A. Carroll, Secretary-Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, in the form of an unprecedented num- ber of applications for e-xhibition space in that concession area. yThis year's 'Tented City', as the area is always known," stated Mr. Carroll, "will house the largest and most complete /exhibitjon of farm implements and equipment that haS ever been assembled in Canada. He said that the committee had found it necessary to revise the ground pla» for the 'Tented City," so that it could readily be expanded to accommodate the many exhibitors who were applying for space. More than 30 industrial and agricultural organizations had been granted con- cessions, Mr. Carroll stated, as well as a great many to concessionaries whose chief concern would be to see that the vast throng of 100,000 persons who will attend the match are well fed. Of the many new features being I introduced at this year's match which | are expected to attract wide interest i and attention, Mr. Carroll remarked, are the demonstrations to be given by ex-champion plowmen and Dr. E. S. Hopkins, chief of field husbandry for the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. The plow demonstrations by ex- perienced match plowmen and capable demonstrators, will be conducted each day near the match headquarters. Differences between types of plows will be explained and plow settings will be discussed and actually demon- strated. This year will be the first time this feature has been included on the program of the International Match, Mr. Carroll pointed out. Land will be provided at a conven- ient location on which manufactui"ers will demonstrate agricultural imple- ments of every description and the "exercise paddock" for high spirited but controllable tractors will again be a feature of interest. Multiple-hitch demonstration.<!. con- sisting of three to five horses working in one team, properly hitched and driven, will be given each afternoon and the different operations exhibited by competent experts. to place the proposed memorial in the Memorial Park, the logical place, and that the committee secure new plans for a memorial to cost within the amount donated. It is regretted that the proposed amount of $1000 could not be reached, as the memorial at that price was a splendid one. Fol- lowing is a completed list of those who have donated. Apy further amount will be welcomed, Following are the amounts received by the committee. Remembrance Day Collection 1935 I 22 25 Patriotic Fund 44 05 Mrs. C. E.
