If judged by Canadian rules we mith have had two or three firsts but the British have their own plowing methods that differ from ours. This is not meant to he an .excuse. 6We realized all along- that British standards and equipments would be different and everything); considered the boys did very well. They took hold‘ of strange equipment (the .plowmen here still favour the High Cut plow for match work al- though they use very little of it on their farms) and -tried to adjust it to Canadian techniques. They did not attempt to copy the British me- thods since that would have been im- possible in such a short time. Empire Plowing Match The day of the match dawned blusâ€" tery and. unpromising. Light rain fell at intervals 'but fortunately not enough to cause any serious incon- venience. Last year, as youlwill re- member, plowing' matches in England and Ireland had to he called off due to the unusually severe weather. Some 50 contestants took part in the Workington match and in spite of the weather, a large crowd of spectators gathered. The scene was much the same as one of our best :branch matches. The tractors slight- ly outnumbered the horses. The land was of a gravelly nature but in good shape to- plow as far as moisture was concerned. was concerned. All the events were well contestâ€" ed and in most of them the winners were from the northern counties in England. John came second in his class to a chap from Carlisle. After the match, we were guests of the Workington Agricultural So- ciety at a dinner held| in our honour. We heard a number of interesting speeches including an address hy Canon Croft, on the history of the Working'ton Agricultural Society. Prefacing his remarks with an anec- dote, the Canon, who is a vice-presi- dent of the Society. told us that the experiments in til-ling the soil had not been too suca-essful â€" little more so in fact than the man who when asked how hi potatoes grew said‘: “Well, there are some as big as pmanbles, and some as big as peasâ€"and of course, a lot of little Constable Charles McGlade of York County police was elected president of York County Police As- sociation at the annual meeting.

He is the idol of the people here and wherever we go he is the centre of attraction. During the contest. which was held at Stainb'urn Hall Farm, Workington, crowds', followed him up antltdown the field. The officials offered to hold them back but John said noâ€"it didn’t ‘bother him. Afterwards, the school child- ren vied with one another to get his autograph. pire PlOWlI‘lg‘ Match is over, I would like to tell you something about the contest itself.

Musical entertainment was provid- ed during the evening and our own Alf Bl‘unton sang amidst great ap- plause. To quote from the Cumber- land Evening Star, Alf “created a furore with Apple Blossom Weddâ€" ing He concluded his talk with a tri- bute to the Canadian people, touch- ing- briefly on the part, they played in the Boer War, World War I and World War II and emphasizing- the contributions they are making in ag- riculture in the post-war period. Canon. Croft then compared the present period in England with the year 1808 when the Workington Ag- ricultural Society came into being. Then, as today, there was a short- age of food. The population had in- creased from 7,000,000 to 14,000,000 and England had to imp1'0ve her agâ€" riculture or starve._ -ljrlérltishViafifieâ€"ré‘inet the challenge in 1808, they can do it 'again,” said the Canon. - probably be interested to the plowing match, in being; filmed by newsreel HIE IIYIIG-ELEGTIIIG POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO ° ipalities and direct customers of the Commission in the n ario System.
