"MET FARM? You're crazier
than you look, Hampl"
Banty McCann spat contemptuously
and hitched up his overall pants.
He glared up at Hamp Anderson.
"I ain't no farmer. Who wants to
mess with a truck crop when the
mast is as good as it is this year?
Hogs will be fat as butterballs by
Thanksgiving. Farm? PKooey!"
Hamp Anderson placed a foot
Carefully.on the porch step, cut a
chew of tobacco just as carefully
and tucked it into b corner of his
mouth before he spoke. "No patri
otism, I see," he said quietly. "Here
the Gov'mint is hollerin' for vegeta
bles and you want to traipse the
woods. Look: Them hogs'll fatten
theirselves. While they're doin' that
you can work a acre of cukes."
A stout, round-faced woman came
out and eased her bulk into a spe
cially reinforced rocker. Hamp
Anderson raised a hand to his wide
brimmed hat. "Howdy, Aunt Mat.
How are you?"
"Fair to middlin', I reckon,
Hamp. You-all talkin' cukes? Tom
always difl like to raise 'em, but he
never could eat 'em." Tender
hearted Aunt Mat raised a corner of
her checked apron to her eyes when
she mentioned her late husband.
Hamp cocked an eye upward and
peered judiciously at the sky. "Like
ly be a dry fall . . . how about it,
Banty? Want tp try a little easy
money?"
"Sure wish you would, son," said
Aunt Mat. "Ain't had a crop since
"Want to try a little easy money?"
?since Tom passed away." Aunt
Mat sniffed heavily.
"Well?" said Banty again "I
reckon I will. Bring on your seed
and your fertilizer, Hamp. Dog
gone! Me?a farmer!"
Easy money! Everybody said
cnkes was easy money! Banty
thought savagely as he finished
bedding out his last piece of land
in the rich pond bottom. He was
anxious to get back into the woods
and see about his hogs. Screw
worms might kill a hog if he didn't
find it in time. 'Gators might be
catching the shotes. Snakes might
have pizened one.
Cucumber seed comes up fast,
esneciallv in the fall, and Bantv had
no time for hog hunting. Then
came the rains ? hurricane sea
son! The torrential downpour filled
all the middles and flooded the
ditches Banty hadn't taken time to
clean out Water backed up in his
low field.
Banty took off his shoes, rolled up
the legs of his pants and waded
in with hoe and shovel. Hamp An
derson rode up to the fence on his
big bay mare. "Looks pretty damp,"
Hamp admitted.
"Damp you say?" Hamp'a delib
erate understatement angered Ban
ty. "Woods is full o' water, too.
Ought to see- 'bout my hogs. This
whole cuke patch ain't worth a
shote!"
"Oh, we'll make out fine," Hamp
said easily. "Reckon you'll save
two-thirds of this field."
When the ground began to dry
out, the plants grew unbelievably
fast. "Be pvckin' less'n 43 days
from plantin' seed!" exulted Aunt
Mat. "Bet you make money, Lon
nie."
Banty patted her fat shoulder
anilnuaMll* "TW*'* Lt >4 k.ll
?r??"??* . ?/uii t v uuk nau,
Aunt Mat. Hamp's furnishin' me,"
be reminded her. "Well, I'm goin' in
the woods today and see 'bout my
hogs."
The herd was on the creek bank.
One sow had (arrowed and lost all
but one measly pig. Two shotes had
screw worms in their ears, and one
had nearly lost his tail. A fourth
hobbled on three legs.
"Cukes!" he said aloud. "For
blamed cukes?1" He turned and
walked away.
Banty rode to market with the
first load of cucumbers. Hamp
was unusually silent. He's keepin'
somethln' back from me, puz
zled Banty, looking at the glum
man. Wonder what?
He soon discovered the reason for
Hamp's gloom. Posted bulletins and
angry truck farmers had one
theme: "Government regulation.
October ceiling price on cucum
bers?<3.10 per tub."
Banty McCann clenched his fists.
He flung a stream of abusive words
at the market, at farmers, and at
cukas In particular.

Cost a fortune? Not at all. You
can have it and save money for a
bond too.
You will need a base which may be a
table that you have on hand or a chest of
drawers made by taking the mirror off of
an old dresser, also some short lengths of
lumber and plywood. A simple box cup
board is made to place on this base.
The next step is to mark the design for
the scalloped front on the plywood and cut
it out with a compass saw or take it to
a woodworker to be cut with a power saw.
Paint or stain the cupboard to match the
base, and stretch fabric across the back
to make a colorful background for your
treasures.
