said. ITO this day. If you're
carrying a bucket she will fol-
low you everywhere"
In the spring. everything
comes to life on farm.
THE country is not the
incest place in winter" Mr..
Baldwin said. I'm the winter,
you are living for the spring"
Spring is also the time when
birds come back to the country
side to nest and raise their
young.
Every Bush Full"
Every bush was full of baby
birds this spring" Mrs. Bald
win said. The mocking birds
were in the rose bush. We had
robins in the lilac bush. There
are meadow larks in another
rose bush. And blue bird has
a nest in a post with a hole in
1t. And the barn is full Of
swallows"
Mrs. Baldwin added that a
pair of wrens also has nested
In the well house every spring
since they've had the farm.
Each year, she said. they Sc
lect a different corner of the
well house to build the nest.
You can't get lonesome on
a farm" she said. There's
too much going on all the
time"
There are lots of little things
you learn on a farm that you
never could learn in a lifetime
IN the city.
For instance. suppose you
had two litters of rabbits-one
large litter and one small litter
and you found that the large
litter was too much for the
mother rabbit to handle. What
would you do? To a city resi-
dent this would be a problem
for Solomon, perhaps. but the
Baldwins know just what to do.
You can take some babies
out Of the large litter and give
them to the mother with the
small litter-divide them up
but you have to fool the mother
by putting citronella on her
nose so she can't smell the
difference" Mrs. Baldwin said.
"And you can do the same
thing with any small animal"
Plenty Of Troubles, Too.
The Baldwins wouldn't say
that farm life is idyllic at all.
There are plenty of troubles.
Evening star., 1949-06-25

and emergencies. and hard
work.
Sometimes when I sit down
I feel as If every bone in my
body was breaking" said Mrs.
Baldwin. with a smile.
Last winter they had II sows
that had litters totaling 10 baby
pigs. Caring for them kept the
Baldwins busy. Then they
bought two steers and discoy-
cred they had shipping fever"
They called the veterinarian
and dosed them with sulfa and
penicillin and cared for them
for an entire month. That was
trouble enough, but then. in
the early spring. a calf was
born dead. And another calf
had pneumonia.
When I first heard her
breathing that morning I knew
she had pneumonia. Mrs.
Baldwin said.
On a farm you must be pre-
pared to meet emergencies. and
you must always be planning
what to do ahead of time. Once
you get the hang Of things.
however. duties follow a certain
pattern.
"One thing follows the
other" Mr.. Baldwin said. "The
seasons run into each other.
All winter you're killing your
meat. making sausage and
things like that. and before
you know 1t March comes
around and you're planting,
Evening star., 1949-06-25

and then you plant again In
May. You really plant three
times"
Little Jobs In Between.
And in between the main
jobs. come the little jobs.
It's time now to make sauer-
kraut." Mrs. Baldwin said.
The cabbage Is waiting for
me out in the garden"
And then. Of course. you feed
the stock and the poultry. and
milk the cows twice q day.
and cultivate the corn, and pull

the same thing could happen If
rain dampened the hay again.
If 1t gets hot 1t can either
burn up without flame or can
explode and 60 UP in a min
ute" he said. In that case,
there would be danger the barn
might catch fire.
+ Children Are Visitors
The Baldwins said that eight
groups Of kindergarten chill
dren were brought to the farm
last summer to get their first
view Of farm animals.
They all wanted to see the
little pigs" Mrs. Baldwin said.
"And to sit on the tractor"
The Baldwins have found
that many persons who live in
cities have little appreciation
of the essential nature Of farm
life.
, One time, Mrs. Baldwin said,
q visitor to the farm who was
watching baby pigs in a field
exclaimed:
They're just as ugly when
they're little as when they're
big!"
Mrs. Baldwin said to the
visitor:
II don't think sol"
Mrs. Baldwin has to smile
when she thinks about another
city woman who held her hand
kerchief to her nose when she
entered the barn.
Some people think milk
comes out of a bottle" Mrs.
Baldwin said. good-naturedly.
Mr.. Baldwin said he thought
the average family would un-
derstand farm life better II
they had an opportunity to
live on q farm. He was born
in Washington and Mrs. Bald
win was born In Ballston.
Neither would now want to live
In a city.
Names For Animals.
Farm animals are q never
ending source Of interest and
fascination to the BaldwinS.
They have names for many Of
them. and with each name
goes a personality.
Gussie, for example. Is q
pure-bred Hereford bull calf
whose father once belonged to
the Edward r. Stettinus herd.
"He was so little, I brought
him home In burlap bag"
Mrs. Baldwin said.
Other Baldwin animals with
names are "Haymoo," a Guern-
sey heifer; Matt" the 20-year-
old horse who doesn't have to
work anymore; Lady" west
ern riding horse; Jackie" and
Elsie" both mixed Jersey
cows; Charlie" Flemish
giant buck rabbit, and Cutie
Pie" q purebred Hereford
heifer.
"She was raised on milk
from q bucket" Mrs. Baldwin

grave reflection affecting the integ-
rity of the community as well as
effectiveness of the law as it stands

No Further Deadline
In Jobs Seen

If you have a job now there is a
good chance that you will keep it
the remainder of the summer.
Jonathan Bliss, district manager
of the Florida State Employment
Service, believes unemployment has
just about reached its peak.
While there are more people out
of work here now than at any time
since the war. the FSES chief
blames some of this on the increas-
ed population, explaining more
people are working this year than
last.
Construction workers who were
anticipating one of their busiest
seasons, express disappointment over
the situation as it has developed.
Johnson believes one reason for
the job shortage is the lack of va
r8ety offered here. 1.-THE building
trades are having to carry too much
OF the load" he said.
The union leader said he is going
to try to get other labor men to
start a movement to bring industry
here to relieve pressure on builders.

Dolby Fined For
Attempted Steal

It's no sin to steal, but it's a
crime to be caught doing it. Larry
Dolby, Cleveland centerfielder found
this out Wednesday night when he
was fined after a futile attempt to
steal home against the Yankees.
Manager Lou Boudreau, who did
not disclose the amount of the fine,
told newsmen:
"It was based not only on that at
tempt to steal home tonight. Larry
has taken several unnecessary
chances lately. This should make
him more careful"
Dolby tried to romp home from
third in the eighth inning with the
bases loaded and nobody out. But
Joe Page, the Yankee pitcher, whirl-
ed and threw to catcher Yogi Berra.
Berra tagged Dolby as he dove head
first across the plate.
The fans let go at third base
coach Steve O'Neil after Dolby was
tagged, but O'Nenl had nothing to
do with the play that helped stall a
rally.
Said Berra: "Sure, he surprised
me. Who'd think guy would try a
stunt like that?"
Dolby could not be reached for
