TOP RANK PLOWMEN LEAVE ON
"SALAMI” TEA TRANSCONTINENTAL TRIP
The International Plowing 61atch held at St. Thomas hist year set a new
record in the number of entries and attendance. The most coveted prize offered
was that for the special class sponsored by the Salads Tea Company and open
to all horse plowmen in Jointer Plow sod classes, who had qualified at branch
matches—a six weeks' motor trip to the west coast and back.
It is a coincidence that the trip, along with the gold and silver medals for
first and second prizes in this class, was won by two neighbour plowmen, John
Lister (left) and Harold Picket (right) both of Horuby, Ontario. Their journey
was planned under the guiding hand of J. A. Carroll, manager of the Ontario
Plowmen
Plowmen's Association, and will take them to areas of agricultural interest in
the 'United States and Canada fronnTorontotoVancouver. Gordon McGavin
(centre), another well-known plowman, of Walton, will accompany the winners
as guide, companion and manager.
The trip should prove iritt•asely tntereeting and of great educational vnhrF

Principal Suffers Collapse—
It was learned with deep regret
that ltlr. A. E. Martin, principal of
the local public school, had suffered
a physical and nervous breakdown,
and will not be able to resume his
teaching duties until the fall term, at
least.—Fordwich Record.
Crop Conditions—
A period of warm weather in
April. and a small amount of prerlp-
station this spring permitted an early
start at seeding operations, and the
work was carried on with few inter-
ruptions. As a result rapid progress
was made, and at May 150 seeding
of spring grains was completed in
the greater part of South-western On-
tario, Compared with last year the
season is generally two to three
weeks earlier, and about a week in
