THE fish are biting down on the creek ; out at the
millpond there are cool water lanes over-arched
wnn trees wiiere n is a vy iv uiup a uw. am
lazily wait for a nibble ; ashore in the deep cool woods
mayhap a picnic dinner is waiting ; the old swimming
hole, cold and clear, calls us as it called in our boy
hood ; peaches and plums are ripening, watermelon
patches are abloom with sweet promises, corn and cot
ton are booming in the warm sunshine, the open road
invites us. '
What has all this to do with better farming ? Sim
ply this, that the best of better farming must also
include better living, and better living means in part
at least that we shall go joyously about our jobs, that
laughter shall be mixed with labor.
Where is the boy who will not put more drive into
his work if he knows that at its end there is a fishing
excursion or the swimming hole? What farm woman
pr farm girl does not do her work all the better for an
occasional picnic or outing ) Which boy will have the
greater love for the farm, he who is hard driven till
Saturday night, or he who plays baseball Saturday
afternoon, with an enthusiastic dad there to cheer his
boy's team on to victory ?
Don't let's forget that after all, steady grinding
day in and day out, year after year, is not success,
It's the spirit we put into our work that determines
what shall come out of it. Break away for a-day or a
half -day. See your neighbors, see what they are doing
and how; try the high dive at the swimming hole as
you did in the days of yore ; go to the ball game and
see how loud you can yell; unbend, limber up, tackle
your job with a smile instead of a scowl and a growl.
Then at the year's end, whatever the harvest, you will
call the season a good one. ; "
