Iioii ililAli derziuy hilttzili during tin OCT 10 1950 0w ISSUE Proper tillage of the soil has always been first requisite good farming However after more than century or use mmios landsnave reached the stage when proper land use has become one of our most important projects The farmer must see to it that not only must his soil continue to produce the must also protect it from erosion and loss of fertility failure to do this could mean complete loss Plowing is an important phase of this soil conservation programme and am glad to see such keen interest in the great annual International Plowing

KENNEDY Ontario Minister of Agriculture Contour Plowing Matches Newmarkct Era and Express There are competitions in contour plowing as well as level plowing at some of the matches in the United States There4 is possibility that contour plowing will be included in the International Matches in the future but pressrcleasc quotes Mr ACarroll secretary manager of the Ontario Plowmens Association as saying that it is generally agreed that good plowman on level land work would also be good contour plowman and that the main part of the work for such competition would fall on the engineers in laying out the fields for contour plowing The International Matches are primarily concerned with pitting one plowman against the other The educational and promotional aspects of the matches are more recent dcvclop merits Mr Carrolls estimate of the value of contour plowing makes sense when applied to the competition only but it is limited estimate in the light of the great educational op portunities the matches now offer The value of contour plowingcompetitions is not so much in the rivalry of the plowmen but in making those attending the matches more conscious ofcontour plowing as means of wultln
