Sells Farm.


Sells Farm.
A deal was closed last week where
by A. P. Jensen sold his home farm
of 240 acres and stock and machin-
cry, to his son, Alvin j. Jensen, and
family, to take effect as of March l.
A. P. gives as one reason for quitting
now, the uncertainty of getting rell-
able help. Another reason, he said,
was, after q years of hard work
making a farm out of brush land,
being told that as farmer he would
have to work harder and put in
longer hours. It was just too much
for his nerves. Besides he did not
like the crazy nuisance of wartime
daylight saving time"
A. P. is not certain as to future
plans but would like to take short
vacation and do some visiting before
spring work starts. He will pos
sibly try to be a hired man during
the summer months as he thinks a
present day hired hand has much
easier time and more pay than when
he worked on farm about so years
ago at SIS a month in the winter and
S18 during the summer months.
If his health is still good when
times are normal once more Mr..
Jensen may again try his hand at
actual farming as he still has 272
acres of land along the Kettle river,
near Rutledge. This land is partly
improved. Mr.. Jensen also sold 30
acres of land in Section l, Finlayson
township, the same day the above
deal was made, to Gordon Scovil1e.
Alvin ]. Jensen, who has been con-
nected with the Ferndale Nursery
the past three years, has sold the
stock and machinery on his place in
Norman township, to his brother,
Walter, who is renting the farm.
