About 50 cars transported the men from farm to farm. All brought their lunches and enjoyed eating them on the 240 acre Boyd Conservation Area near Woodbridge. At Mel Whitchurch’s the party was given a demonstration of Mel’s invention, a device for ma- king use of meta-bisulphate as a hay preservative and its applica- tion.

Gordon McGillvary's farm was the next point of call and here they witnessed a baler and drain- age demonstration. At Gilbert Agar's farm on Lot 23 east side of the 10th conces- sion, they saw a soil and land use demonstration conducted by Dr. D. M. Huntly of the Soils De- partment, Ontario Agricultural College.
