Sixty Acres More or Less
by HtTTy D. LoIEI' Nv
York. Macmillan Co.

Every one who has had an eager
desire to fix up an old farmhouse
and become the owner of few acres
in the country will enjoy this diary
of a weekend Vermonter."
Much too brief (only 142 pages to
cover the subject as comprehensive
ly and penetratingly as Charles Allen
Smart's "R. F. d." Mr.. Lent's book
nevertheless is an engaging account
of the back-to-the-farm venture OF
a New York businessman and his
family. The quest for the right"
farm, the problems of remodeling
the old house and the character of
Vermont and Vermonters are dis
cussed with amiable enthusiasm.
For those whose plans go beyond
mere wishfulness, there are some
practical ideas for remodeling and
pertinent cost figures. P. w. F.
