FROM UNITED ATES
Even if plowing itself was omitted
from the program, the International
Match would still be very much worth-
while, Gordon McGavin, vice-president
of the Ontario Plowman's Association
told members of the Lions Club on
Monday night. It was a double -fea-
ture night for Mr. McGavin, for in.
.addition• to addressing the club, he
win Welcomed as a new menaber. The
club also welcomed) John C. Crich as
a new member, both being introduced
by Lion C. A. Barber.
,
Oh -airman. of the meeting was Lion
E. C Boswell, while Dr. M. W. Stap-
leton was assistant. During the pro-
gram an enjoyable solo was contribut-
ed by Mr. D. L. Reid.
'Discussing various aspects.' of the
big plowing match, which comes to
Huron next October, the speaker re-
called beneficial results that have
come as a result of the match—results
that mean dollars and cents to the
fawners of the district As an exam-
ple, he told of .imprNenents ' that
have been made to plows with result-
ing lessened costs for gasoline to run
the. tractor drawing them. In the
early days of ploWing by tractor, it
was customary to strike the land and
finish it with a team. Now as a re-
sult of improved. equipment, the
whole job is done by tractor.
Mr. McGavin, who conducted two
prize winners on a trip through. West-
ern Canada and the States) last sum-
nier, predicted that next year the trip
would be won by Huron boys. The
trip proved to him, he said, that there
was no better agricultural district in
Canada than.in Huron and Perth with
the possible exception uncertain parts
of British, Columbia, but there land
cost $250.00 an acre.
A champion plowman himself, the
(Continued on Page 4)
of proving farm
income, in addition to the regular
radio forum broadcast.
The general concensus of opinion
seemed to be 'that average farm Ili'-
ing standards *ere far too poor, that
the econonaic position of farmers WAS
worse than it *as 10 to 15 years ago,
and that the average farm income was
not adequate to cover operating and
living expenses. Seeking to fled rea-
sons for these unfavorable conditions
the groups deckled, that the fact that
farm prices were not on a par with
industrial prices ,and wages paid to
organized labor was the main cause
for the inferior economic position of
agriculture.
In discussing "price ceilings," 1111
groups were unanimous, in the opin-
ion that such measures would affect
farmers -adversely due again to farm
prices not being on a par with com-
modity prices. The tendency • in this
section was to centre on egg priees,
due to the fact that it was thought
that the export price on eggs would
net. the farmer only about 21 to 22c
per dozen. A majority of those pres-
ent expressed the opinion that a bon-
us should be pail on export eggs in
order to insure production and more
encouraging returns to ." -the poultry-
man.
Meetings next week' will be held at
the homes 01 Mr. Elden Kerr on Mon-
day night, Ad Mr William Oldfield
on Tuesday night.
Tod -ay I watched the reddening -sky,

Yet men and maids pay little heed,
