Dear Friend:
Did you ever 'enjoy' cold broiled
steak, cold pan-fried potatoes, and
luke-warm bacon, for lunch? The
tea and coffee were hot and served
before the main course, so you can
imagine what it was like by the
time we got to that stage. The ttills
were cold, hard and tough and the
butter like little pieces of yellow
rock. But there is a saying about a
'gift horse' so I mustn't growl..
Again, my'friend at the Ministry
invited me to go to the Ploughing
Match with her. (The brochures
and programs say Plowing Match.
My American dictionary says
`plow', with 'plough' as second
choice. My English dictionary puts
!plough'first. When I went to
school, we were still using the
English spelling, so don't be
surprised if I stick to the old way).
The weather did not look ideal, but
the weatherman said 'possible
afternoon showers' so we went
prepated - fortunately. We
checked in first at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
Building. One person I met there
dancing.
The "Over 90" Club met on
Wednesday afternoon and welcom-
ed four new members, 'Mrs.
Wheeler, Mrs. Yeo, Mrs. Riddell
and MrS. Weston. 9uests of 'the
Club for the afternoon were 'Mrs.
Elsie Henderson, Norman Lear and
William Farnsworth, who provided
some musical numbers, with piano
instrumentals by Mrs. Fremlin and
mouth organ selections ,by Walter
Kingswell. Tea and cookies were
served in north dining room and
volunteer, members of the. Walker-
burn Club assisted with activities.
was Mr. D. H.. Miles, a former
Agriculture Representative in lir
on County. He remembered
several people I mentioned. There
were many interesting maps,
charts, pictures, and some slides on
various phases of Agriculture. One
I studied a bit was a sort of map
showing-the-disappearance-of farm
lands' where towns and cities are
spreading out - in this case it was
Brampton. You wouldn't believe
the amount of prime farming land
that has been taken for housing,
industry and highways in 20 years.
We dived into the Bruce County
tent to have a cup of good hot
Coffee - free - and a, piece of Pine
River cheese. We wandered
around a bit and found the
Woinen's tent where there was a
demonstration of Flower Arrang-
ing. During the draws for gifts, the.
M.C. introduced one of the men
from Ireland., And when I got home
this afternoon there was a letter
from Mollie Whiteside. flow is
that for a coincidence? Rain
started while we were looking at
the flowers but had stopped when
we .came 'out.
We went to the OPA tent where
we got some books and information
including a _place to' have lunch.
Enough said! -Later we wandered a
bit more and then it was time for
the parade. We saw most if it and I
found it very interesting. There
was a Shriners' Band in the parade
and all sorts of farm and
farm-related' equipment, most of
which was new to me. But it gives
an idea of the size and cost of
machinery used on a modern farm.
But it was not all new and modern.
There was' a display of tractors,
1931, 1939, 1960, and a very 'new
one, all .the same make. (There was:
-a 1919. tractor at the farm
Museum). There was one lovely
old steam engine huffing and
puffing and sending out a cloud of
smoke, and occasionally warning
us of its approach just as they used
to do coming down the road on
threshing day. There was a team of
4 oxen pulling a covered wagon,
but they were before my day! -
There were 2 trucks advertising
Huron ,County's attractions and
industries. And of course, Bruce
County reminding everyone that
the Ploughing Match next year will
be near Walkerton.
But this was not just an ordinary
Ploughing Match. It is the
-International Canadian and World
Ploughing Match. There are
competitors from nineteen count-
ries competing for the World
Championship. And we Canadians
had better begin to look ,to our
-4aprels. - From 1953 to 1974,
inclusive, Canadians have won
twice, Northern Ireland four time's
and Finland three times. I hope we
are winners this year, but when
people come all the way from
'Down Under' it. would be nice to
see them win too.
You may have heard on CBC this
week the ceremonies at the
unveiling of the Cairn of Peace.
The official unveiling speech was
by Mr. Stewart, the Ontario
Minister of Agriculture and Food. I
understand that Mr. Trudeau was
to have been the speaker but as
there were contestants from Rhod-
esia whose racial policy is criticised
by Canada, it was thought an
international incident , might be
Caused if Mr. Trudeau spoke. Or,
at least that wak the impression I
got from the radio that day. I was
most anxious to see the Cairn and
liked it. The design is a Maple
Leaf, made of pieces of green
—granite from near Sudbury, mort-
ared together to make a leaf
probably 5 or 6 feet across. Each
country participating in the plough-
ing sent a rectangular piece of
stone with the name carved in it; in.
the langnage and sometimes the
printed letters of the country. The
effect was a bit like a maple leaf
just beginning to change colour.
One little thing amused me, ,and
whether it was by 'accident or
design. I have no idea, but the
plaques from. Northern Ireland and
the Republic , of. Ireland 'were at
apposite sides of the leaf, as far
apart as they could possibly be. In
reading the large book about the'
Ploughing Match, I was interested
in the sizes of the farms of the
competitors, ,the great variety of
products they grow, and the makes
of tractors they use. Smile are
common here and some I never
heard of before. The farms 'range
from 20 acres in New Zealand, to
2,976 acres (if I can. change
hectares to acres correctly) -in
Rhodesia and 3,000 acres in Kenya.
Some were Agricultural Contract-
ors with- apparently no-land of their
own at all. Here are some of the
unusual (to us) crops - Africander
Cattle, Simmenthal cattle, Clun
Crosses for fat lamb production,.
Pyrethrum, Notwegian Red Cattle,
Almonds. Oh, yes, Coloured beef
cattle. That made me think of a
patchwork quilt or a hooked tug!
We visited the. Crafts tent and
saw the usual ' needle crafts,
weaving and pottery, rug making
etc., There .were demonstrations of
the work with women in the
costumes of an earlier period doing
work which used to be so common
and necessary, and which is
becoming popular again.
You will be thinking, a Ploughing
Match and not a word about
Ploughing. As the day wore on; the
weather deteriorated and it got
colder and wetter and not the kind
you want to be out in watching a
. man and tractor ploughing; or even
a man and huge heavy draught
horses turning a straight furrow.
So we decided to just go back to
smoggy old 'Tim' and get some
warmth into our systems. We saw
a team of oxen just .finishing a
furrow as we drove away. We
missed the speakers and the Public
Speaking Contest and the Bowman-
ville High School Band also, but owe ,
were able to breath good country
air for a few hours, and rub
shoulders with hundreds of those
absolutely indispensible citizens of
Canada. Where would we be
without our Farmers and the rich
land they till?
