by side with Big Joe, and they
had sacrificed everything, denying
themselves the very necessities Of
life in order to make the payments
on the farm. Then little Joey had
come to crown their happiness. A
mutual pride and Joy which they
had shared in watching other things
grow on the farm had then been
centered in Joey.
Martha had decided that life was
practically perfect until one day
big Joe had come in from his work
in mid-morning. Surprised to see
him, Martha had inquired what was
wrong. Joe just stared off into
space, and then he answered.
Martha, there's something wrong
with me. I'm weak and tired all the
time, and I keep coughing and
coughing"
For the first time Martha noticed
how tired Joe really did look. She
suggested that he see & doctor at
cnce, but big Joe said he probably
just had spring fever. The following

Saturday when they went to town,
she had persuaded him to stop in
to see old Doc Crane.
It hadn't taken Doc long to de-
eide that Joe should have some
X-rays. The following month the
X-rays were taken by the county
health officer in the new mobile unit,
and Doc Cranes fears had been
substantiated. Doc suggested Ari-

Martha could still remember
those two weeks when she and Joe
had planned how they could make
out if she could keep the farm 60
ing. Her father would help and
little Joey would continue to school.
Big Joe was not to worry, but ex-
ert all his effort toward getting
well again.
The first year, things had gone
very smoothly indeed, until the
rheumatism laid her father on the
shelf. Martha was desperate. All the
spring work lay ahead, and it was
impossible to find anyone to take
over the work. She had talked it
over with Joey, and together they
had decided to 60 it alone. She
could still hear little Joey as he
said.
Gee, Nom, I'm big enough to
do the work. Grampa let me plow
some last year. and I'm lots big

So Joey had become the man Of

right time would come r. time
when he might be strong enough
to stand the heartbreak. Perhaps
in q few weeks before Joey re.
turned to school, or when Miller
moved in to sharecrop the farm.
The summer had come and gone
swiftly. Already the first sugges-
ton of impending autumn was no.
ticeable in the coloring Of the
countryside. The crops had been
abundant, and the harvests were
good for Joey and Martha. Many
had bestowed compliments and
Joey glowed with pride when the
men had remarked about the size
of the yield during the threshing
season.

litter raised to weaving age.
To qualify for star in the Hamp-
shire production registry a sow
must raise litter of at least eight
pigs, without fault or defect, to
weigh 800 pounds within Sc days
of farrowing. And of course to gain
a "seven-star" record Ringold
Lady Dora has repeated this per-
formance seven times. She is the
first sow in the Hampshire breed
to be listed for either the sixth or
seventh "star" litterS.
In her seventh "star" litter, this
sow farrowed Is pigs, nine of which
were saved. The eight selected for
registration weighed 443 pounds
at Sc days after narrowing.
The production champion was fed

pigs were creep fed early and
raised on a ration of seven parts
corn and three parts oats, with 8

ment that steps up crop producing
efficiency and lowers output costs
per unit
Good soil management involves
no magic or mystery. It simply
means playing fair with the soil by
returning organic matter and plant
nutrients used up by constant crop
production. Organic matter can be
restored by growing deep-rooted
legumes such as alfalfa or sweet
clover in the rotation and blowing
them under for green manure.
When the soil is reStocked with
organic matter and plant food you
will get higher yields and you will
cut your production costs.

Farm production costs have near

These costs totaled 14.9 billion dol

Meanwhile, farm prices have

with you going back to school il
we hadn't found someone to take
over this winter"
Suddenly Martha knew that the
time had come to tell Joey the un-
happy secret which she had carried
now for more than a year in her
grief-stricken heart. But how could
she bring herself to do it? She must
strive to make it as easy as pos
sible.
She swung the car into their
lane, and pulled to stop in the
yard before the kitchen door. The
purchases were quickly unloaded,
and joey lighted fire in the big
kitchen range. Now was the time!
Even before she removed her
wraps, Martha laid her arms across
Joey's shoulders. and began.
Joey, dear, there's something
I've been wanting to tell you for a
long time. I've been so proud OF
you this summer, and Well,
somehow it seemed I just couldn't
spoil everything you were working
so hard for with bad news. Now
,r0 e.
we're so fortunate to have Miller
coming.
II want you to work hard at
school this fall" she continued as
she noted the questioning look in
his eyes. Then she simply related,
God decided that you and had q
job to do together, Joey :. Your
Father will never be able to come
home. In fact" she continued as
she struggled to hold back the tears,
''he may have only a few more
months to live"
There was a long moment OF 81
lence moment which lasted
an eternity for Martha. "Oh, dear
God, make him understand, she
prayed silently.
Joey didn't say word but drew
his mothers face to his own and
kissed her, tenderly and boyishly.
He patted her softly on the cheek.
Jaw, gee, Nom, l understand, "
he said, and the tears stood in the
corners of his eyes. Martha could
see how brave he was trying to be.
NOW better. take care of my feed
ing," he said somewhat hoarsely.
''Can we have the pecan roll we got
in town for our supper. Mom?" he
asked as he changed from his suit
coat into his overall jacket. The
coat was thrown carelessly across
the seat of a nearby chair. Martha
watched him walk slowly from the
room, firm set to his shoulders.
He took it like a man." she
thought, as she removed her own
wraps. Then she saw his coat lying
on the chair, and smiled, thinking,
HE acts like man in some ways,
but when it comes to his clothes,
he's all boy" She picked up the
coat to hang it properly. AS she did
so, small notebook and some pa
pers tumbled from the inside
pocket. Gathering them up to re.
place them, Martha was startled at
the sight of the yellow envelope
Could it be?
It was! Among the contents of
Joey's pocket was the well-worn and
much read telegram from the tu-
berculosis Sanitarium.

to her son who was entering the
spring house with a bucket of milk
in each hand.
20. K, Mom," shouted the lad
In, response, I'm through with the
milking. I'll be in as soon as I
clean up"
Martha watched him a few min
utes later as he trudged toward the
house. He was big for IA, and with
faithful 'Shep" trotting along at
his heels, Joey made an impressive
picture against the backdrop of the
setting sun.
"Just like a magazine cover"
thought Martha, as tears of pride
welled up into her eyes. Her little
man. joey had shouldered a burden
during the past year that many a
man could not have handled as well.
The plowing, planting. fence re-
pairs, and the thousand odd chores
that must be completed on a farm
had all been mastered by Joey. He
seemed to almost relish his role as
man of the house while dad was
away.
Day after day he had toiled in
the fields with the team while other
boys his age were swimming, fish
ing, and berrying, unhampered by
the cares of labor But Joey had
seemed impervious to their COM
ings and goings. Many evenings at
the supper table. Martha noticed
the boy doing from exhaustion. A
spoon or fork would often pause,
suspended midway between mouth
and table. She never gave utterance
to this observation of WEAKNESS,
lest her sympathy extinguish his
feeling of being the family bread
winner Their conversations were
those of business partners rather
than mother and son.
Martha longed to tuck him In at
night, or to hug his tow head to
her breast. Little Joey was her only
consolation in her longing for Big
Joe. Countless times during the
lonely nights. she had tiptoed quiet
ly into his room to stand beside the
bed where he slept Often she ca
resSed his blond head or kissed him
lightly on the cheek as he lay deep
in the refreshing sleep of child
hood. Each time, she struggled
within herself to check the tears
of love and loneliness as she slipped
quietly back to her own empty
room, fearful lest she waken him
and bring his big world tumbling
down around him
Joey was living from day to day
in world of big responsibility, and
she could not. in spite of her long
ing to be more demonstrative to-
ward her 14-year-old. jolt him into

the reason why she had never told
Joey about his father.

ceived the telegram from the Ari-

case of tuberculosis-it was just
matter of months. But how could
she tell Joey? The knowledge of
her unshared grief had caused her
to shed thousands of inner tears in
Joey's presence. and endless nights
of heart-breaking sobs in her own
