the match the tractors ;7'.4111 be

compound aiea just across
the highway from the tented
city.
The• committee'a responsi-
bility for providing equip-
ment is pretty much limited
to tractors, Mr. McGavin
said. The plowmen will
either contrive to bring their,
own plows to the m,atch or
-will arrange for, a plow
through their dealer network
which is a good thing since
the cost of match plows runs
around 81,000.
There is alio a limit-to hOW

ences. Some Europeans who
come over for the match want
nine inch wide tires on their'
tractors since Chats what
they're used to, but the
narrow tires just;. aren't ayail- ati here, he noted.
addition to finOing,
transporting_ and storing the
tractors, the tractor commit=
,tee will set up a small repair
shop with facilities for wel-
ding or sharpening plow
points. It is also responsible
for having some big tractors
standing by to pull exhibi-
tors' trucks on and off the
site if it is wet and for looking
after the fuel for the
plowmen and the Junior
Farmers' wagon train::
The tornmittee has window_veryqjuickly as over
