Electricity For The Farmer

What is farmers time worth?
What is he worth an hour? Does he
charge his bulsiness-the business of
farming with the value of the time he
gives to it? And does he know how
much time he is giving to executive
work and productive labor and how
much to non-productive labor? The
farmer who is not giving these things
a little thought is not in the front rank
of those who are making of farming
what it really should be- business on
business basis.
The average gross income from a
farm of one hundred and fifty acres will
be something over So, 900, and to pro-
duce that income between 1000 and
5000 hours of productive labor are re-
quired. This makes the average pro-
ductive labor hour worth about 4C
cents.

Did You =?

Did you ever have appendicitis
Did you ever have tonsils removed
Did your heart. your liver and kidneys 60
wrong?
Is your tongue all furrowed and grooved?
If they haven't, but do, then know place
In the hills in big grove of trees.
Where the nurses like angels look down in
your face,
And the doctors just fit by with ease.
You're bleeding to death and they smile
as you pass,
You're freezing or perhaps in a cast,
But grip of the hand from one Of that
clan
Makes you think you're in Heaven at last.
There's never frown. but always smile.
Nothine's ever too much to do.
And the sicker you are the nicer the are
Till as time goes-you don't want to.
So when old Gabriel blows his horn
That's where | want to be.
For the smile that welcomes you when
you arrive.
When you leave. you're sure to see.
