community would be the last one
to ever sit away from cbe good
old customs and ways r of doin
things But we've Joined ranks
along with the others and we're
a losin ground mighty fast I think
we're still better off than a lot of
others though because we still love
our neighbors and always help out
in times of sickness and what, not
Most people lay our changes to
the progress that' been' made in
far- machine and the like They
say a man with a tractor and the
right, tools to go with it can do
more' work in a day than everal
men use to could with their mules
and plow stocks That may be true
and I think it's a good thing that
we've gone that far in our farmin,
but the thing I'm glttih at is our
gains In that direction more im
portant than our losses in the oth
er Course I know it is, but I was
brought up durin a time when
everbody bad to work for a llvin
and the ones that didn't: work
didn't have much to eat or to wear.
We're jest Uvin In a different kind
of world now, one in which ev
erybody's better off any way you
look at It But it's sorta hard ler
us old codgers to fergit about the
ood old days when we used to
ave s much fun a doin such bard
work. -j
." The fact that we've sorta got
away from our old ways of doin
things' is makin it a lot easier on
all of us Most1 of the time now
when we git ready to do some
thin, we've got the equipment and
things to do it with without bav
in to wait til some day it suits
our neighbors to help us out Take
.'he corn siiucklns fer instance,
these here corn pickers and com
bines and things will da the Job
in a lot less time and in most eas-
do it better than we use to
i;ould do You can say about the
same thing fer most any job you
start to do on the farm nnwadays.
And I doubt if they's anybody who
would like to see us go a slidln
back after we've made all the
progress we bave
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 day. I jest wish we could have
some of both.
