me live through it.

I tree Just
rigged up a
together
with a
had a
we started from Iowa to Texas
and New Mexico where Mother
had relatives.
There was an organ tied on the
back of ona of the wagons and
every t 1 "** we made camp we
had musie and singing.
My brothers, Paul and Bill,
slept on the floor of the wagon
under the big bed where our par
ents and we girls slept Only/their
heads stuck out and we liked to
play hide and seek with them be
fore going to sleep.
As we neared Kansas an old
sow with several baby pigs
crossed the road. My sister cried
out "Oh, see the little kittys.” A
sure giveaway that wa children
were city bred . . • .
'I remember Dad stopped at one
farm in Arkansas to buy a pound
of butter but the farmer said,
"Nope, don’t always have butter
ourselves. Too lazy to milk."
I’ll never forget the hailstorm
In Oklahoma. It frightened the
horses, ruined the wagon cover
and even gave Mother a big bump
on the head when a hailstone big
as a hen’s egg hit her.
Somewhere near the Oklahoma-
Texas border, we met another
farmer who rolled huge water
melons under the fence to us.
Were they ever good! Only vine-
ripened melons could taste like
that %
By the time we reached the Cim-
maron River, tales of casualties
due to quicksand had reached
Dad’s ears. Fearing he, too might
miss the crossing, he sold the
team and wagon to a more adven
turesome party and we returned
to Iowa by train—another adven
ture for me—my first train ride.
We’ve been talking here about
the family cow and home garden
in our lives on the small farms of
the Dutch Fork when I was
growing up. The orchard was the
third member of this important
trio.
Then, if you had fruit at all,
you raised it. And every terrace
near the house was lined with all
manner of fruit trees. All we did
was gather the fruit. And they
often lived longer t!han the folks
did. No borers. And I can remem
ber when scale first came. No
roots much either. But usually
some worms. We thought them
natural in fruit and pared ’em out
as it was used. Well, that is, us
ually. But we kids weren’t very
careful.
Many a time I’ve seen half of
a worm in the piece of fruit I
still held in my hand. I’d spit
the rest out, and go right ahead.
Small things didn’t bother us
then.
The plan was to pick up the
drops every day. Use the good
and throw the rest to the hogs.
We know now that this was pret
ty good insect and disease con
trol. Apples specially could be
culled through and used a good
while before they were ripe.
Worms would make ’em ripen
and drop prematurely. Those we
could cull through, cut the good
portions into “snits”, and dry
them on the sunny shed away
from the chickens. We also dried
peaches that way. And that dried
fruit eerved us well all through
the long winters. And we also
canned much when the stuff
really came in. We tried to let
nothing waste.
Once cold got our apples com
pletely. A neighbor up the road
sent us about two bushels. We
went through them every other
day, getting out the rotten speck
ed ones and using them. This kept
up until every one was gone. And
we hadn’t used a sound apple. I
look back on that now as a sort
of economy in reverse.
A neighbor across the road had
the only early peaches upg in
there. Their red cheeks among
those dark green leaves were
tempting for sure on a late May
day. Although they were gener
ous with us, I couldn’t wait. On
several occasions I’d watch until
they were away. Then I’d slip
in from the back side of the place
and swipe me a pocketful of those
tempting viands. If they’d have
caught me, I don’t know what I’d
have done. I’d have been morti
fied beyond words. But strong is
the urging carried by a country
boy’s appetite
Miss Betty Whitfield of 16 Po
wer street, Greenville, and Joe
H. Kingsmore were married at 8
p. m. July third in the parsonage
of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
near Pomaria.
The double ring ceremony was

happy vacations begin in a Chevy
You’ll love to travel in it, because it loves to travel! When you
get this Chevrolet out on the road, you’ll want to keep going—
and so will the whole family.
Of course, even in a Chevrolet the
happiest vacations may involve
one or two minor problems. Like
fidgety small fry who want gal
lons of water and keep asking
if you’re almost there. The big
things, though, are beautifully
taken care of by this roomy Chev
rolet's smooth and easy way of
going. That’s for sure.
The fact is, few cars at any
price hold the road with Chevy’s
grace, with its solid feeling of
stability. And with horsepower
up to 225, Chevrolet moves out
like a whiplash, for safer passing.
It's no wonder that «o many peo
ple who used to buy higher priced
cars are changing to Chevrolet!
