Sugar and Spice
By W. B. ' . Sm4ijey
Isn't it, odd how ' portant the
farmer becomes ery three or
four years? .• ost of the time,.
everyone is content to let .hien go
right ht ahead and 'batter ti,is brans
out on the: stony 'bosom of Moth-
er Nature:. .•
In normal times, a lot°01 people,
if they give the farmer a thought
at all,' think of him as a sortof
ornery• customer always grouch-
ing • about the ;weather, always
wanting subsidies for, his produce,'I
always talking hard tines, but, in
reality, salting money away by
the bagful. ,
But` let someone 'call an. ;elec-•
tion. and. suddenly the . farmer
comes into ''ihis own. It is, gener-
ally agreed that he is ;a noble
•son• of the soil, the salt of the
earth, the backbone of the :Coun
try, and lie .hope of the future
It is common knowledge, at el-
ection time that the farmer has
had leanyears, that his income
has been meagre, that he has
been ' shamefully neglected:, Ev-
erybody vies in promising him;
a fair •share of the . nation's in-
come.;
ncome; 'a square .deal; a better liv
,inig; greater recognition, and any-
thing else that doesn't cost much.
Let's get to the bottom of. this
Js the farmer • really one of Nat
ure's' noblemen, as .the politicians
.assert•: at election'time? Or is he:
the '' dour spreader of gloom, the
chronic,. ,malcontent, as pictured.
between.' elections?
*: * •
O•f course, he. is . neither: Far
'niers'. are people, like. everybody
else: 'And like alk" people, ' they
are. of all types.: A millionaire in.
a penthouse can 'bejust as much.
of a . grouch ase the : farmer.. on a
stony. :back concession: •A :dumb
farmer is' just as likely to make
a mess of things .as a ;dumb . buss
•nessinan. An intelligent farmer
is just as bright as; an intelligent
executive, and . probably ' , a lot
more versatile,

People are all mixed up -about
farmers. There is. a tendency, for
`instance, 'to' think of' the farmer;:,
as •a: man sof few words, This 'is a'
hallucination, • Today's• far"aner
may be strong,;abuthe is far from,
silent.' Get ' a group of farmers
going .and you : can, scarcely get
the* stopped talking. 'I :have met
farmers, who would talk •'you into:
a -state of mild shock if you .gave
them an' opening:
Another illusion about tie far-
mer is 'that he is cautioiis. '.The
fact is that the farmer is the only
big-time gambler .left in our:'eco-
nomic•system: And he's the` only,
gambler who keeps coming back
to ;the table when he knows;; the
dice ,are loaded: 'Think.;not?' ;Show.
me a' professional gambler. who
would take • the odds :the ,farmer.
:accepts when he plants • his •,wheat
or sinks his roll .:in beef • cattle.
Then th.ere•'is, the silly idea, so•
Oftenheard, thatthe farmeris
slow :to change, • resists new ideas.
On ;the contrary he is ;a'a'natural-
born target for. anything• new in
the ".line of machinery, seed, feed,.
or fertilizer. He.' can't testa hav-
ing . a go at ' it. .
• t, *.* 4
Still another misconception;
about the 'farmerc''everybody says
and, 'nobody says it, louder 'than.
the :farmer himself, that he has'
a hard life. Well, that's not true.
Itmight have been fifty years'
ago, .hut • not today. What . they
-really meanis that he . w_ orks.
hard. And be does. "
* •
But theeity.fellow works hard,
too,, whether he is a pipefitter,.'' a
lawyer, • a neWspaperinan. or , a
girdle salesman. The difference.
is that all the city fellow 'gets
out of all the work is a: is head,
ulcers, , jowls and a 'baggy. belly;
while the fanner winds up with.
muscles, a hearty appetite; a rud-
.

Nope, . the farmer May not be
quite as terrific as the` politicians
tell him he is, ;every few years.
But neither is' 7 he to be pitied, be-
tween elections, ' as a "down -trod
den misanthrope. He's'. a pretty
tough character and 'a pretty
shrewd one., and he" has to be.
*.*:*
• The fanner can take a serious
reverse °with Stoic: courage. He
can weather the bad :.years ' and
spread himself a bit in the good
ones. He has' a great deal more
security than' the city worker.
He is :his - own" master.

:And, unlike the city worker,
when he has. slugged : it out for
forty., years, he doesn't have to gb.
and:live with an owly ,daughter
in-law, or move ' into the / old
people's home. ; The fanner -sells
the. farm, buys ,a' little house in

to • do ' it all over again?
