interment in salem cemetery pickering farmers hold plowing bee for ailing neighbor the rumble of tractors as they swept along the pickering country roads was reminiscent of an armor ed column going into battle but their mission was that of produc tion instead of destruction as they converged on one point and one by one turned into the long lane which led to the white farm house harry w boyes wellknown pickering farmer who recently re turned home from hospital found that he was unable to complete his fall ploughing a situation which was causing him much anxiety due to the scarcity of available farm help then the neighbors stepped in they organized a ploughing bee and shortly after nine oclock one morn ing ten tractors with plows arrived on the scene stopping only long enough to en joy an oldfashioned harvest dinner served by the farmers wife the men carried on until three oclock in the afternoon when twentyfive acres had been turned over much to the relief and delight of the owner who was able to catch glimpses of activities from the house window at one time nine tractors were at work in the same field and twenty- two furrows were being turned simultaneously- the incident is indicative of the type of neighborliness to be found in rural districts diiected by e l chapman for mer reeve of pickering township who organized the bee and drove his own tractor the machines
