It's plowing match time again and the Queens County Match Is scheduled for the farm of Jim Robertson, Alexamdra, on Satur- day of this week. The Dundas match — it's also a big agricul- tural fair — will be held on Wed- nesday and Thursday of next week _ September 8 and 9

And that reminds me that the Kings County people did not af- filiGte with the Provincial Plow- ing Council this year. They qult | the council tast year during an argument arising from a sharp difterence of opinion on the‘ sch-/ ‘eduling of the Canadian Plow-~ {ng Championship match last | year — it was held at Brudenell, on the land of the government park there

'CANARIES KEPT FLYING

I heard a story at a farm con- ference here this year that I want to pass along

Dr. R.S. MacLachlan, Ottawa, was speaking to the Canadian Seed Growers. Association here. The director of the plant protec- tion division, Canada Depart- ‘ment of Agriculture, had that in this modern age, scien- tists and college professors, are called on. for help in finding |some of the answers to the pro- jblems of developing eyer im- ‘proving seed. But sometimes, he observed, even the college pro- fessors do not have all the an- swers. That was his introduction to the ‘story; and it “goes ~some- thing like this:

It seems a college greteane travelling on the highway found he was following a man with a small truck, who was acting strangely. Every ‘half-: | mile. or so; the truck driver would stop the vehicle, grab a ‘funk of a two-by-four stick from the cab and whack the side of the truck a couple of times. Then he would go around and whack the other “side of the “truck box, then

HORSES OF THE PAST

Many of the’ stories I come across in my research of earlier years on Prince Edward Island, tell of the care that was exercis- ed to bring good, really good Stallions and mares to this pro- vince. And it did pay off; Island horses developed a reputation that lasted as long as the horse was used for farm work and transportation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Often | Hubert H. Humphrey will! pause in a prepared speech, grin [cheerfully and burst out with: | “What a magnificent time to | be alive!”

The United States vice-presi- dent will add:

“Yes, our problems are greater—but so is our knowl- edge. What an excitifig time!”

For Humphrey looks on prob- lems as a hunter looks on game: Something to be syste- matically sought out and enthu- siastically shot down.

“What will be the gut issues of the future?"’ An admiring as- sociate asked Humphrey re- | cently.

“They'll. centre around cities jand around our long term de- ! fence posture,’ Humphrey said.

His face brightened — at’ the thought of so many still unen- | Visaged problems. worry,” . he said reasuringly. |“There are many big issues | ahead of us.”

Millions. of Americans are ‘comforted, millions are fright- ened and all are tied to the fol- lowing political facts of life and death: Hubert Horatio Hum- iphrey is but a heartbeat away lfrom being responsible for the | solation of the problems facing | the nation—and =seneee Jo- son has had a severe heart tack, in 1955.

Being vice-president can be a sticky business.

The Johnson-Himphrey setup has a flaw: What Lyndon gave, Lyndon can take away. Ag Humphrey himself has put it: “You're the.kind of a vice president that the president wishes you to be.”
