- Scope and Content
- Black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published September 8, 1960 with caption: "Helping Hand- What with trying to get ready for the International Plowing Match and harvesting at the same time, Tom Hume, of R. R. 2, Springfield, on whose farm the big match will centre in October, has his hands full these days. Realizing this, two helpful neighbors turned out Wednesday to help combine Mr. Hume's 60 acres of oats, thereby cutting at least five days off the time normally required for the work. Here, cutting a wide swath through the Hume oat field are Leo Bogart, in the lead combine; Charles Clarke, centre, and Giles Hume (Mr. Hume's son), bringing up the rear. It was expected harvesting would be completed today."
