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

And then you will have the thrill of knowing that the author has spoken to you on the air.
