CHoPPING CORN FODDER

CHOPPING CORN FODDER
Turning a crank is a part of
the American heritage. Half a
century ago, farm boys turned
cranks on grindstones and
churns. In fall and winter, the
turnip chopper and one-hole corn
sheller represented a daily stint.
In late summer a 14-year-older
dreaded the verdict. Son." faith

chopping fodder for the cows to-
night"
No doubt chopped corn fodder
was good feed for the mixers.
Summer pastures dried up and
a good farmer wanted supple
mental green feed. On many
general farms it was standard
practice to plant a patch of field
corn to put through the chopper.
Naturally, a lad wondered why
the cows couldn't serve as their
own chopping machines, but
farmers believed that chopped
corn meant more milk.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
I have a very serious
problem. 1 am Is years
old and married to a won
derful 17-year-Old girl.
Kathy, my wife and l are
very much in love. l have
a good job so supporting
her is no problem. The
problem is her parents who
diSapprOved of our mar
riage and they don't heSi-
tate to tell us about it. We
both are considered good
looking, in fact Kathy even
won a couple of beauty con-
tests while she was in
school. Her mother says
we married only because Of
sex appeal.
If she stressed the fact
that we were too young l
could see her point, but 1
do not agree with her that
we married for sex alone.
Several times she has tried
for an annulment and has
come close to succeeding.
A short time ago we found
out that Kathy is pregnant
and she is fearful of what
her mother will say and
do.
She knows it would be
wrong but she is beside
herself with fear. l want
her to have the baby and
forget her mother. / am
sick and tired of her
mother trying to govern
our lives. l am in favor
of telling her sO-the only
reason 1 haven't already
done it is because of Kathy.
What do you think?

AS a parent 1 can under
stand why Kathy's parents
were not very happy about
her marrying so young. How
ever, now that you are mar

as cooperative as possible.
