Horses were still in general use 25 years ago and the compe- tition was virtually all among men with horse-drawn equip ment. They still advertise mat- ches for horse-drawn plows at Dundas

On Wednesday, for example, they have scheduled competi- tions for gang plow, senior and single furrow, novice. On Thurs- day there is a class for single- furrow plows which is open to all comers Albert Acorn, Primrose, who has been secretary of the asso- ciation for ma years, won the first tractor class, and he re calls that in those early years tractor plowing was such a no- velty that spectators would flock to see the tractor competition Nearly all of the competitors are for tractor classes now, though Dundas has managed to keep competition... for...horse...drawn equipment from fading out of the picture entirely
