Show The Land LandBy Doctor B Uy By Vivian Shearer I was still trying to get gel the idea across t to Hank that he would make more monc money and do it easier easler if he lie would spend the same amount of time on his Ids own farm building it up rather than renting another place a a. couple of miles down clown the road and trying to farm both places Remember that Jersey mulch cow that slipped into one of your gullies and rested in the muck with her feet up In the air for quite a spell before you found her I asked him Remember how you ou had to put her In a asling asling sling a and d had to apply an assortment assort assort- ment of splints and bandages bandages' here and there on her Gave her quite a mess of mashes mashos an tonics of one kind and another too Mrs came by where we stood talking with a pan heaped up with the most Important Import Import- ant part of the making of strawberry strawberry strawberry straw straw- berry Dont give Hank an any credit for that cow cure she sine said He wanted to shoot her right off but I finally talked him out of the idea He did most of the heavy work but I put on most of the salves and fixed up the mashes and medicines She's a good old cow again but Hank wont won't agree yet et that she's alive even when he lie milks her I I was glad that Mrs 1 I had chimed in on tho the conversation conversation conversation conversa conversa- tion for I I. I hoped that she would help me mo convince Hank that I had a good argument Well Nell Ve an anyway way I went on on this farm is in about the same shape as the Jersey cow was Needs about the tho same samo kind of heroic treatment Ive got some of the liniment left over oer 1 Mrs rs laughed so all I need is for you to show me which field to rub it on Better save it for Hanks Hank's back and shoulders I told her Hell Yell need it If he does all the things that need doing to get this farm back into just ordinary productivity Seriously though what do you think thick should be done she asked First of oC all I explained like when you OU got the cow out of the gully you you ou examined her herall herall herall all over for cuts bruises and broken bones so you ou should do dothe dothe dothe the same for the farm Make 1 a thorough examination and stud study of all the conditions and the re relation relation relation re- re lation of your farm practices practices' to these conditions I reckon Hank shot back at me mc that I know all about m my farm as well as you know all about those lines in your left palm that you are aro always pointing pointing pointing point point- ing at when you talk Hank Mrs 1 argued If you knew your farm that well you wouldn't have planted I potatoes again in that field above e the thc hog lot where they always bet scabby Il 11 l leave ave it to Vivian Hank answered if that field isn't as asgood asgood asgood good as any Just happens that th they y get scabby there Sounds like a high PH to tome tome me me I told him Maybe l seven or better A little sulphur to reduce reduce reduce re re- re- re duce it to about a six might help If you knew your farm you would know what what it is so this is a good place to start studying |
