Taig TO Misrsa ggsnsr MILLS Another journey which was taken by the boys was a trip to Master Feeds Mills' in Toronto. The bus left the school at 9:00 o'clock with a full days activities planned ahead for the students. DENNIS 'OOD5 kept the bus rocking with laughter The first stop was at the feed mills on the lakeshore in Toronto. Workers at the mill were appointed as escorts for two groups of the boys. They were taken to the very top of the mills where they could look out onto Toronto Island. Also at this time a boat was being loaded with grain. The boys were shown through parts of the mills like the ex- perimental laboratory, the bag filling section and also the part where dog biscuits were made. At this time RAYIOND DOUPE was given some samples but later decided he did not like them. Many of the students were offered samples but they refused. Dinner was next served in the cafeteria free of charge. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After dinner was served, the bus drove over to the Master Feeds Experimental Farms a few miles outside of Toronto. When driving through the city HILLIS VILBUR and JIM AIRD acted as narrators for some of us as this was familiar ground to'thQm, On arrival the visitors book was signed by all pupils. Next a cattle judging contest was held from which RORERT TAYLOR received ten dollars for first prize. Finally just for good luck iCBERT TAYLOR won the pig judging contest prize. After inspecting the fox pens, turkey pens and egg- grading stations we boarded the bus and started home. MR. STARDING, MR. GOHL, and MR. BRINTNELL accompanied the boys on this very enjoyable trip.

aw' I . . 1 ' ONTARIOWCCUNTY PLOUGHING MATCH - .E V - Y Several practice sessions and classes were attended before the day of the match. At one of these classes HUGH BAIRD came to the school with his plough and showed us how to set it and how to do a proper job of ploughing. The following Saturday we went to thezfarm of M . J. TRAN near Claremont to try our hand at competition ploughing. MR. RYE BEARE and MR. TIMBERS were there to again show us how to use our ploughs to achieve the best results. After several more practice sessions we were ready for the day of the match which was held in September, at the farm of DAVE EDWARDS, Saintfield. We started work that morning at 9:30 and most of us took till A:3O p.m. to finish our lands. The lands were judged and that night the results were made known to us at the Plough an's Banquet in Greenbank United Church. There were four boys in the class in which JOHN SOMMERVILLE and I ploughod and we ploughed fourth and second respectively. After a hearty and well-earned meal, several speeches and some very fine entertainment, the trophies and prize money were awarded to the winners. This event brought to a close a very interesting and yet tiring day at the Ontario County Ploughing Match. I wish to express thanks to all those people who assisted JOHN and I in preparing for the match and especially I wish to thank MR. GORDON MORRCW who provided a new plough, free of charge, for our use at the competition. JIM WILKINSON TRIP TO THE PLOUGHINQ MATCH On October the eighth a bus load of boys from grades 9, lO, ll, 12, and 13 had the pleasure of taking a trip to the International Ploughing Match which was held at Cobourg, Ontario. We left at 9 a.m. on a chartered bus, accompanied by MR. GOHL. We arrived at the Ploughing match at ll:3O a.m. ' The World Ploughing Match was also held here, and it was very interesting to see the ploughmen from other countries and their equipment. This year they had classes for Contour Ploughing, and showed how contour ploughing helps to prevent soil erosion. We saw the newest farm machinery which were designed for modern farming. RON McINTYRE, JIM WILKINSON and I rode on one of the wagons drawn by a tractor up to a field to see some ploughing. JIM WILKINSON was interested in seeing HUGH BAIRD plough. DAVID JACKSON was interested inthe new farm machinery. We left the Ploughing Match for home at 5 p.m. and arrived in Port Perry at about 6:30 p.m. We all enjoyed the trip very much. RONALD PARROTT

There was a dog show which attracted many admirers and also a square dance contest. In the afternoon a horse show was put on before a packed house. Many skillful riders participated with horses of equal ability. When all of the things to be seen had been seen some of the students ventured uptown to a show or a restaurant. The bus came to take us home around 5:00 o'clock. Although everyone was worn down to the last straw there was still sing- ing and hollering on the way home with the use of MARIE AFDERSONYS song sheet.
