Since all the farms today are more or less mechanized, they talk about these mechanical imple ments, of what they can or cannot do with them, of how well they can cultivate or not cultivate with them, and many say they don’t see how they got along without them all these years. These conversa tions sometimes go on for hours, especially if it is a rainy day and the men are congregated in some country store. One man said that even though his own farm is mechanized with all that he can afford and a little more than he can afford, to him there is still nothing prettier than a shiny black strapping Negro holding to bright red plow handles, a plow with a slick new wing, and two well-kept white horses turn- Friday, March 25, 1955 ing up fragrant rich top soil, ready ing it for planting. • TOPICS . . . having attended a number of quilting parties in this section during the past weeks, I found that the general topics of conversations ran thusly . . . oper ations, preachers, dieting, children and grandchildren. • OBSERVATIONS . . . sitting in the choir and looking down on the congregation . . . noticing audience reactions . . . and looking at the feet of the women under the first and second pews . . . some with their shoes off, some crossed de murely . . . some 'resting their ankles on the floor . . . some fidget ing . . . feet tell a lot. According to U.S.D.A., lack of sulphur has been detected in some 1 southern soils.
