To give sections of the province an opportunity to participate, the lo- cation is rotated throughout the province from year to year, at the invitation of the various counties. Under this system the county or- ganization who plays host has a great deal of work to do with the "International". They provide the site tor the "Tented City", land for plowing, a county grant, the necessary public utilities, tractors and teams as required, and a com- plimentary prize award banquet for over 1,000 guests. They re- ceive, to help defray expenses, the revenue from admissions at 50 cents for each person, vehicle free. The administration of the match and details of the events are handled by the provincial as- sociation which receives the pro- ceeds from frontage charges. As in the case with most successful farm events, the spirit of co-oper- ation plays an important part in making the International Plow- ing Match and Farm Machinery l?eTyys.tra.titrn the great event that it is today. . with Tom Netty u, in.
