The long-awaited event will be held at Port Aibert Air Field, north of Gcrderich, on Tuesday - Wednesday Thursday. n Friday, October 15-16- 17-18. Organized in 1913 Since 1913 when the first Inter- national was organized under the sponsorship of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, it has always proved to be one of the top-flight attractions of all the agricultural events in Ontario. Of course, plowing matches have been held by Ontario farmers- for well over a century, and prior to the for- anation of. the Ontario Plowmen's Association, it was customary for plowing matches to be held in con junction with an itinerant Provincial Exhibition; that was held. in Loudon Hamilton, Toronto and Kingston. Around the turn of the century, how nver, interest fit thee Matches began to wane and by 1910 less than a dozen matches were held in Ontario. There were no Provincial or DietTiet matches and no organization to pro- mote good plowing.. The first plowing match. to be sponsored by the Ontario Plowmen's Association was held at Setenybrook Farm, near Toronto, in 1913 with.3t single -furrow horse drawn plow ent- ries While there were no classes for tractor drawn. plows, we understand that there was a tractor on the grounds and this provided plenty ef curiosity ad cauetic amiment by the visitels. Possibly one of the questions asked veas: "Do you think that it will ever replace the horse's.' Great Growth Seen From 1913 to 1920, annual Plowing matches were held, but until 1920 no record was kept of the attendance. The 1920 figures showed an attend- ance of 20,000. Since that time the attendance figures have grown, in- dicating that the public interest in goon plowing has increased consider- anly during the past quarter of a ..ceetery. . The . highest attendance figure since 1920 was for the 1940 International which was held •at St. Thomas with a total attendance of 170,000. The lowest during the same period,was with the exception ot i 1920, n 1922, 1931 and 1932, when attendance at all three only reached 80,000 in each of the years. Huron County Host This year Huron County is filling the role of host to the thousands who will be attending, and it is hoped that this year the "Victory Match" of the International -will top all previous re- cords for attendance, and it is up to everyone who has the slightest inter- est in plowing matches to talk -up this year's event. Write, phone and wire your friends and invite them to attend. Remember, a plowing match is always an inexpensive affair, there is no admission charge, then is no 'midway or toncession, it is strictly an event that, is of paramount interest to everyone in anyway connected with the soil, and everyone is invited to come .and visit in a friendly farmer's fashion.

Achievement Days are Here for Juniors In his most recent broadcast, Ger- ald E. Nelson, Clinton. assistant agri- cultural; representative for Fturon County, referred to the various Achievement Days being held in the County. He said: "The fall season is fast approach- ing and with it conies the variety; Fall Fairs at which our Boys' and Giels' Calf and Swine Clubs will be exhibiting. These .A.thievenient Days mark the completion of the club season. All club ;members must eac. titbit at one of these fairs in order to be eligible for prize money. Clue members now should begin fitting their calves and sows for the fair, by keeping them inside from the heat or cold, frequent !mashing and grooming and in the case of calf club members, handling and training their calf to lead and stand properly The following are the Achievement Days for the eight clubs In Huron County: Blyth Fall Fair, September 11, for Huron Holstein Calf Club and Blyth Baby Beef Club; Belgeave Scheel Fair, September 17, for More ris Beef Club; Ebteter Fair, Septem- ber 19, for Exeter Swine Club; Dun- gannon Fair, September 27, for Dun- gannon Beefclub; Brussels Fair, October 4, for Grey Beef and Dairy Clubs; Hayfield Fair, October 9, nor Hayfield Swine Club. Packing Plant Tout We took the members of the Hay- field and Exeter Swine Clubs on a , tour to the Whyte Packing Plant, Stratford. Approximately 20 boys !availed themselves of the opportun- ity to see at first hand the processing ;of hogs from the time Thy go up, to 1 the killing floor on foot until they are hung on the rail, prior to being ;placed in the cooling room. The boys 'placed a class of five market hogs in the morning and after lunch watch- ed the hog kill. A. number of car- casses were set aside ineluding the four that were judged on foot, and Mr. Duff, the chief grader, discussed these with the boys, as to type, uni. formity, proportion of fat to lean, etc. From this discussion the boys bene- fitted greatly for they were able bo covrelate the live hogs with the car- casses and in that way fairly well sized up in their minds evhat e grade A hog looks like on foot as well as on the rail. Dr. Hanmore, the plant veterinarian, showed the boys a few carcasses which had been held oe re. jected on the basis of health stand- ards. This trip counted as a regular meeting :tor the swine club members' and the class; of hogs which they judged constituted the final judging coinpetition, the points for which go towards their total score for the club work. All the boys were unanhnous in their opinion that the trip was very beneficial and educational. Pigs Affected In travelling through the County, I find several pigs, particularly those weighing up to 100 tbs. having symp- toms of bull -nose or rhinitis. This particular disease is spreading rapid- ly this year and unfortunately as yet there is no satisfactory control. I (Continued on Page Eight) HONOR II. T.
