5.45 A farming talk by A. G. Street
When A. G. Street was young, he caught minnows with a bottle, as many of you must have done. He dawdled through the meadows, rode horses through the ford when they were hauling hay from the fields, and when he grew up, where he had played as a child, he farmed. And that is why, like your friend
John Morgan , who talked to you about farming- up to his last illness, all that he says to you about farming rings true. 'One day, if you have not done so already, you may read one of his books, ' Farmers Glory' or Strawberry Roan '. And then you will have the thrill of knowing that the author has spoken to you on the air.
