Properties and People large ticket item purchased and this was paid for by the sale of hay and some red and blue potatoes. Lyle and his wife Pearle (Jay) married in 1930 and raised five children at Tulloch : Roy, Irving, Keir, Beth and Stella. Henry and Lyle farmed until Henry's death in 1951. At that time Lyle's son Irving came home to farm with him. Exhibitions have played a major role in the families lives at Tulloch . Henry was honoured at a supper for having shown continuously at the Provincial Exhibition in Charlottetown for 50 years. Lyle Boswall started exhibiting his first entries of poultry when he was seven years old. In 2000 he was recognized by the Provincial Exhibition Association for continuously being on the list of exhibitors for ninety years. Exhibiting at the Exhibition was quite different from today. One of the key differences was that stock was driven to the fair grounds. Trucking of livestock only became common in the fifties. When trucking later became available, it was common to exhibit 22 head of cattle, a flock of sheep, and considerable entries in the poultry classes. During these years the livestock would be trucked to town two cattle at a time and then at week's end everything had to be hauled back home again. A. Henry Boswall started showing Holsteins but in 1925 shifted to Shorthorns and won many ribbons over the ensuing years. The foundation Shorthorns were bought from John Miller , Ashburn, Ontario . The farm also raised purebred Down sheep and foxes were kept until the early 1940's. A most satisfying win occurred in 1955 at the Provincial Exhibition in Charlottetown when one of the farm's Shorthorn heifers Tulloch Monarch Fashion Leader won the Junior Champion Shorthorn female award in competition with the Cyrus Eaton herd from Pug wash, NS. Mr. Eaton , a famous industrialist and financier, often showed his livestock in the Maritimes and well beyond in the rest of Canada and the States and was considered formidable competition. The silver tray awarded by the Bank of Nova Scotia always held special significance among the other silverware that was won in succeeding years. The cattle competed at the Maritime Winter Fair in with the trip being made by train. In later years the Shorthorns were exhibited at the Winter Fair in Halifax . Tulloch Farm was also involved in showing at the first Easter Beef Show. Lyle Boswall had a heifer entered in the first show and won first place. Seventeen years later in 1968, Stella Boswall showed the Champion 4- H Shorthorn and the Reserve Champion 4-H steer which sold to Melvin Ford for the then grand sum of 460 per pound. Irving Boswall with his wife Margaret Walker , have three children: Brenda, Lome and Sheila. Irving has continued the tradition of raising and exhibiting purebred livestock with wins with both Holstein and Shorthorn cattle and sheep. Tulloch Farm under Irving specialized in Yorkshire swine. In 1970 Irving showed the Grand Champion Yorkshire sow at the Royal Winter Fair. This was the first swine championship ever to come east of Ontario from the Royal Winter Fair. Irving then commenced regularly exhibiting swine at the Royal Winter Fair and in 1992 he swept the Yorkshire swine competition, taking every red ribbon except one. He also won the supreme champion title with his female, and both the premier breeder and premier exhibitor banners. Tulloch Farm like many other farms in the area grew an acreage of potatoes and turnips. The first tractor appeared in the early fifties and some of the machinery and utensils found around the farm at this time were a turnip pulper, a turnip seeder, a grain binder, a potato sprayer, a grain seeder, a grain crusher, a milk separator and a creamer. The landscape of the farm has changed a great deal too over the years. At one time there were a boiler house, a dairy, a pig house, a coach house, a machine shed, a hen house, and a sheep house. The barn itself contained a cow stable, a horse stable, a manure shed, a feed storage area and lofts for the hay and straw. A twister type storm in July of 1975 ripped the roof from a main section of the barn and made repairs impractical. This general type barn was replaced with more specialized modern barns. The farm continues to be an active operation in the Boswall name in the new century. Submitted by Stella Boswall -?QQ-
