all the farmer has to do is to sit
under a shade tree and watch
things grow, and the farmer who
thinks that all the town man has
to do is to sit behind the counter
and rake in the money, are alike
mistaken. But this perhaps is
the reason that so many farmers
want to move into town and so
many town people want to go
down on the farm, No matter
what calling you follow in this
life it has its ups and downs, its
advantages as well as its disad
vantages.
