There were so many different - factors which contributed to this success that it would be unfair to pick out any; one feature, but the work done by J. A. Carroll, Secretary -manager of the Ontario Plowman's Associa- tion, by Gordon McGavin. its presii• dent, and Clark Young, its treasur- er, by all the directors and by the very efficient local committees all combined to create a smooth-work- ing mooth work- ing organization which showed a capacity for meeting emergencies on the spot and working out the right solutions. The entries in the many events, numbering approximately 650, set a new record for this great Interna- tional Plowing Match, and was testi- mony to the interest which had been aroused by its revival. Had it not been for unfavourable weather on the last day of the match, attend. once records might have been bro- ken. As it was, -the estimates of at- tendance given by newspapermen ranged from 130,000 to 150,000, THURSDAY,, FEBRUARY 6, 1947 Bob Timbers of Stouffville having the highest individual score, and winning the Fred F. Fuller Brophy, The huge attendance was ample evidence that the rural people of Ontario retain a keen interest in plowing, and in their International Plowing Match. It was thrilling to see the hangars, the tent exhibit area, and the areas -where the plow- ing. was being done, thronged with. spectators, and to . note how old friends were renewing .acquaintance - ships, and how county groups from the various counties were fraterniz- ing with each other. It was inspir- ing to note the wonderful reception given to. Viscout Alexander by the great mass of people who were . on the grounds during his visit, and to sea.his personal interest in the plow ing that 'was being done. All the arrangements made many months . in advance worked ' . out to • perfection.'' In spite- of the huge crowds. and the' -distance of the air- fieldfrom a town or city, the traf- fic, arrangements made it possible to handle thousands of motor velncles without undue congestion. The park- ing facilities, using the long; broad runways, were the finest ever seen. at any plowing match, and in spite of the rain, there, were no difficul- ties with bogged -down cars. Among the exhibits that were out- standing might be noted those of the Ontario Agricultural College, the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch' of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, the Huron County Crop Im- and on the Wednesday, when the provement ` Association, and the. Huron Fruit and Vegetable. Growers Governor-General of Canada was present, it is estimated that from 75,000 to 50,000' were in attendance The setting was ideal for such an event. Probably never before have there been such perfect facilities for large scale exhibits and displays by manufacturers and others inter - ancient association, the display of ant equipment and machinery, the ex- hibit of the Ontario Junior Farmers' Association and of the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests. The whole match was a triumph of co-operation and coordination, and acted in the agricultural industry, to Jack Carroll and the officers and ordirectors of the Ontario Plowmen's for the many services which are r Association, and -to the efficient lo- large hangars which housed the in- dustrial. commercial and institu- tional exhibits made it possible for the exhibitors to do an artistic job of work, and the result was that these hangars were constantly crowd- ed with people eager to' see the latest developments in equipment and supplies for the farm and fammm essential at such an event. The fou cal committees set up by the Huron County Plowmen's Association must go sincere congratulations on the manner in which a big job was un- dertaken and success achieved. The 1946 Victory Plowing Match set a high standard to shoot at fox future years, but the International is now re-established, and already home.

The main classes( were staged within the airfield, and, farms across the roar) and within easy walking distance, were called into service for various classes. With heavy entries, competition was net- urally very keen, and the staff of, Judges found it a difficult task to •once out at the end of the day with the results of the various events. Chief interest, naturally, centred au the Special for tractor plowing and the special for horse plowing, in which classes the first and second place winners were awarded a free trip to Britain.These were held on the last day, and in spite of curtailed plowing due to heavy -rain in the morning, exceptionally good work was done by the competitors for these awards. In the trips to Britain the winners were Fred Timbers of. Stouffville and Alex Black of Guelph. For horse,tlrawn plows Floyd Steckley of Stouffville won the first place and Austin Nairn of 1iunro second place. The announce- ment of these awards at the banquet held at the close of the match was received with wild applause from the great gathering of plowmen, Other feature events were the two Inter -County competitions for FOAMS of .junior Fanners. in the ;:arse -drawn plow competition, Brant County came out in first place, with John Gapton, one of the two mem- bers of the team, ranking as the high individual boy.

"Now if someone would discover an indust- rial use for weeds we'd be 'all set," is the claim of about 50 groups..The most "popular" weeds are ehickomy, ox -eye daisy and wild carrot. - Ontario farmers, of course, have raised crops for years that have gone to factories for processing. Thnber, wool, malting barley, rape seed, corn for cereals, crops for can- ning faetoriees all belong 111 this class and all are mentioned by the Forums. What about waste products? For. ums were asked. To which many groups promptly countered, "what waste; products are you talking about?" There's nothing wasted on Ontario farms. It seems everything either goes to market or goes back on the land to increase the fertility.

Huron reports from 20 forums, new fangled. hard. to pronounce Chemurgy didn't faze Farm Forum people one little bit, "best broad- cast of the season" remarked one group. Most Forums reported inter. esting and informative discussions.' Not that rural Ontario plans on turning its potato crop into motor fuels next season 'o3' to plant sun- flowers where previously have been clover fields. Rural folk are wait- ing, eager and alert, but definitely unwilling to give up tested crops and familiar practices for specula- tive crops. Forums see three serious obstacles. Will the price offered for yoy beans or other "industrial crops" make it worth while giving up the growing of hogs and the production of milk? Isn't it possible the sale of hese cash crops will deplete the fertility of the land? 57 groups ask this important question and most of them offer convincing proof that cash crops have already robbed their fields of fertility. In the.third place farmers want to see a dependable near -by market before theystart feeding their cull potatoes to a fact- ory instead of to the pigs, .But any enterprising manufact- urer who can give an .answer to these difficulties will find farmers eager to co-operate.
