OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER & PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL
Toronto, April 17th, l 9 4 o.
Over the years the International Plowing Match has proved its worth to our agricultural industry by promoting good fellowship, stimulating crop production and generally building toward the more pro gressive and more prosperous Ontario in which we all are so vitally interested. Now, dark and difficult days lie ahead. The Empire looks more and more our way for food supplies without which no war can be fought to a suc cessful conclusion. There can be no failing her. To the tremendous effort that must be ours the Ontario Plowmen's Association, I am confident, will give gladly, unreservedly, of the spirit and drive and organization that have in peacetime earned such an enviable re putation for its annual demonstration. Naturally, I am pleased that my home county has been honoured as the locale for this year's match. Elgin people can be counted on to do everything possible to make the event a memorable one. To all who plan HON. MITCHELL F. HEPBURN to attend, I extend a most cordial welcome. Prime Minister

AN INVITATION We, in the Historic County of Elgin, esteem it an honor to be hosts to the Officials, Plowmen and visitors attend ing this great Agricultural event. As Warden of Elgin, on behalf of the County Council, may I extend a most cordial and sincere welcome. Our County, situated midway between Windsor and Niagara Falls, is proud of its reputation as one of the best diversified Agricultural areas in Western Ontario. In the east of Elgin, the visitor will find many fine dairy farms, and in the west end are some of the best beef producing herds and mixed farms. Scattered throughout the County on suitable soil types are many specialized farms, producing such crops as fruit, beans, sugar beets, and tobacco. Of special interest to guests will be the recently developed military centre, the former Ontario Hospital, now occupied by the R.C.A.F. as a Technical Training School, and secondly, the Bombing and Gunnery School being develope:l. at the Fingal Airport. In this critical war year, may I express the hope that your presence in our midst will serve to consolidate our faith in Agriculture, and Democracy, thus ensuring to our descendants a future as free peoples in this Great British Empire. Again a Hearty Welcome, a Pleasant Visit and a Happy Memory. CLARENCE PATTERSON, Warden of Elgin County.
