Plan an Occasional Outinf Picnic For the Family
THIS is a time when every man, woman and
child on Southern farms should do their
utmost in helping to 'make big crops: but
at the same time the fact should not be forgot
ten that a certain amount of wholesome recrea
tion is essential if the best work is to be done.
l Southern farmers, their wives and children
I have probably done more hard work this year
than ever before in the same length of time,
ij and they are entitled to an occasional day off.
I How the day shall be spent will of course largely
j; be determined by the circumstances in each par-
II ticular case.
IJ If the family has an automobile, there are a
jj dozen ways in which a day may be profitably
spent. Any river, lake or mountain within twen-
il ty five miles is cenerallv in easy reach, and fish
ing, boating or picnic trips to these may be made.
Or a circular tour, coine one way and returning
I another, may be planned, inspecting good crops
I and livestock along the way and stopping for
j dinner by some cool stream.
But the fact that there is no automobile should
keep no family at home. A two-horse wagon
with plenty of straw or hay in the bottom is a
first class substitute. Load it up with the family
and some accessories in the way of a good dinner,
watermelons, ice, bathing togs and fishing tackle,
and it will be the means of affording a fine outing.
If two or three, neighboring- families can join in
!; the fun, all the better.
t .
j Our work just now is exceedingly important,
but it will do us and our iohs too ffood for us to
get away from them occasionally; for we can come
back with a renewed zest for getting things done
and an added strength for doing them quickly
and well. Take a day off with all the family.
