.?LOW .MATCH'
AT , right back on the line."
This does not matter if ' you get
. What stoodout at Bruce Co.
'plowing match on Friday was
was someone s absence. That
�meone was: the man known as.
the plowman philosopher, Foster
Moffat, Langside octogenarian,
Who , was forced by ill' health to
miSs his first county match . in
memory. .
Mr Moffat who walked with ,
his back held as straight as the
winning. furrow, •:has.'. been as
much a• part of the $race snatch
as'the slow, plodding horses., or
the plowman gauginghia• work
with.. measuring stock. 1
But ,Mr, Foster has been .much
more than just,. m
: a sybol: of 1
• Bruce plowing. This son of. Bruce{{
Pioneers has ,walked many xniles..
in the .furrow himself and his'
knowledge of the ' `•'art" was cal
led on many times by puzzledI
judges... ,
• 'He would ain'ble over to a
young edntestant and impress on
;,hiot the importance of what ' to
many .seems a humble job, turn-
Ting a furrow: •
• "Nothing will teat good plow-
ing to .get ,good 'crops"', he, would•
say. "The • soil must be turned
from w, bottom to top. Pay atten-,'
tion to ,a true furrow anti it will'
give you a different :perspective
on life." I
Then he' would ' tell how the
principals 'of good plowingare
those of :a good life. Plowing too
lust be steady, straight & • done
with. a purpose, he said.
•
Mi. Moffat has: been active in
politics as well as in' farming &
insurance. He represented South
Bruce in the legislature,
Friday's match, held; • on• the
Teeswater district farm .of Rus-_
sell Christie, was plowed out of
stubble. The dry weather made
.4t impractical to, plow`. sod.
