the farm

When I turned eighteen I had to take over the farm. My dad went to work on a constrution job. So that left my mother and two brothers and two sisters to take care of the farm.

My older brother had to get married when he was still in high school. And he had to work out to support his new family.

So that left just my mother and younger brother and two sisters to take care of the farm.

I won't let my younger brother stay home to help me out on the farm and my older sister, she didn't like the farm anyhow. So she wasn't going to help out.

My younger sister she was just two. So that left her out.

One morning I was talking to Mom about getting a hired man to help me out.

"I am going to town to pick up some stuff at the feed mill this morning and I will ask around about getting some one. If they don't know of any one I will place a add in the paper."

"Let's hope you will find some one to help you. You can't keep this up only getting a couple of hours of sleep a night."

"I know, Mom. I am realy tired but I have to keep going if I am going to get the crops in and all."

"Well, good luck."

At the mill. I was asking if anyone knew of any one that needed a job.

Bill said, "Sure, I do. My son is looking for a job on a farm as he hates the factory work."

"Have him come out to see me then, as I needed to hire some one like two days ago."
