FORESTER
(Continued from last week)
In other sections of Georgia
where there are no mountains,
farmers boast of their large
fields, containing two to five
hundred acres, perhaps; as a
matter of fact, I’ve seen some
powerfully big ones in middle
and South Georgia, true enough
But boys, when these fellows on
Lookout and Sand Mountains
start hauling off green beans
as long as fire pokers, sweet and
Irish potatoes resembling gallon
syrup buckets, watermelons as
large as nail kegs and other pro¬
duce just as fine, it makes ’em
take notice . . . I'm telling you.
Then get down in the valley, (es¬
pecially creek bottoms) and
you’ll find some more eye-open-
>rs . . . For instance, ears of corn
no sfaller than grown coons
lespedeza and alfalfa hay grow¬
ing as high as a martin box,
wheat, oats and other grains
turning out exceptionally high
yields . . . Can’t tell me . . . Dade
County has the soil and by dog¬
gies, Dade County has the farm¬
ers who know what to do with it.
Our 4-H Clubs and various
farm organizations, certainly are
worthy groups and are of tre
mendous help to the citizens of
the county. Would like to add,
too, that we have one of the most
wide-awake civic clubs in the
state, the Dade County Lions
Club. Also organisations for
young folks, women, veterans
etc., etc. Though, unfortunate
ly, we are a little short on school
buildings, we have plenty of
churches ... As a matter of fact
we in Dade County are just
bountifully blessed with practic¬
ally everything and frankly,
believe we are beginning to re¬
alize this fact . . . yes, realize
as never before.
Come to think of it, some of
the readers of The Times might
be interested to know that the
writer of this column is nothing
shy of a mighty fine farmer
you can just bet your bottom
dollar on that, (don’t bet more
than ad dollar, however). Yes
sir-e-e-e, I looked at the north
end of a mule, for nigh on 18
years. To say nothing of tieing
wheat and oats behind Pa when
he was harvesting with a cradle
gathering corn when we would
have to wait in the field for day
light ... Ah shucks, plenty of
frost. Then,I was a mighty fine
pea picker; also cotton picker
. . . Some days I could get as
high as 90 pounds of cotton. At
any rate, I was a farmer, and
still am . . .on the farm is where
I expect to sure enough LIVE
and spend my last days.
They might talk about Byron
Forester gathering 70 bushels of
corn off a single acre, but that’s
nothing. I really worked when
I farmed, I mean WORKED.
I remember one year, By¬
was four days gathering his

patty I gathered mine in
than two days with a one-
outfit, ah shucks.
Which, by the way, reminds
of a typical joke I believe
