6-Horse Hitch Used in Old Plowing Match
By NEIL A. MATHESON ProvincialJ-‘arm Editor
I TALKED this week with Duncan MacPhail. Cornwall who so years ago won a plowing match in Gavan. Saskatchewan that featured six-horse teams hitched to two-bottom riding plows that turned .‘8 inches With the two furrows.
People who watched the county, provincial and Canadian plowing matches here the past week or so saw plowmen work With lands that were very short. But Mr MacPhail and his op.

ponean ploughed lands that were up to one mile long. Some of the com-petitions were at one half mile lengths,
Could you really keep your furrow straight over such a tremendous distance? I asked Mr. MaePhail. and the answer was an unqualified “Yes. I go he ze for the straightest MacP‘hail who observed his lead team of

Four of the horses travelled abreast of each other. The other land pair were in front of the two iihe four-horse hitch. The team be Ontario stoncmason who went west to homestead. but Dunc did the plowing.
The mile-long furrows meant that MacPhalil and his team made four rounds. or eight miles in the forenoon. and the same number in the afternoon. he told me. The plow.wise would turn at the end of the long round themselves. as so many old time horsemen remember their teams would do here when they farmed with horses. 4 eiy plowed around five acres a day with tine six-horse hitch and the wide-cutting two bottom plow. Mr. MacPhail told me. Govan was about 60 miles north of Regina.
Producer Of Plowing Champions
SO CORNWALL has long been a producer of pic-wing champ tons. Stanley Willis of Cornwall leaves today for usttria to compete in world plowing competition after winning the Cana- dian championship in year ago
Bany Wilson and Harold Godfrey, both of Cornwall. are the provincial champion and e nmnemp this year.

Jehovah’s Witnesses To Present Special Film
Donald M o f f e tt. presiding minister of the Charlottetown congregation of Jehovah’s Wit- nesses, said yesterday that a free two-hour color film will be presented Saturday, Sept. 19 as a spe 2131 feature of the three day assembly of Jehovah‘s Wit- nesses scheduled for this week- end at the Prince County Voca- tional High School, Summerside. The film is entitled: “Proclaim- ing the Everlasting Good News Around the World."
According to Mr. Moffett, the

“This film is not just a tra- velogue.“ Mr. Moffett said. “al- though it shows scenes in 22 countries and 36 cities and many highlights of this unusual as- sembly.

Carl Willis—the son of Mr. and Mrs, Stanley Willis——he lives now in Charlottetown~won the Maritime championship class Tuesday afternoon with a five-point margin on the field. and he was one of the favorites yesterday to take the Canadian title.

Those who were betting on Cart to come through with t honors were looking to his performance under pressure in the world match in Northern Ireland in 1959 when he placed third against the best plowmen in the world.
Many of the plowmen at Brudenell were interested in the plow that Allison Briggs. ster Rock. . was using. A mounted plow has not been considered in a class with trailer plows in the past for the detailed work of match plowing. But
e New Brunswick man was using the same make of mounted plow that was used try world champion Ingve Mansson of Sweden when he won the crown in 196*.
Mounted Plow Attracts Attention
THE KVERNELANDS plow, a "Hydrene special". was just about the slickest thing on the field for handling. and Stan Willis was high on the implement, though he won th title a year ago with a Ransome plow and same type 0

Mr, Briggs is New Brunswick distributor for the European- built Kvernelands. and he‘s high on its operation. though he was no higher than fourth in the Maritime match Tuesday.
Clark Young. Unionlvale. Ontario who was one of the judges
the Canadian match this week. reiterated what Edwtn Millie. Bay Fortune told me last week at Dundaa. "They're not building trailer plows anymore. it's becoming increasingly difficult to get such plows for match competition."
Mr. Young told me, too, that mounted plows have won the mid title in the past me years. so that pretty well removes
stigma om the mounted , .
Incidentally Stanley Willis and Hugh Bonny of Ontario were
first men to ng Ramme plows to Canada. Stan told me this week. Bonny and Carl Willis used the plows in the match in Northern Ireland in '50.
