the house under the porch. Later Bud
and rode horseback. He took me to
see the camping ground Of General
Sherman, which Miss Ellen had point
ed out to me the night Of my arrival,
and from there we took a circuitous
route home. He told me many Of the
difficulties Of farming In the county.
We passed number Of farmers, and
from each | learned something and
stored up in my mind many a quaint
anecdote for my letters from these
simple country folk One time when
Bud had ridden forward to consult
some one about getting extra hands l
rode up to a stolid looking individual
whom l saw sitting on rail fence
near by whiting stick. His beard
and hair were unkempt. and his whole
attitude was one Of supreme indiffer-
ence to his surroundings.
"Good morning." l said
Same to you." he answered without
looking up to see who had addressed
him.
How are your crops this year," I
asked.
Poor" was his monosyllabic reply.
Good last year?"
"Nup," with maddening Indifference.
Il hope your crops will be better
next year." ! ventured again.
doubt It," was all he would answer.
The field back OF him did not look en-
couraging. Despairing finally Of get
ting any information from him, drew
rein, preparing to join Bud, adding,
however, before leaving:
"Well, that's too bad"
With sudden animation he stopped
whiting for q moment to look up and
remark:
"'Tain't as bad as you think. my
friend. don't own this land"
rode of, laughing at this quaint
conception Of the value Of land. He
had not intended to be either witty or
humorous, but was sincere In trying to
disabuse my mind Of q false impress
sion might have of the extent Of his
troubles. When Bud rode up he ex-
planned to me that the man farmed
only on shares and had be owned the
land he would have been held respon-
sible for the interest on the mortgag &c.
Indeed, he said that to own certain OF
the land around that section was re-
garded as calamity.
That ride with Bud gave me much
material for letter, and when went
to my room I wrote until after mid
night. touched only on the general
condition Of the planters and petty

ments as I had CHANGED to pick up
