with baskets of eea:aona] blooms. Mr.

years ago.
The bride was charming in a
street -length frock of pink silk sheer

accessories, and wearing a corsage
of white roses. Her only ornaments
were gold ear -rings which were worn
by her grandmother on her wedding
day. Miss Mary Holmes of London,

lovely in a dress of blue printed silk
with short matching jacket. white
accessories, and a corsage of pink
and white sweetheart roses, Robert

Horse Breeders Told
To Prepare for Future
Gasoline Rationing May Ham-
per Tractors, Clydesdale
Field Day Warned
The 'Clydesdale field day held at
the agricultural park on Saturday af-
ternoon wasnot quite as web attend-
ed as had ;been hoped 'for. owing to
the busy season having started an
the farms. However those who were
present enjoyed a very informative
and interesting afternoon .when a
group of outstanding 'breeders from
various sections of Western Ontario
gathered 'here to discuss their ,pro'b-
lents and hear addresses 'by special
speakers.
The them: of the afternoon seem-
ed to be that the 'horse would play an
ever increasing part in farm work in
the years immediately ahead and that
farmers should 1111 make the mistake
of relyinu too 'much on tractor power
at a time when a gasoline shortage
may he closer than many 'people real-
ize.
Dr. Christie, .president of the Ont-
ario Agricultural .College at Guelph
gave a forceful address in which he
emphasized the importance of the
horse on our ,f'arms. This is Ih. orne
out at the present tine due to the
war. Dr. Christie contended that the
ordinary 1100 acre farm could not
profiltalbly support a tractor, lie felt
that a tractor should be used for cus-
tom work among several farms and
in this way only was a tractor profit-
able to its owner. He warned against
the (belief that horses are doomed and
that every farmer should own a trac-
tor. 'Gasoline will +prdbalhly ;be e'a-
tioned and he advised (fanners to
look ahead noav to the ,future. Raise
colts next year and'}these colts will
Ibe the 'horses to do i ie .,farm work in
four or 'five .years. ,It'.,was wasteful to
do small jobs like hauling hay or cul-
tivating coin with a tractor.
'Before closing Dr, Christie paid
tribute to the type of 'Clydesdale dev-
eloped thy +Canadian Ibre''ders 'and he
was quite outspoken in s opinion of
the horses •which :were 'Scott -
land on some or ' the m;s there
where too much !attention&had Ibsen
m
paid to certain refineents' of the
(breed. He congratulated the 'Cana-
dian 'breeders on producingtigood all
round horses Which met aut'require-
ments. '
Dr. W. J 'Fowler, of •'the 'Ontario
Veterinary 'College"and a native of
Hulletlt township, also advised far-
mers ,to 'prepare for the day when
gasoline .will,lbe rationed. 'The farmer
!who has Ibnrilt up a stock of good'
horses is prepared for any even-
tuality, he :said. He Was s confident
!the horse will come 'back • into its
own and said tbalt farmers would get
more pleasure out of •drivin'g a 'h'orse
than driving a car,
IMr. S. B. Stothers of Arthur, and
first agricultural 'representative in
Huron county, and ,Mr. Donald ''Wil-
kinson were honorary guests at The
field day and gave !brief addresses.
IMr. Wilkinson, .:who is one of the
older and prominent (Clydesdale men
of the. province, praised the fine qual-
ity of :horses in Huron county. ?1'Ir.
Stathers expressed the opinion that
four -'horse ,Kearns could 'be used to
advantage. psrticul"arly in larger
