“TAKE IT EASY!” It has been said that raising
boys on 'a farm is as important as harvesting crops.

caster Farming’s Staff Reporter, Everett Newswanger

very hard-hearted farmer who could not find a bit of
sentiment in this down-on-the-farm photograph. The
stage setting is Paradise R 1 in Jacob Seiler’s nicely
shocked wheat field. The actors are (1 to r) Jerry, Kent
and Carl Gehman, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Gehman,
