Sodbusters Club and,
spent' a week their
Colborne towns, ip, farm
practicing plowing withthree,
other .4.94 bOsters,
°They *Wed ail day last
Saturday getting ready for
today.' said Mr. Clark.
"Kevin has been competing
three years 00W* since he WAS
10, and Heather decided this
Year 414 wanted 10 take a
crack at it"
Mr. Clark brought his
tractor and plow 30 miles to
compete, .something most of
,eat deal'of preparation by
the entrants. The contestants
et up their machinery to
ithin a (Patter of an inch of
the required depths and
widths of the furrows and
elfin shine the moldboards on
*plows to give the freshly
turned earth a shiny ap-
rarice.
"It's a sport" said Huron

secretary ,Russell Bolton of
Seaforth.
Mr. Bolton is charged with
the task of setting up classes
for the day, making sure that
entrants meet the demands of
the class and that they work
their prpper area to make
judging., possible 4 He also
lines up prizes and awards for
entrants and collates results
of the day.
The secretary outlined the
steps a plowman must take to
compete in larger and more
prestigious competitions. The
next step winners for the
county matches take is to the
International Match which
this year is being held in
Walkerton and promises to be
the biggest match ever.
Winners of the International
. can then go on to the World
Match.
"You can't go to the
International without
competing here," said Mr.
Bolton.
The attraction of greater
competition is not the
primary reason contestants
enter their local plowing
match. According to one
entrant —it's fun". Bob
Learning, a 15 -year-old from
Walton, served as a coach for
young' eernpetitors putting
tlifte yeti of experience in
plowing competition into the
task.
"It's fun and 1 enjoy the
competition," he said as he
measured the furrow of Brian
