farmer who lived ulone mver took a dailv paper and had no radio unless someone caljed in to see him or hi met othir farmers down town hi knew nothlne all of what was going on in thi world even in hu own province or district often we thought it vas a terrible wa to live on the other hand what a lot of hcadach that man was saed he went his way minded hi own business and had no work j abou current wars politics accidents murders or shipwrecks and in re gard to wenthir forecasts they could be right or they could be wronghe wouldnt know bui he did use his own judgtment he would look at the angry red sunset and brace himstlf against the high winds he kmw were coming or if the wind was in the east and a chill raw feeling in the air he gave the young cattle extra fed and kept them in for the night this old man was in the world but definitely tint of it yt t h was a good neighbour and always i ready to lend a hand in time of trouble he lived simplv and lasted a ot longer than mum of bis t riertds and m ighbours w ho possi sed greater know u dgi of a sort deal more than hi did this old man without help f reading or radio had been a wuft dirful farmey hl callk wir well looked aftir his horse his iov mid pride his fields clean and his buildings in good repair befort we heard much about soil const rvation hia farmer practiced contour ploughing on the hilly fields of his farm not
