For every one I write usually recalls anoth er. Or riding along highway or byway I will see country kids doing something that will remind me. Maybe it is that same thing they are doing or some thing dif ferent it suggests and reminds me oL A jotting in my notebook is made, and there it is when I’m ready to write. Folks are constantly telling me they like to read these tales of boyhood. Hiey themselves had all identical experiences, and they like to read about and re live ’em. So, folks, if that’s what you want, sandwiched in here with farm and home news, observa tions, and reflections, you can have it for a long time yet. For these experiences from boyhood in the back country, when I came along, are literally inexhaustible. And I like to write them, special ly when the humor is right.

Mine are. And I’m sure yours are. too. Since this feature was started in this weekly column in 1947, 421 of these squibs, “Boys Are That Way," have appeared. And years ago the University Press put about a hundred of ’em into a book called “A Dutch Fork Farm Boy.” I’m occasionally asked if I don’t have to make ’em up now. My answer is no.
