At the tender age of ten, Daddy decided that his daughter’s legs were long enough to reach the clutch and the brakes, and from that day on I found myself in a program of on-the-job training for driving the tractor. While many years have since come and gone, I’m sure my family would be the first to say that the training is still in progress My tractor days of experience may be long and varied but I still manage to pull some real stunts that raise the blood pressure of my fellow workers. One of the most famous incidents was when I had the tractor backed half way up a steep hill, one foot on the brakes, one foot on the clutch, both hands gripping the steering wheel grimly.

I put the tractor in gear, gunned the motor, and let the clutch fly, thinking it would smoothly back up the incline Only problem was I had put the tractor in fourth instead of reverse. That was the closest I ever saw my father come to having a heart attack Another time while driving a wagon through a hayfield, I was instructed that there was only one rock m the entire field and I was to steer well clear of it Just one rock, in the whole ten acre field, that’s all I managed to hang the entire wagonload of hay up on it, lifting the wagon wheels right off the ground. That time 1 abandoned the whole mess in the field and dragged my brother away from his work to rescue me. Running over haybales, sideswipmg gates and fences, jackmfmg wagons, all these were common occurences on the farm After each incident, Father would patiently come up and explain to me what I did wrong, what I should do in the future, and how I was never to let it happen again, or else. But there was such an infinite amount of possibilities and ways to mess up on the tractor, that I rarely commited the same mistake twice. 1 always found a new way to get stuck, or shortcut a corner, or misuse the clutch. So, why may you ask, did my father keep dragging me out into the fields to drive his tractor 7 Well, it seems that when I was the tender age of ten and my mother was driving the tractor and pulling a hay wagon, she managed to clear the wagon of both bales and humans in one quick jerk. It’s the one stunt I’ve never managed to pull Know Where the Activities Will Be? Read the Farm Women Calendar. - SPECIALS - NOVEMBER 9,10,11,12 13 OZ. KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES 18 OZ.
