tertained a group of them at her
home on her ninetieth birthday.
Most of her contemporaries
have moved from their farms
into towns in the area. Mrs. John
| sons two children have urged
her to give up her farm and move
into the city. But she has always
refused.
Even at the age of 80, she
feels she must still do her part
respectfully now that food is
needed abroad"
She handles most of the farms
finances herself. She and her son
grow most of the food they need
and trade some of their produce
at the local store for the other
things they want. The farms
chickens lay four or five dozen
eggs a day, and the Johnson's
own eight head of cattle and
two horses.
When Mrs. Johnson first came
to this country from a farm in
Orsadalarna, Sweden, with her
parents, three sisters and a broth
er, the family lived in a five
room farmhouse on the same
property that is farmed by the
Johnsons now.
In those days they walked
to the nearest town to get flour
from the mill, and carried it
home on their backs.
In the old days, too, about 30
threshers gathered at the place
at harvest time. Those we're the
days of woodworking tractors
when the threshers stayed all
night, ate breakfast at $50 in
the morning, coffee at 7, din
ner at II, coffee again at 3, and
a second dinner before shutdown.

Isanti, MINI. - Mrs. Christine
Johnson, at the age of 90, still
does most of her own work on
her farm near here, and still en-
Joys the job.
The farm, pretty much as 1t
was when she came to this coun-
try from Sweden in 1873, has
neither electricity nor running
water. She likes it that way. In
fact, when electric power is
brought into the area, probably
this year, Mrs. Johnson isn't 60
ing to take advantage of it.
81 don't know what I'd want
it for" she says. 1--WE gotten
by in other years without it,
and | don't need it now"
Mrs. Johnson, who speaks only
Swedish but understands and
reads English, lives on the 10
acre farm with her son, Alben.
He does the actual farming, but
Mrs. johnson does all the wo-
mans work on the place. That
includes baking bread twice a
week, milking three cows, feed
ing the calves and chickens,
ehurning butter, spinning yarn
and making her own clothes.
The calves are fed with a special
cruel she makes herself.
Once a year her daughter
comes up from Minneapolis to
give the house a thorough spring
housekeeping. Although Mime
apolis is only a half hours drive
from the farm, Mrs. johnson
has not been to the city for ten
years. But she does get around
to visit her old friends in neigh
boring towns. Last July she en-

with a dasher, but now Mrs.

modern churn that is turned
with a handle.

rooms for the 90-year-old woman
to keep clean. One of the rooms
is a best parlor that is opened
up only for company. Covering
the entire floor is a plaid rug

She also uses the room to

in her spare time.

Mountain spotted fever is the

palachians had the most cases in
the nation last year-93. Health
authorities now are distributing
vaccine against the disease and
warning people to check any skin

tick that spreads the ailment.
The tick waits four hours after
biting before shooting germs in
