Show HAD REPUTATION TO SUSTAIN Farmer Had No Idea of Allowing Hired Man to Beat Him in Gathering Corn. A Sullivan county farmer hired a man to help him gather his corn last season. Now, the farmer had a reputation repu-tation for being an eflicient worker, but the hired man was not daunted by it. They started out side by side, the hired man being advised by the farmer farm-er to keep as close to him as he could with the row he was gathering. But lo! the new worker after a few minutes of "keeping up with the farm- , er, passed him and soon was several . . feet ahead. Frantically the farmer pulled the cars from the stalks, but the new man still kept gaining. Then all at once he heard the farmer shout. "Stop." he yelled. "Stop, if you want to work for me. I never yet let any man who worked. for me get ahead of me." |
