secretaryman ager of the ontario plowmens association warned the lindsay association at a meeting in the council chamber in that town that many difficulties would be encoun tered in holding the 194s inter national plowing match in lindsay and suggested there would be many disadvantages with having the headquarters and exhibits of the match at the fair grounds and the plowing upwards of a mile to a mile and a half away he told the members that the size of the match depended largely on two factors the enthusiasm of the members of the local associa tion and that the people in the com munity must realize in time just how large a job it is he said the men on the committees had to be the right men for the right jobs and that as far as basic facilities for a plowing match are concerned those in lindsay were as good as could be found anywhere he stressed the importance of feeding and billeting he said there could quite easily be an attendance in excess of 100000 and this would mean many meals he suggested church and other womens organ izations be interested in serving fill course meals he said this was a wonderful way for them to make money the provincial association does all the clerical work and advertis ing while the local group supplies hydro telephone service water and sometimes teams and tractors he did not know what the conditions would be by october 191s but he said at the last international match at port albert around 100 tractors were needed and about 75 teams mr carroll was introduced by igl8i947j the juuzing denupmi 100 years ago two good men with a cradle and rake could cut and bind three acres of grain in a day then there still remained the laborious task of threshing the grain with a flail on the barn floor today one man with a massey- harris selfpropelled combine can cut and thresh up to 50 acres in a day just think of the tedious back- breaking labor in cultivating seeding harvesting and threshing which the farmer of today escapes through the use of modern farm machinery the development of labor- saving farm machinery in which masseyharris has played a lead ing part since 1847 has had an important bearing on our daily lives before 1830 the farmer pro duced mostly for himself and his family today he raises crops chiefly to sell the huge increase in farm production brought about by farm machinery during the last century has been an important factor

to be standard ized which in this case would mean that the mexican infan tryman would carry the same ealifbre rifle as the canadian and the machineguns mount ed on canadian tanks would lire the same size ammunition as those used by mexican or south american machine gun ners but in ottawa it was stressed that canada has not been approached on the matter and though the canadian mili tary program
