the Stephen township farm of
Allan Waiper, south-east of
Grand Bend.

dition to the actual plowing
events kept the visitors well
entertained throughout the af-
ternoon.

demonstration -of 'the solar
heating system which was in-
stalled last winter in the Waiper

contest with other politicians and
non -farmers.

Furrow for the second con-
secutive year. Her only com-
petition came from another 1976
