During this past summer it was my
pleasure to visit a farm near the vill
age of Weedsville, owned by a farm
er who, like myself, gets a hankering
by times to tell of his experiences
around the farm. I had read his ar
ticles for a number of years and dur
ing the course of time had formed an
impression of what he must look like
and what his farm must be like. Ac
cordingly, having a few days of quiet
ness on the farm I rambled down to
see him.
My ideas of his farm were as far
astray as they could possibly be. He.
had two hundred acres of level, well
cultivated land and the monotony of
the flat land was relieved by the most
attractive arrangement I have ever
witnessed around a house, and barn.
Sitting on a small knoll, well bank
ed with flowers that showed the care
ful attention of a good housekeeper,
was a substantial farm home. Just
the kind of farm home that you not
ice in driving past, and in so doing
will say, “There’s a mighty nice look
ing place, because it has such a
friendly looking house on it.”
Between the house and the pond
was a jewel-like body of water with
a quaint rustic bridge. Floating ser
enely along the water’s surface was
lily-pads and ducks, a perfect picture
of contentment and charm. The
ducks were gliding along in flotilla
style, bobbing down at intervals for
a bite of something to eat. Among
whispering "weeping willow” trees
stood a frame barn. It was not one
of those modern, efficient looking
barns that seem to glare like a great
ugly office building in the centre of
a green patch of grass, but rather a
warm, comfortable looking one with
the odd board off and the occasional
window stuffed with a gunny sack.
I wandered back of the barn in a
small ravine that was lined on both
sides with elms that seemed like some
gigantic archway and camfe upon him
in the corn patch. While his son was
scuffling corn, he was engaged in the
very farmer-like task of leaning on a
hoe-handle.
I introduced myself and lie shook
hands in a way that made me feel
Welcome. There was no nonsensical
apology for his clothes being stained
With good, honest clay. He made no
inane remarks about not shaving that
morning. He mentioned how he was
figuring as to what he would sow in
the corn field next year, and led the
way to a nook he had behind the barn
in a tool shed, and with a wave of his
hand indicated that I should sit down
and be comfortable.
Seated on an abandoned car cush
ion that offered as much comfort as
anything in the lounge of the Bilt-
more, we chatted about everything in
general. He pointed out where he had
a special corner of the tool-shel rigg
ed up as an office.
There on a clean, fresh pine table
that was an inspiration in itself he
wrote his 'articles on life in general
around the farm. Whispering willows
and elms played by vagrant trees
supplied the incidental music and the
lapping of the water in the pool serv
ed as a gentle spur to his imagination.
There he sat on Stmday morning and
wrote of'wbat had taken place during
the week.
"Running a farm is like being in
command of a great army,” he relat
ed. "You battle against life every day
and plot your brains against the com- „
bined forces of nature and fate. You
find that if you fight fair, they’ll be
fair . . . and that if you start slipping
they’ll creep in on you. Give a field
a poor cultivation and you’ll find that
the weeds will move in and choke
the crop. I like farming because-it’s
the grandest, cleanest occupation in
the world. If you have imagination,
aqd foresight you can go to the top,
just as captains of industry do. If
you shirk, then you must dawdle
along in a half form of existence. I
like to work and plan and be hearty
in everything. I go to bed at night
tired and get up with the sun, and I
glory in being fit and healthy and ac
tive. I enjoy being a one hundred per
cent, farmer.”
