Hi John, Aw heck; wasn't trying to spill any blood. Just wanted to get a topic going to try to heat up the day. It got clear up to -1 out here on poverty hill today. :>) One time when I was a wee lad of about 12 or so, my dad had an 11-acre hay field that laid just out west of the corrals. For some darned reason, and I still don't know why to this day, but he let the neighbor come in there with his brand new IH square baler and warp it all up nice and pretty. Neighbor was so darned proud of himself 'cause he walked thru that field in no time at all and then he and his shiny new baler went home. Heck, all we had left to do was simply move the bales down to the end of the field and stack 'em next to the feed bunks. Dad even bought us three brand new red handled hooks for the occasion. :>) Dad did the buckin', Mom drove the rack and my brother and I stacked. By the second load, my brother got to cussin’ dad. First, I started cussin' my brother because he was cussin' dad; then after some reflection, decided that maybe he was right on topic and then I also got to cussin' dad. ‘Fore long, mom got to cussin' us boys 'cause we were cussin' dad. Another load later and dad was sweatin', he was tired of throwin' those cussed 90lb bales, and then he too started cussin' the neighbor and his darned baler! That was 50 some years ago and there has never been another square bale on the place since. Those darned brand new, $3, red handled hay hooks are still hangin' on a nail down there on the farm in the garage to this day. The whole family at supper that night pretty much was in agreement that puttin’ up hay using a small square baler bordered somewhere between total lunacy and a complete ancestral inbreeding disorder. :>) Allan

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
