PICTURES ON THE FARM VA
Everywhere on a farm there are pictures—simple, pleasing snapshots that
will give your albums new appeal.
THE man who says "nothing ever
happens on a farm" certainly
isn't talking about pictures. On al-
most any farm, 11 you keep your
eyes open, you will find enough
snapshot material to keep the cam -
a'r't busy from early morning to late
at ni,.ht—and still not exhaust the
5011017.
Fttrnl animals offer scores of pia-
ture chances—woolly lambs in the
stun, a hen fussing over her brood
of chicks, cows being driven in for
milking, pigs at the trough (or their
owner summoning them with a lusty
shout), horses drinking, docks wad-
dling in a line about the yard or
taking an afternoon "cruise" in the
pond.
Work scenes In the field make
excellent pictures, and fresh -plowed
land with long deep furrows is good
for pattern snapshots. The orchard
in bloom is a scene of beauty, and all
around the house and barn lot there
are details which make pictures.
Get a snap of Grandfather whit-
tling, mending a single -tree, or
busy at a whirling grindstone. Pic-
ture shady fence corners, old-time
zigzag fences of laid rails, the bat-
tered wooden bucket at the well and
the worn saw -horse or chopping
block In the woodlot, Look for snaps
down by the shady spring -house
and brook. And watch the special
seasons—such as hog -killing time
later on—when there is some un-
usual activity ,to picture.
Yes, there are plenty of farm
snapshots—everything from a calf
being fed from a bottle to corn-huak-
ing shots at harvest time and foot-
prints in. the snow in winter. You
can point your camera in almost any
direction, and find something. Try
it, every chance you get, and watch
your picture albums growl
