Need For Uniformity In Plowing Rules After watching two 'British plow- ing matches and checking on the types of plows used, I am quite con- vinced that we cannot expect too much of our boys until We either change our plows to conform to the old country type or have the boys come over a week in advance to practice with the plows used here. The type of plows used and the method of scoring as compared with Alvin Mark and Wilbert McFaddin the Salada horse plowmen, were en- tered in a small general-purpOSe class and both succeeded in winning priZes. Alvin came first and Wilbert fourth. Alvin had difficulty with his team at first for one of the horses had been yoked to a plow only a few days be- fore. However, after cutting- his first six furrows, he was complete master of his horses. The ground at Working is quite different from Cornwall, being hilly rather than flat. So rolling- were the fields that our boys in the horseâ€" drawn classes couldn’t see from one end of the field to the other. The soil was different too. Instead of the light loam of the Cornish earth, the Workington soil was dark and heavy and full of stones. ‘ Three tractors used in the test broke down in the rough ground. Our boys, using- strange horses and cractors and competing against Eng- land’s best plowmen, were under a serious handicap. Realizing this and in an effort to make the events more competitive, the committee suggested the classes they should enter. This of course was a.wise move. It was early when we reached the field but even so there were a good number already there. We could see that these ,English plowmen really take their plowing seriously. Later. we diseovered that 65 had entered the competition. Stabling and large barns are not necessary in Cornwall due to the uni- form mild weather and this of course cuts down very much on the cost of operation. In the winter months, cattle are fed in the fields and truck loads of turnips, cabbage, hay and straw are spread mm the fields at inâ€" tervals during the day. The Empire Plowing Match We reached Workington the follow- mg evening after a journey of 600 miles. Needless to say we were pret- ty tired but after a good night’s rest the boys and I were up early and ready to stayt for the plowing fields. Before leaving for Workington we were entertained at a fal'eWell din- ner by the hospitable residents of Newquay. The cattle are said to be good beef cattle and produce fair quantities of high testing milk. averaging about 4 per cent. We had our first look at the Northern Devon cow, which is a popular breed in this part of the country. It is a very large animal resembling our short horn breed only larger. , We were impressed with the size of the Cornish farms, which seem to be Larger than farms in other parts of England. The average is around three to four hundred acres. Each farm has four or five tractors and men to operate them as Well as all the latest types of farm machinery. Farming in Cornwall Adding to the charm and beauty of the Cornish countryside are the well-kept farms with their hedges and fences made of stone and earth with shrubbery growing along the top. Many of the hedges are said to be four or five hundred years old. In addition to the Northern Ireland Match, the Canadians have been am- ong the prize winners at two other plowing matches â€" the West Engâ€" land Champion Plowing Match at Newquay, Cornwall and the Empire Plowing Match at Workington, Eng- land. Alvin Mark and Rhys Bacher came second and third in their res- pective classes at the West England Match and Alvin Mark and Wilbert McFaddin placed first and fourth res- pectively in a general purpose horse plowing class at the Empire Plowing Working-ton: Following: the West England Plowing Match in Newquay, Cornwall, the boys and I toured the surrounding countryside before leav- ing for the Empire Plowing Match at Workington in the north of England. At Workington for the second time within a few days Canadians were among the prize winners at a British Our travels of the past few days have accordingly given us an opporâ€" tunity to see and contrast farming;~ conditions in southern and northern England. _ - Match plowing maich The winners. Alvin J. Mark of Cameron, near Lindsay, who also won the Visitor’s Cup, Robert Tim- bers of Stouf’fville, near Toronto and Rhys Baa-her of Hagersville, near Hamilton, placed first, second and third respectively in their class which was one of seven events at the meet. They are three of the five Canadian farmers who were awarded a trip to Britain at the International Plowing Match held at Lindsay, Ont.,' last Oc- tober. Editor's Note: This is the third of a series of weekly stories which El- liott Moses, a director of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, is writing about the visit of Canada’s champion plowmen to the British Isles.

During our tour of the lake district, we had lunch at Keswick, af- ternoon tea at a fashionable summer resort hotel and then finished with a full course dinner at the home of Mr. Bower where the Empire Match was held. Now we are wondering what meals would be like over here with- out rationing. ' My next letter will be from Scot- land and I hope to have information about agricultural conditions there which will interest Canadian farmers. NEW REGULATIONS letter so I don‘t feel I need to say anything- .more about it except that none of our party had ever witnessed such a sight and we were greatly im- pressed with the “(hole performance. Our boys are wearing plaid shirts and caps to match and as they are not worn over here, the school child- ren were as much attracted by them as they were by my Indian regalia. In addition to his plaid shirt and cap Alvin is also wearing his home town (Cameron) hockey sweater with the crest on the front and the figure 13‘) in a large circle on the back. We were greatly amused to hear an elâ€" derly farmer tell his friend that the nrmher showed that Alvin had been :1 prisoner of war. The boys who visited the industries were shown through a steel plant and a modern woollen mill. The woollen mill is only partly in operation but when it is completed the people say it will be one of the finest of its kind in the world. Working'ton's biggest industry is coal mining. We had hoped to go down into a mine but unfortunately We did not have sufficient time. Tour Of'The Lake District The day following the Empire Match, we were taken‘. on a sightseeâ€" ing tour-10f, thevvfa "d lake district: which in 'mhny r éts'“ resembles our own northern Ontario country. We followed somewhat the same itinerary as last year’s group and like them were privileged to see a demonstra- tion of sheep dogs at work on Hel- vellyn Mountain. Mr. Clarke desâ€" cribed this scene in last year’s news- ‘L‘he Empire Plowing Match ended with the annual dinner at which the mayor and townspeople joined the farmers in honoring our Canadian party. The people here have been wonderful to us and I only hope we can do as much for the English plow- men when they visit Canada. British l’lowmen To Visit Canada So far, owing to currency regula- tions, English and Scottish plowmen have not been able to compete in Canadian mowing matches. Last fall. a team from Northern Ireland entered the International Match at Lindsay and this was the first time that a team from the British Isles had ever competed in this Canadian event. Now the Empire Plowing; As- sociation has started a fund to send their best men to compete in Cana- dian matches. They have warned us too, that they will be out to win and from the excellent plowing I have seen in this area, we would do well to heed their warning. English School Children Admire Canadian Plowing Castutre On our tour of the Workington district, we split into two groups. Rhys Bacher, Wilbert McFaddin and Bob Timbers visited the city’s indus- tries while Alvin Mark and I were taken to four of the public- schools to show, in Alvin’s case, the dress of a Canadian plowman, and in my case. an Indian Costume.
