Under this system the county organization which plays host provides a site for a "tented city," land for plowing and park- ing, tractors and teams for com- petitors, the necessary public util- ities and a prize award banquet for 1000 guests.

"During recent years the prize more attention has been given to classes for juniors," Mr. Lashley said. "The introduction of the inter - secondary school class has proved popular. This gives teach- ers in agriculture an opportunity to work with students interested in the use of farm maciiaery, and the plowing match: serves as an achievement day for those wishing to learn more about the operation of the plow. Two stu- dents are chosen from each school and the awards are made on a team basis. "The inter-county competition has been a popular feature of the Internationa! for many years," said Mr. Lashley.
