Ti e weather is very threaten-
i.i;; rgrin. It seems that the far¬
mers wont have time to plow
much before it rains, Plow a few
rows and then comes a rain and
freeze. This is fa r m life. We
should not be pessimistic, look¬
ing all the time at the dark side,
but rather look, hope for and
talk about ft belter, brighter and
more pleasant days. One must
J vs through the dark winter and
.uiu to fuily appreciate the beau¬
ties of the happy spring. After
the rain the sun shines brighter,
the birds sing sweeter and the
man leols better.

peach crop this year. It means a

are large orchards at every point

field and Daniel have been out on
tLeir farm for several days plant¬
ing t;ees. They havo been work¬
ing and when they come m at
night they have the look of the
fnme., a steady, honest look, one
which is an honor to have. May
ihev prosper in their f. uit indus¬
