This is the first year we haven't had any crop at all and it seems so strange not to be worrying about threshing or combining, or plough- ime for wheat.

First he has 'had to trail through the wet pasture fields to fetch the cows hone—on wet days they are always at the far end of the farm, Then Partner's mood is reflected in the behaviour of the rows. 'They get contrary, run in. and out of the barnyard instead of into the stable, and with every step -.get a little more plastered with mud. At last they are tied up in their stalls—he what had previously been a clean stable but which, in- side of half an hour, is anything hut. Then I conte on the scene and Partner says, "If some of these people wito buy thine could see the work and worry we often have in keeping it clean there Wouldn't be so much grumbling about the price." "Well," some people may ask, "if you are dissatisfied, why go on farming?" \Veil, why do we? It is a question we often ask ourselves— because - we urselvesbecause-we are tempted to wonder bontetimesI - Perhaps the chief reason, as with a good lnany other farm folk, is because farming supplies a funda- mental • need in our nature. The farmer is independent—independent to a greater extent than a man in any other calling. How much a man • likes farming depends to a great extent upon how much he values his independence. The farm. er is his own boss. He isea success or a failure according to his own skill. ability attd ingenuity—that is, except in a depression period, which acts like a quagmire sucking hint down however hard he struggles to save himself. The farmer roesn't have to punch a time-clock—although he generally works longer hours than those who do. He makes his own time and ar- ranges his work' according to the weather or the demands of the season. He doesn't have to pay un- ion dues or go on strike because someone higher up demands it. There are very few restrictions in regard to his work. He can grow what he likes—and as much or as' little as he likes. There is just one hitch—he has little to say in what he shall be paid for his produce, although he must conform to gov- ernment requirements in regard to the quality of whatever ire has to sell. And yet, ironical as it may seem, it fs often the farmer's awn satis- iaction in his work that causes mis- understanding. I'or instance, a ter- mer may say during a spell -of inclement weather, "About al, I get done these days is the chores." It sound, as if "chores" don't amount to anything. How many people, other than farmers, realise that chores take up about six hours of the farmer's day[ What he does before and after chores is "work." As ff chores were not work: it is a mi -representation that has conte down to us from the day when '.,hare." were done ly the svomtu and children of the family—when there migia be no more than four or five vows to milk and a dozen or so of mongrel hens to feed. '1:1 is help left Dad free to "work." The word "chores" is a colloquial espr'ssion indicating "odd lobs." Its meaning in that sense is as opt - of -date as a stump fence, ]Chat a farmer dors at thr barn night and morning is "work" with a capital "W"—and often is the means by whirl: be maker most of his income. If he speaks of this work as chores he belittles itis occupation and should not blame his city cousin if he gets tine idea than' there is little tsork t olmected with the lar- mer's daily chores. When. a person under -rates his work or his calling too often it is arc -tined at his own valuation. Human Radar—Blind aerial observer Alvin Svehla, center, points out a "sighting" to his fellow aircraft spotters in Everett, Wash. Svehla, who uses his ususuolly acute ears for eyes, has been awarded the wings of the Ground Observer Corps and a letter of commendation from the U. S. Air Force. Bones Of Columbus—Next month the Dominican Republic will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the discovery of this leaden casket containing the remains of Christopher Columbus. It was found beneath the Cathedral of Santo Domingo on Sept. 10, 1877. Elaborate ceremonies will be led by President Rafael Trujillo, whose government is urging the completion of a half -mile -long lighthouse memorial to the great navigator pledged by the 21 American republics. • "Dear Anne lint: 1 need advice desperately . . . A year ago I mar- ried a riivorced ratan with a son (who lives with us) and t w o daughters, who stayed with their mother. 1 have two chil- dren by a form- er marriage.
