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 168 John van Guilder.
