and gain the confidence of his team,
for no man can do good blowing with
out the confidence and cooperation Of
his team.
A half day was set aside for the
contest, and all three classes, that is,
the Freshmen, Junior and Senior
classes, competed for the prizes. These
were, a sulky pillow for first prize,
hand pillow for second prize and ten
dollars in cash for the third prize.
These prizes were furnished by one
of the leading plow concerns Of the
United States gratuitously.
In scoring, expert plowmen who
have been with the University Farm
for years, acted as judges. A standard
of excellence was established. Twelve
points were given on the dead fur
row." fifteen points on straightness
of burrows; eight points on ms and
outs at ends; fifteen points on depth
and width of burrows; ten points on
eyenness of top OF land; thirty points
on the covering OF weeds and ten
noints on the finish. Time was not
taken into consideration in scoring.

farm team and a plow. He had to adj
