like, they'll have to go to
museums or study the
-441lustrations in books.
Fortunately there are some books
that teach us- about Canadian
fences. If you're interested, I urge
you to call your local library at
once and ask them to get you a
copy of Fences by Harry Symons
(available in a 1974 paperback
edition). It won't cost you a
nickel, and the book with its
beautiful illustrations by the well-
known Canadian artist C,W.
Jefferys will delight and educate
you. If this column reaches one
Canadian • farmer who is just
contemplating the destruction of
one old fence, it will have served
its purpose. Stop! Think! Read
the book! Look at your, fence
again, and then decide.
Maybe you'll have to sacrifice a
few hundred square feet of land.
And maybe you'll have to
continue making a few extra turns
with your combine, but you'll
preserve what your ancestors have
built. Old fences help to make our
Canadian countryside more
interesting. They please tourists
and artists and others with an
appreciation of our history. They
are of great benefit to all of us.
"Good fences make good
neighbours", wrote Robert. Frost.
Peter's Point is: "Good
neighbours don't destroy pioneer
fen,cs".
