Want and For Sole .A4k• ;1 week 25c Governor - General May Be Present At Plowing Match Although the first postwar Inter- national Plowing Match, to be know, as the "Victory Match,' is not t6 be held until October 15 to 18, at the Port Albert Airfield, near Goderich, in Huron County, J. A. Carroll, $u- perintendent.of the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies Branch of the Departtuent of Agrieul' ure and. the officials of the ,Ontario pm*: men's Association, are Bard at wok preparing plans for what is expected to be a mammoth event. In view' of the fact that there has been nd Iii= ternational Plowing Match 'since 1941, this year's revival -event is ex- pected to draw the greatest crowds which have eater attended 'a match of this kind, and Mr. Carroll and ' his colleagues are finding, many prob- lems to overcome in connection with the arrangements. Plans of the whole airfield and its buildings have been prepared, and the space is being allotted to the various features. Blocks of land are being set aside for the many plowing competitions for both tractor and horse-drawn plows. Many of the hangars and other buildings will be used for exhibition purposes by in- dustrial ndustrial concerns producing farm machinery and equipment, feeds, fertilizers and other commodities used extensively by farmers. Ample space is available in the buildings for general offices, restaurant facili- ties, press headquarters and the var- ious other facilities that are required for the operation of an event of such magnitude. Particular stress is being laid in the "Victory Match" on the displays and demonstrations of new types of farm machinery and equipment, par titularly large-scale equipment for breaking and clearing Iand, clearing out hedges and fence rows, and carrying on weed control and soil conservation projects on individual farms. Provision is being made whereby all the newest machines for this type of work will be seen in actual operation, and these demon- strations should arouse keen interest amongst the farmers who will be in attendance. It is expected that Canada's new Governor-General, Earl Alexander, will attend the match and take some part in the programme which is being arranged. The illustrated pro- grammes, posters and other material is now in the course of preparation, and will widely distributed in order to bring the International Plowing Klatch to the attention of farmers all over Ontario and in the United States. The location of the Port Albert Airfield, on which the match is to be held, is twelve and a half miles north of Goderich, on Highway No. 21.
