IVw been footed before, but
like thlel
No telling how long I would
labored under false impressions {
faming In North .Carolina '
jgenenil if 1 hadn't nut
little book.
It's a brilliantly conceived piece of |
work that looks like one of
vestpocket dictionaries you see
tised. Although it does contain a defi
nition here and there. It is really |
the 1M7 Handbook for
Workers prepared by the State Coi-I
lege Extension Service, and, to stamp I
out a new idiom, there is more there]
than first met the eye of this City]
Cousin whan he planked down a dol-1
lar for his copy.
Did I hear you say "Information,]
Please?" Weil, you've got the
number! You can quit trying te find]
out what to plant in your "Peace]
Garden" between March 1 and 1$,]
and if you stfll want to know what]
to do for chickens that are drbopin
from Aspergillosis, Bronchitis, and/or ]
Larynogotracheitis?well, I've got the
dope right here in my little manual]
that tells me everything but the
weather forecast for next Easter |
Sunday!
Little did I suspicion before reading |
this "Parmer's Best-Seller"?non-fic- j
tion that m, suh?that my Country
Cousin must be something of a chem-1'
ist, biologist, engineer, and all-round
Medicine Man rolled into one. (This
pre-mppoees, natcherly, that he is]
already an astrologer, a lawyer, and]
a clairvoyant).
"Things Every Successful Farmer I
Should Know" might well be the title]1
of this five-foot shelf of reference ] I
books boiled te. a neat 151 pages of ]
data pertinent to this state. (I dont ]
suppose it would take an ounce more ] 1
of quicklime to whitewash a shed in | f
Maryland than it would down here?|
depending upon how dirty the shed|
was?but you get the idea).
Should the farmer care to know|
how many acres a machine will cover, [
he can save himself a lot of time
and gasoline by using the formula of
page 21. No more jumping on the]
thing and running around the farm]
like mad with a stop watch in one |
hand and the accelerator in the other. |
Just look on page 21.
Besides learning what Tar Heel ]
farmers should know about forty
seven different Held crops that thrive ]
hen, you'd be amazed at what I could |
do on the farm with the. electricity]
consumed in a city apartment in one |
month.
As I dragged out my January light |
hill and pressed my new Handbook
into use, I was shocked. I had already
been shocked by the light bill, but
any way this was a pretty strong |
anti-climax.
I could have baled three tons of|
hay, churned a ton of butter, shelled I
twenty-five bushels of com, sawed I
two cords of wood, threshed three
hundred pounds of grain, and milked I
forty-nine and a half cows. This]
would have left me with enough Killo-1
watt-hours to give myself a good sun!
tan and hatch out two and two-tenths I

Let's see now what page was

It won't be long now before the
