Unraveling the History of the Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association Trophy Recently the Manitoba Agricultural Museum became aware of a trophy that appeared in a Value Village that may be of some interest. A photo of the trophy generated enough interest that one of the Museum’s volunteers investigated the find. The trophy consists of a large cup with two handles, on a round wood base. It is inscribed with, “Presented By Jesse Wright to the Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association for a Gang Plowing Competition.” This text surrounds an image of a four horse team pulling a two bottom gang plow inscribed into the trophy. Overall the trophy is quite striking. On the reverse side of the cup is inscribed, “Won By Bert Bloxom June 19th 1919, Bert Bloxom June 18th 1920, Bert Bloxom June 3rd 1921.” The names Clegg and Dunston held no meaning for the members of the Interpretation Committee at the Museum but as it was likely the names referred to places in Manitoba, a member searched the internet for Clegg, Manitoba and found a Manitoba Historical Society listing for a Clegg school as a Manitoba historical site in the RM of Thompson. A search for Dunston, Manitoba was also carried out and found a Manitoba Historical Society listing for a Dunston Community Hall as a Manitoba historical site in the RM of Thompson. So it appears that the Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association was active in the RM of Thompson. However no further information on the Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association could be found. Now that the Interpretation Committee had a location, a digital copy of the RM of Thompson history book was accessed. However, there was no mention of a Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association. Neither was there any mention of a Bert Bloxom or a Jesse Wright. So the search was expanded. A member of the Interpretation Committee examined Ancestory.Com records and found that a Bert Bloxom was listed as farming in the RM of Pembina in 1921. So digital copies of the various history books written on localities in the RM of Pembina were examined. As well the trail led to the RM of Stanley so the various history books on this municipality were consulted. Finally a listing for the Bloxom family was found. Richard Bloxom was born in 1864 in Omemee, Ontario, married Sarah Cottingham in 1894 and moved with his wife, mother and one brother to a farm near Roland, Manitoba. Richard and Sarah Bloxom had two children, Bert and Sadie. At some point, the Bloxom family purchased a farm near Morden and moved there. In 1918, Bert Bloxom married Gladys Richardson, a school teacher from Clearwater, Manitoba. Bert and Gladys purchased E1/2 21-2-7 and farmed there until 1959 when they sold the farm. They then moved to Morden. Bert and Gladys passed in 1975. The Bloxom family listing also mentions Bert as participating in many plowing matches and judging competitions. In the history book “The Darlingford Saga II” there is a section on the Shadeland and Calf Mountain Plowing Association in the RM of Pembina. This section contains mention of Bert Bloxom. In 1919, Bert Bloxam won the Armstrong Cup which had been donated to the Shadeland and Calf Mountain Plowing Association by Mr. George Armstrong, the MLA for the area at the time of donation. Bert Bloxom went on to win this cup in 1920 and 1921. Bert won the Provincial Cup in 1922. He appears to have been associated with the gang plow and was winning the gang plow class. Mention is made of Bloxam winning awards at other plowing matches. He apparently also served as a judge for some 40 years at the Provincial Plowing Matches. Plowing matches were a somewhat common event in Manitoba and the Manitoba “Agricultural Societies Act” did provide for special grants for plowing matches. Today, agricultural societies in Manitoba are known for operating agricultural fairs. However, initially the intent of the Manitoba government in establishing the 1872 “Act for the Establishment of Agricultural and Arboricultural
Societies in Manitoba”, forerunner to the “Agricultural Societies Act”, was to encourage agriculture, procure new and improved kinds of grain, seeds and animals, award prizes for: animals of the better kind, production of grain and vegetables and for excellence in agricultural products or work. Societies were to work towards the progress and advancement of agriculture in the Province. So agricultural societies undertook various agricultural education activities at the fairs they operated and, at times, ran educational events as standalone events. Plowing associations qualified for grants under the Agricultural Societies Act as plowing matches advanced the issue of excellence in agricultural work. Plowing was the chief method of cultivation in pioneer Manitoba and generally one had to be knowledgeable on setting up a team of horses or a tractor to pull the
plow as well as setting the plow, in order to do a good job of plowing in an efficient manner. Setting a deep tiller properly is an easier process in comparison. Plowing matches were a valuable source of education in plowing. While it is known that plowing matches were held at Stonewall in 1883 and at Portage La Prairie in 1885, provincial records are silent on the number of plowing matches per year in Manitoba until 1911 when records began to be kept. After 1930 plowing match numbers per year fell into the low single digits, which can be explained by the changes in cultivation practices that occurred in Manitoba agriculture due to the drought conditions of the 1930s and the increased interest in other cultivation tools such as the Cockshutt Tiller Combine, cultivators, rod weeders and similar machinery. While the Manitoba Agricultural Museum investigated the trophy, the Museum could not acquire the trophy as the Museum does not purchase artifacts. The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is open year round and for more information visit mbagmuseum.ca.
The Clegg and Dunston Plowing Association Gang Plowing Competition Trophy. The image of a gang plow being drawn by a team of four horses is the centre piece of the trophy and is a wonderfully done example of art that could be accomplished by a skilled engraver. It is not known who engraved this trophy.
