Keeping Ablest Of Stale Farming With Uncle Walt A body jest ru vei knows what to expect these days and time- 1 !l u'se ui.ue Vv'icre a fellei cu! soita predict things and know titfit bit about what to expo, t ! if he was gittin into somethin he’d no >-r pieivnc- J bewore. But ( -t ain’t that way now. least ways I it ain t with me. Take last week foi instance over I at that State Fair. II you weren’t there. I ain't in no shape to tell you what it was like. Lord knows I ain't nevei seen so many people at one place since He put me on this here old earth. If you've ever opened a bee gum and seen the bees a millin around in there, vou can have some idea about what it wa like on them fair grounds. Me and Fannie went down on Saturday mornin before the fair opened on Tuesday so that she could git her litte hit of stuff on exhibit what she was plannin to enter I fingered from the way they was all talkiri there on Mon day when we went out there that they’d have a record breakin crowd on openin day. So I told Fannie that she jest as well gil content ‘cause she weren't gonna drag me out there on openin day. 1 figgered on waitin til about Wednesday or Thursday and may be the crowd wouldn’t be so big Like I've always said though. Fan nie’s a little bit on the hard-head o(l i ■ n>y ' ': O' if b in would, d.i i hei but for a.- to go out there Tues day mornin. We’d been stavin with Fannie's sister and her brother-in-law, George, so the foui of us loaded up that mornin and drove on out there They weren't so many peo ple around when we first drove up but about two hours later it looked to me like everybody and his brother had come in The first place we had to go of course was to the exhibit hull to sge how Fannie come out with her jelh‘ and preserves I thought the feller at the gate was gonna have to held her ’fore she'd ever give in in hi-r ticket, she was in! sech a hurry to git in that exhibit! hall. Then after we got in there,, and found out she’d won blue rib-j linns on all the stuff she’d entered.! I thought 1 was gonna have to I knoeck her down to git her to brush. She made life think of a \ voungun on Christinas mornin-! she was so happy. 1 don’t know how much rtioney | she won in prizes and 1 don’t think she was even studdin about the prize money All she was inter ested m was a fceein them blue ribbons lavin up there in her jars of apple jelly and pear preserves .J Aftei we finally got Fannie soi ta calmed down, mi and George told the women folks that we believed we'd walk over an see J the livestock and stul I Fannie didn't seem to mind a bit about us goin oft by ourselves I figger ed while she was in a good mood that'd be the time for me and i George to sort a git away from them awhile and lake in the sights. We went to see the live-j stock, the chickens and a bunch j of other things includin that big new funny lookin buildin they gut out tlu-rc. Then we went up around the shows and went in a couple o’ (them which we had been countin on seem I didn't yit a chance to go to the one at the county fair hut 1 sure took in the ones down at the State Fair Jest as we walked out of the show which me and George hud heat our way through the mob to git to, Fannie and her siter as standin right uot* side a waitin fur us Fannie grabbed my arm and said, "I knew we'd i^[uojiy| -, Ti'Tinctin you here than anywhere Money Still Talks To Farm Tenant —•«>— ■ There',*-' no substitute fm\,fair i • j? :■ wages." C. B. Ratchford. in charge of extension farm management aid marketin'.' for N C. State college is toiling labor-hungry farmers aii ever th« State. Ratchford and lira] county ag ricultural agents art' giving lec tures. illustrated with 21 .slides, designed to help farmers find and keep labor, keep labor satisfied, and get their money’s worth from labor. Noting that the labor situation is not likely to improve until far mers take constructive steps to -improve labor relations, Ratch ford declares that fair wages, “meaning wages comparable to those paid in the area for the same type of work," is the incentive for which there is no substitute. The lecture - slides also consid er such things as hours and work ing conditions, living conditions, incentive bonus, on-the-job train ing. and fitting the worker to the job. "Be a good boss.” Ratchford ad visee the farmer. “Ordinarily on fanners with a large turn-over in labor, the farmer is the one at fault rather than the employee.” A good boss, Ratchford asserts, does tiie following, among other things: Anticipates workers' needs, tells employees of changes, tells them the value of their jobs, praises freely, handles grievances with sympathy, does not hesitate to re do on tin* grounds if we lest wait long enough " 1 told her she was jest lucky to find us ‘cause of she’d been five minutes later a gittin there, she'd of had to wait. Me and George both had decided to git us anothei ticket and go back in and sec the show again. Course we didn't after they saw us. It was a mob of people there at the fair, and sort a hard for an old codger like me to git around, but I wouldn’t take anything in tiie world for a goin. I don’t know when I’ve ever seen so much and had seeii a good time a seein it. II I can pull through an otlier year and am able to go, I aim to take it in again next year. —wwwwvwwwwrfWMWWtnp.
