SEES IMPROVEMENT

Judge. W. W. Baird of Amherst. who has made the plncings since the plowing match was inaugurat- ed. was warm in his praise of the itrnctor plowing.

"There has been a wonderful im- provcmcnt from year to year par- ticularly among the young boys and girls." he stated. Mr. Baird added that there were two or three girls ,ploWing who would put I'I'laT.'I men to shame.

It was evident. he was rafcrriniz to Florence Matheson of Albion Cross who won the Ladies Cham- pionship for tractor. plowing, Hilda Jones of Pow-nal who competed in the Provincial Championship for ,the men. and Mrs. Lloyd MacLeod of Cardigan, RR. 5.

Mr. Baird noted that mechanized plowing has been taking the bulk of the interest at the plowing match and he also noted that while tractor plowing had 1mpr0v- ed. horse plowing had slipped.

He commented upon the remark- able growth of the show and the great interest shown by the people in the plowing and in the live- stock exhibits.

At the end of the match yester- day evening awards were present- .ed to the winners by the President of the Plowing Match. Mr. Leslie Hunter. Mr. Neil Mathrson, M.P. for Queens, spoke briefly.

By this time the plowing had been finished. Twenty - year - old Flor-cm-e Matheson. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mntheson, had won the Ladies Plowing Cham- pionship earller in the day.

On the previous day Miss Mathe- son had competed in the tractor 2- sod event and placed sixth among the seventeen male contestants.

It was the second time that Taylor had competed in this event. Two years ago he was runner-up in this class. He didn't try last year as he felt he couldn't plow ivell enough but yesterday he de- eided e would give it another try.

Yesterday evening after most of the crowd had left the grounds the president Mr. Hunter recalled that the Plowing M.-itch originated

from a war-time effort to raise funds, "We had a Carry on Canada

Corps during the war and we used to go round from place to place with entertainments to raise funds ,for defence purposes. We decided .l.o start a plowing match RS a means of raising funds and the an- nual event proved so successful that we continued and expanded it." he stated.
