CHARLES H. LONG
Charles Long’s annual fishing trip
to Canada serves as a balance wheel
for his success story in the farm im-
plement business. When we first
started to collect material for a pen
sketch of this serious looking young
man of thirty-four, he sounded al-
most too good to be true.
You can’t go wrong on sizing up
a man who likes to fish. Fishermen
are real guys. Last year Mr. Long
established a precedent by taking
Mrs. Long with him, and from now
on the annual trip will include the
wife. Mr. Long sold her a bill of
goods on wilderness life. With her
first bite she was a convert,
To build up a large farm machin-
ery business in the comparatively
short time since Long graduated
from Nanticoke High School in 1935
has taken some doing, especially as
there was no intention at first of
founding any such concern.
He farmed for his father, McKin-
ley Long, for five years after gradu-
ation, supplementing his income by
selling baby chicks,
It was while delivering a crate of
peeps at Orangeville that he first
met the Massey Harris representa-
tive and got to talking with him on
the possibility of persuading his
father to buy a tractor. That deal
consummated, he was approached
on selling for the company, an ar-
rangement that blossomed into a
bona fide agency at the November
Farm Show in 1940.
With the start of World War II,
equipment was difficult to get, and
the agency marked time. |
With a recently purchased farm
on his hands in addition to. the
fledgling agency, Long cast around
for ways to make ends meet and hit
upon running for tax collector.
Elected’ for a four-year term in
1942, the new tax collector per-
suaded his wife to collaborate with
him in the collection of taxes, while
he himself bent every effort to run-
ning the farm and the agency.
Equipment once more available at
the end of the war, and farms cry-
ing for motorized equipment to take
place of war casualties in machin-
ery, the agency went to town. New
buildings were erected by Bonham
Brothers, Hunlocks Creek, and new
lines in addition to the original
Massey Harris units were taken on.
The annual auction of used equip-
ment was inaugurated in the sum-
mer of 1945, with Howard Sands
and M. L. Bunnell as auctioneers,
and the Ladies Aid at the Christian
Church serving noon lunch. This
auction caught on like wild-fire, and
has become part of the Back Moun-
tain Spring picture, drawing a
crowd measured in thousands and
successfully cleaning out all traded-
in equipment. :
Recently Mr. Long added another
service to his long string. His new
twenty-four hour service, the first
among National Farm Equipment
Dealers of Pennsylvania, will elimi-
nate costly delay for repairs of
broken down equipment, and make
it possible for a farmer who is up
against a deadline in weather to
have his tractor repaired while he
sleeps, or his truck reconditioned in
time for tomorrow's hauling.
The original small stock of equip-
ment has expanded beyond all rec-
ognition. It now includes water sys-
tems, garden tractors and chain
saws as well as mammoth farm ma-
chinery and harvesters that do
everything but write the invoices.
Nationally known concerns with
the Long Farm Machinery Company
at their Sweet Valley outlet include
the original Massey Harris, with
Oliver, New Holland, New Idea,
Frick, Iron Age, Mall, and Sim-
plicity.
Tracing Charles Long’s progress
from the cradle to his present posi-
tion of prominence as one of the
leading business men of the Back
Mountain, he was born in Sweet
Valley, son of Mr. and Mrs, McKin-
ley Long.
Educated: at Ross Township
schools, he attended Harveys Lake
high school for one year before
transferring to Nanticoke High.
Four years after graduation he
married Almira Post, also a native
of Sweet Valley. There are three
children, two girls and a boy.
Gloria Charlene 7, and Dean Alan
School. Wilma June, not yet ready
for the first grade, will start next
September.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Long are ac-
tive members of Sweet Valley Chris-
tian Church.
nearly 9, are students at the Mott.
It was noon when we started
toward “The world’s most wonder-
ful spectacle, ever-changing, alive
Grand Canyon,” as once described '
SO,
The unimpressive ride on routes
93 and 66 to Williams, Arizona,
gateway to the Grand Canyon,
took about six hours, Lodgings in
this small village were almost im-
possible to get as there seemed to
be more tourists than accommoda-
tions. The few that were available
were offered at a premium. Prices
skyrocketed unbelievably high be-
cause of the eleventh hour an-
xiety on the part of tourists to get
settled for the night. Everyone had
the same idea in mind; rest at
Williams overnight, and get an
early start for the canyon the
next morning.
The hour's ride to the canyon
Put Fruit Trees
In Now For Spring
Fruit trees are always an asset.
They have definite ornamental
value when in blossom in the early
spring. Later, as the season pro-
gresses, they make it possible, by
affording shade, to create an out-
door living room where tea can be
served on a shady terrace or where
the members of the family can en-
joy an evening meal on warm sum-
mer evenings.
“Though not fruits, asparagus and
rhubarb are also excellent food fare
that often are passed over in plan.
ning a garden. They are never
costly, and once established will last
for many years without much at-
tention.
Any home fruit garden must be
planned with care if you are to ob-
tain 100 percent results. If your
garden is small and space is at a
premium, use dwarf fruit trees that
require only a small space. It will
surprise you how much fruit you
will obtain from a dwarf apple tree.
Then, too, they usually come into
the bearing stage in a much shorter
time than larger trees.
Green Tomato Men Plan
Meeting For Tuesday
Members of Carverton Green
Tomato Cooperative Association’
will meet at Mountain Grange
Tuesday at 8:30 to discuss possibi-
lity for erection of sheds to facili-
tate packing. Leon Van Tuyle, presi-
dent, urges a large attendance.
Potato and Tomato Spray Asso-
ciation will meet at 7:30, Leon
Emanuel presiding. This, says Jim
Hutchison, is a loosely knit asso-
ciation arranging contracts on an
acreage basis for spraying, provi-
by John Burroughs, and it is truly |
‘| discovered in the canyon and on
{| distinct nations. The nomadic Na-
Arnolds Visit Grand Canyon Country
was most delightful and refresh-
ing; a definite change from the
desert lands we had traveled over
with a million moods—that is the! the day before, The roads were
smooth and wonderful. The lush
vegetation and rich, dense forests
were a welcome sight. Everything
seemed orderly and well kept. I
hoped it would continue to be so
for the rest of the trip.
Several times enroute we took
pictures of the deer, either graz-
ing nearby or crossing the road.
We arrived quite early in order to
see the everchanging colors.
Walking to the very rim, we
gazed over the great vastness, and,
speechless with amazement, heard
the same word repeated over and
over again by people passing by—
“Magnificient.” Watching from the
South Rim in the morning, when
the light slants lengthwise from
the Painted Desert, one sees the
great capes of the opposite rim
suddenly outlined in golden light,
against which their shapes loom
in hazy blues. Down in the gorge,
here and there, stretches of the
Colorado River reflect the sun-
light. An hour later all is changed,
the dark capes are brilliant-hued
and well defined. Scores of new
temples have emerged from the
purple gloom,
At midday the opposite walls
have flattened and the capes and
temples have lost their definite
shadows. We were told that just
after sunset, the red deepens to
dim purples; and the grays and
yellows and greens change to mag-
ical blues. The great sea of shift-
ing rainbow colors are exalting.
Words are inadequate to describe
the majestic grandeur and breath-
taking immensity of the earth’s
greatest chasm, which is more
than 12 miles wide and 217 miles
long, cut by the mighty Colorado
River as it rushes to the sea.
Over at the Government Obser-
vation Station, located on Yavapai
Point on the East Rim Drive, the
story of Grand Canyon is told by
means of telescopes focused on
features of interest below, and by
specimens and diagrams. A natur-
alist is in attendance to assist vis-
itors to a better understanding and
appreciation of the canyon. We
learned that about 500 ruins of an-
cient Indian pueblos have been
the rims. Cliff dwellings made by
these Indians are found along the
lower walls of the canyon in many
places, especially noteworthy ones
being at Clear Creek.
" The Indians of the Grand Case

bering about 200, live in Navasu

Continuing eastward, the route
led us to many more scenes of in-
terest and to the Wayside Mu-
seum of Archeology. At the end of
the drive is the Desert View Ob-
servation tower. Built of native
stone on the brink of the canyon,
the tower commands an outstand-
ing view of Grand Canyon and a
startling panorama of the Painted
Desert.
Westward from Grand. Canyon
Village, the West Rim Drive in-
cludes Powell, Hopi and Mohave,
each offering its own superb view,
and finally Hermit Rest, where a
unique rest house built of Canyon
boulders is an attraction in itself,
By this time we were tired and
hungry—walking to the different
points of interest in the clear,
fresh air certainly does work up
one’s appetite. We decided to stop
at Bright Angel Lodge for lunch.

browsing to be done in the var-
