Other Estates
Similarly the Hermitage,
President Jackson's 257-acre
estate near Nashville, and Lin
denwald. Van Buren's estate
near Kinderhook, N. Y, were
holdings where elegance over
shadowed agriculture.
Many Presidents had knoWl-
edge of the land and farming,
even if they did little farming
themselves.
Townsend'S U. S. Index lists
the business of the fathers of
Washington, jefferson, Madi-
son and Monroe as planters"
and the father of John Adams
as a farmer" the description
given thereafter to many IA
theirs of Presidents.
Presidents who came from
farm families include Jackson,
Van Buren, Polk, Taylor, Fill
more, Pierce. Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, Harrison, Hayes,
Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and
Truman.
President Grant had a spell
as farmer. but it was a mean
existence and he preferred to
forget it. In 1854 he resigned
from the Army on the Pacific
Coast and returned East.
Il was now to commence"
he writes in his autobiography,
"a new struggle for our sup
port. My wife had a farm
near st. Louis, to which we
went. but l had no means to
stock it. If nothing else
could be done I would load a
cord of wood on a wagon and
take it to the city for sale. 1
managed to keep along very

attacked by fever and age.
In the fall of 1858 I sold
out my stock, crops and farm
ing utensils at auction. and
gave up farming"
He never tried farming
again.
F. D. RS forming"
Among recent Presidents,
the estate of Franklin D.
Roosevelt at Hyde Park has
been the most publicized. Never
a working farmer, he identi-
fed himself. jokingly. at the
polls as both a farmer" and
a tree grower" The latter
description is more apt. for he
had a keen interest in the tree
nursery at Hyde Park.
His tree project, at first a
hobby. began to yield profits
in 1939-40, and later was
dramatized by the sale of
Christmas trees from the
nursery by son Elliott on New
York City street corners.
At F.. D. RS death, the size
of the Hyde Park estate was in
dicated by the sale by the trus-
tees of 842 acres to Mrs.
Roosevelt and the disposition
of 400 acres to other pur-
chasers. About so acres were
given to the Federal Govern
ment for the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Library and the RooSe-
velt home, now a national
shrine.

BY GEORGE FLYNN

President Eisenhower's in
creasing interest in farming
as evidenced by his more fire.
quent trips to his Gettysburg
estate-is beginning to bear
comparison with other PreSi-
dents who made agriculture
an interest in later life.
While his 473 acres COM
prise a small tract by contrast
to the great plantations of
Washington and jefferson,
pride of ownership and dill
gence in developing the land
and animal stock seems to be
growing with somewhat the
same intensity.
Acreage Deceptive
Acreage was not always the
key. Washington, while he
owned as much as 100000
acres at one time, concen-
trated his efforts on 5000
acre Mount Vernon, where he
could watch his paintings at
first hand.
Il think with you." WASH
ington wrote to Alexander
Spotswood in 1888, that the
life of a husbandman of all
others is the most delectable."
That same year he wrote to
Arthur Young, a British friend,
THE more I am acquainted
with agricultural affairs the
better 1 am pleased with them.
I can nowhere find so great
satisfaction as in those inno-
cent and useful pursuits.
His biographer. Douglas
Southall Freeman, says of
him: Whether patriot and
statesman or patriot and SOL
dier. Washington never ceased
to be the planter agricul-
ture remained the only hobby
of his life"
Washington was attracted,
too. by land in Southeastern
Pennsylvania. In 1870, while
living in Philadelphia, then the
National Capital, he was
tempted to buy farms outside
the city. so he could get a taste
of rural life. He felt confined
by his presidential duties in
the city. But he couldn't ar
range a swap for speculative
lands he then held in Western
Pennsylvania.
Scientific Pioneer
Jefferson was perhaps our
greatest President. for
he pioneered in experiments
in crop rotations and soil-ero-
sion control. Around his beau
tiful Monticello in Albemarle
County. Va. he saw the men,
ace of the endless sequence of
tobacco and corn, planted in
rows that ran uphill and down,
fostering the runoff of virgin
topsoil.
He tried alternating crops,
including legumes, the use of
fertilizers and deep plowing.
and contouring of fields to pre-
vent waShouts. Hugh H. Ben
nett, Department of Agricul-
ture writer, says jefferson ran
his farms-at one time total
ling 10000 acres-as successful
business enterprises.
But Jefferson's hospitality
ate up his produce and profits
and he died virtually penni-
less.
Presidents Madison and Mon
roe eXemplified the gracious
life of Virginia planters, with
the result that their holdings
are better remembered as
showplaces than as farms.

Bringing absent members of the
family to a reunion via the tape re-

able to attend from Fortuna, Mo-, but
they sent their voices to speak for
them.
A tape recording prepared by the
absent family included greetings, mu-
sical selections and conversations of
interest to their family. The tape
was brought here by Mr.. and Mrs.
Leroy Stucky who had spent part of
their Christmas vacation at Pretty
Prairie, Kan, and Fortuna.
After the tape was played, a new
recording was made by the Bixel
family with greetings to the AL
brechts, snatches of conversations
from the dinner table, and music in
cluding the German New Years Song
by the young people.

What is even more important, the
gentle little chicadee, winter song
bird who apparently deserted this
area for the past Is winters or more,
has returned to sing|his gay song on
the Bluffton scene.
The authority fqr these early 1855
observations is Professor H. w.
Berky of Bluff ton college. Mr..
Berky's first Robin was spotted under
the apple tree in his own back yard.
No hold-over from the past summer,
this fellow. He was a stranger to
the Berkys,. who would know full well
if one of their feathered friends
decided to stay behind for the winter.
The turtle doves were also spotted
by Prof. and Mrs. Berky in the back
yard of the DR.. Francis Basinger
home. This specie, while not likely to
venture into the deep south come
winter, at least fly far enough below
the Ohio river to return with an ac-
cent. This year, their stay was not
for long.
AS to the little black-capped chica-
dee, Frof. Berky says he has been sur
prised to see them frequently this
winter on the campus. This is the
first time in the last Is years that he
has noticed a single chicadee winter
ing over in this area. The Bluffton
mans observation has also been shar-
ed by other bird lovers of the area.
The chicadee is a small mouse
colored bird with a black cap and a
little black 'fbeard" on the throat. 1t
is easily confused, said Prof, Berky
with the tufted titmouse. The latter
is much the same size and color, but
is identified by a little top-notch
similar to that of cardinal. They
are very friendly, and quite numer-
