In '■ | to take care of mint I'm always glad to see hog kill in time re!! around 'cause it gives a body a chance to help out his [diet man It use to be where we would have corn shuckins, i cotton pickins and barn raisins But times has changed so 'much 'til it's got to where it is suit o eve man for hissolf. That am' hi; th Vies1 cithei i don't • ,_id on into the churches and school. and everwhere else. ■re and everbody in the corn ! munitv would come in and set around a pile of corn a shuckin and a talkin. Nobody worked hard or very long either and ever body had a lot of fun and the women folks always had a table full of good vittles. Back 1heri we had a lot better cooperation in our little church and the whole community was .sorts nitted togethf r. It am'1 like that no more though. When we aorta got away from helpin each other on the lai in. we sorta become individuals m the church and in everthing we undersook to do. People is jest livin too fast these days and times. It ain't only here but it must be the same way everwhere I though our little old community would be the last one to ever git away from the good old customs and ways of doin things. But we’ve joined ranks along with the others and we re a losin ground mighty fast. 1 think were still better off than a lot of others though because we still love our neighbors and always help out in times of siek ness and what not. Most people lay our changes to the progress that's been made in farm machines and the like They say a man wilh a tractor and the Taki c .vvv.'.-.c dv right tools to go with it can rlo | more work in a day than several I men use to could with their mules I and plow stocks. That may be I true and I think it's agood thing i that 'we’ve gone that far in our Ifarmin, but the thing I'm gittiri at is our gains in that dirertion fun a got • ; more important than our losses 1 | in the other. Course I know it is, f | but I w as brought up durin a when ever body had to work ’.ivin and the ones that didn * 'work didn't have much to eat or i f j v.';1’.' V' u |im)k at n But its sorts i hard ter us old codgers to fergit I about the good old days w hen we use to have so much |doin such hard work. The fact tha1 we-ve sol ! away from our lod ways of :loin | things is makin it a lot easier on ! all of us. Most of the time when j we git ready to do somethin, ! we've got the equipment and things to di it with without havin to wait ‘til some day it suits our I neighbors to help us out. Take the I corn shuckins fer instance, these ! her corn pickers and combines j and things will do the job in a lot j less time and in most cases do it I better than we use to could do. I You can say about the same thing | ter must any job you start to do I on the farm nowadays. And I i doubt it thev's anybody who Would like to see ir go a -lirtin j back after we-ve made all the progress we have. Yessir, things sure is different, and far be it from me to say that I'd like to see us go back to the old days. I jest wish we could have some of both. Curtis F.
