As a result, soon after breakfast one morning along came two young fellows with a chain saw to work on the trees. Be- fore they could get to" the bush, there was an-elm in the lame that had /to be removed. It had blown down 'in-a recent high wind and was blocking the "road. But'when the men got busy with their chain, saw, that elm was _cut_ into' lengths | and the road cleared in no.time at all. Then the men, with their equipment, went on up-to the bush. Inside of two hours, we saw their small tractor swing-around into the. ard with. one big log behind it. his was repeated until there were four'logs lying on the ground in the In the meantime, a truck had half an hour from the time the logs were hreught down from the bush, they were loaded on fhe truck and going down 'the road on their. way - to the lumber mill. The loading had been done by means of a chain at- tached to the tractor--so there was . no heavy labor involved at all. Just think of all the work that had been done inside of three hours. The fallen elm had been cut into iengths to clear a roadway; the. iwo oak trees had been cut down in the bush and four big logs cut out of them, and another big oak that was- dead had been cut-down for ourselyes, * : Before the _ truck pulled out, , Partner called me to the window and said, "Look . +==see how easily a job like that can be done these days!

It should = also be remembered that when such 'jobs ean _be done so easily by machinery, it is one more proof that labor is of secondary importance on present-day farms. Yet that fact alone makes it more be on thg alert--they have to be if they would take advantage of mod- ern methods in doing things. Farm- ers, now, must know" more, than how to be tillers of the soil." Well, - dealing with the oaks and the elm was a minor matter--right now we have a more serious prob- lem on our hands. must let up on the work, and to get away from the idea that he must work from dawn to..dark. But --<babit is hard to break. Partner has been told by doctors and specialists to go easy; his brothers and sisters have todl "him the same thing; Daughter .is on the sanie track when she comes home, but now Rob and I are really reading the "riot act! Not but what we have tried to_do_it before, but in_a more "modified way. I suppose. the harder a person has 'worked, the more difficult it is for him--or* her--to relax and let someone else take 'over. Yet it is _s0 much easier if such persons will 'recognize the fact that creeping up on them and that they have their limitations in regard to . the 'amount of work they can do. For a farmer, selling out and retir- ing to a place in town is not always the answer. It works all right in some. cases--in others it doesn't. But there is such a thing as retiring on the farm, and for the man whose - whole heart and soul is wrapped up .in >the land he has worked for 20 many- years; in the stock he has made, then surely it is the best - solution to the problem. Moreover, when a farmer has lived through a depression and come out on top, then a sort of semi-retirement on 'the farm is more to be desired than a sudden 'severing of activities to which "he. 'has become accus- tomed. Ary doctor' will tell you that too drastic a physical change tis not only unwise, it is.dangerous. So that is the gist of our' daily sermon to Partner, "Keep working, "but take it easy .. . let up. relax , .-. the farm won't dissolye into thin air as a result!"
