The plowing bee was a lively one
A pretty heroine, the prettiest kind of scenery and natural acting will all be found in this picture which tells a romance in rural settings. The best man at plowing was to take the farmer-hotelkeeper's daughter to the barn dance; she seemed to be worth trying for, too. The peculiar form that this contest to prove the best man took (plowing) was her idea. Her father was worried about getting his fifty-acre lot plowed. There were guests at the hotel and there were young men of the village anxious for the honor and eager to be the best man. The plowing bee was a lively one. The man who won was a city chap and a guest at the hotel. The girl's father didn't like him at first. He proved to be an agricultural expert from the Department of Agriculture. So he won his pretty bride. There are many characters pictured around this central situation and there are lively incidents, one a runaway horse, which was conducted to seem like the real thing. It is a commendable picture. - The Moving Picture World, January 6, 1912
