-— BITS OF
Southern
Sunshine
By Mrs. Henry Odum
De frost done nip de ’simmons,
And bit de ’taterc'vines,
Ready fer some jam en wines.
Thee locust backs are honey filled,
And nuts are falling fast,
The late pears hang like big tear
drops
Yes! Fall is here at last.
“Harvest”, and “gathering time"
have a poetic sound. But the
great job of harvesting Georgia’s
crops carries plenty of hard work,
backaches, blistered hands, and
gallons of perspiration, say noth
ing of disappointing put-put. First
of our crops come the oats that
have been sown in the fall—these
require PLENTY of hard work,
th - -ching the kernels and then
bailing the new straw foe hay . . .
today there are more modern ways
of caring for the oats and wheat
. . . even with these helps IT It
HARD WORK.
In many parts of the country
the “cradle” is still used, and it
takes ALL of a nsan to swing that
cradle in a rhythmic circle all
day . . . then another strong arm
must follow and “tie” and shock
each bundle—No . . . there is NO
poetry in THIS job.
Fodder pulling comes on the
heels of oats . . . gathering mel
ons and selling scruges in along
about now—this job is a pic-nic
one compared to “fodder-pullin”. I
Ever notice how the blades grow
on corn. Well take a look—they
gr- exactly opposite each other
on the stalk . . . and believe me
when a man reaches to the TIP
of every stalk, stripping blades
down to be formed into a “HAND”
. . . he’s done a days >rk ....
then tobacco farmers get busy
harvesting and marketing their
crops . . . this crop demands the
whole family and t' en more—it
goes on and on—week and weeks
on end—but like all farm crops
—IT finally comes to an end—and
happy is the farmer with plenty of
broad, golden leaves between the
“sand lugs” and the top.—Then
August — and peanuts . . . then
cutting and bailing hay . . . this
is a very essential crop for no
farmer is secure with out PLEN
TY of good, well-cured hay, I
heard a farmer say, “I can cure
ALL the hay I can get . . . then
a darned little old bull calf can
eat all of it” then comes pea- j
picking . . . this crop is a hay crop
and more essential is the delicious
food for the family . . . then 'la
ter diggin’ time oomee . . . MY!
IF there is any poetry in farming
it is in plowing and “pickin’ up” i
'taters, . . .
Hitch the old mule to the plow
stock,
Fer de ’taters am in prime,
Fix de buttermilk en gravy
Fer hits ’tater-diggin’ time.
Pull de vines ter feed the cattle, j
Plow on both sides O’ de row,
Bust de middle . . . see de big
’uns,
Dat’s how Georgia ’taters grow! *
Pile dem high in hills en baskets
Sweet new ’teters am sublime,
Fix de buttermilk en gravy,
Fer hits ’tater diggin’ time!
Then. Corn “pulling” and
“husking” time . . . did you ever
find the red ear at a corn husking?
