PHIL INFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
Was asked a question the other
day that more or less stumped nie for
awhile, A friend of mine who lives in
the city wanted to know if all farmers
are really alike, In the ifrst place
that's a difficult thing for anybody as
limited in such matters as I am, to
answer,- I hedged about it for a while,
just a little afraid to venture an opin-
ion. Then, as I started thinking about
it, the answer seemed to frame itself,
At a convention a little while ago
there were farmers present from all
parts of the country. They sat around
for, three days and they had come all
the way from the Maritimes, British
Columbia, the Prairies. Ontario and
Quebec. Most of them were engaged
in different kinds of farming and yet
they were bound together by one sort
of common bond, They ivere all
farmers.
What makes a farmer, whether.it be
an ordinary fellow grubbing away to
make ends meet on a little farm in a
backward part of any province or a big
successful farmer making good money
on the most modern farm in the
country I guess it must be a common
interest in living, growing things, The
farmer plants seed in the land which
he has tilled and waits for the grain
to come springing up soft and green.
From then on it is the hands of Mother
Nature, which either encourage or dis-
courage it. If mother nature wants to,
she can give him a good crop or a
poor one.
A farmer is a patient man, raising
calves to market weight over a period
of years. Sickness can wipe out years
of work. For too long he has stood
at the bob-tail end of things, as far
as financial returns are concerned.
Few honest to goodness farmers have
not gone through some pretty tough
periods when, money was none too
plentiful. •
A farmer must stand up to the
weather. Farm life and activity must
go on whether it be under the scorch-
ing and blistering sun of a hot harvest
-clay or the zero weather of winter. He
must 'improvise, `making wire and bits
and ends of machinery do a job for
him.
Farmers don't talk very much about
it, but most of them love .the land.
They suffer hardship and inconven-
ience, grumbling a lot at times, but
ready to stand up and boast at other
times when someone starts running
down their occupation. They still like
the freedom of working for themielves
on their own property. They are
learning now, that while still holding
on to this precious freedom they can
help each, other in many ways for the
common good,
Yes, Farmers have a lot in common.
The dairyman of Eastern Canada and
the graingrower of Western Canada
may find themselves opposed at times
but for the most part they have learned
to get along together in a pinch,
