"Thought you said boarders paid better'n corn," ono of them remarked, resting his elbows on tho fence and glancing over tho unpromising field. "Do," was tho laconic response, as tho old fellow turned his team at the end of tho row. "What you plantln' corn for, then?" tho other inquired. Tho old fellow chadded. "Oh, I ain't plantln' much; jest enough to mako them c'ty folks feel thoy really is on a real farm," ho explained. |
