Excerpt from Old Days Recalled
And so it came that my father when he was just over twenty-one years of age, settled down to the family calling. Down in the lowest spot of the Merse he farmed 523 acres of land. It was stiff, heavy land, like glue in wet weather and brick under summer suns. But catch it right, - which took patience, - and it was prolific. In my early memory it was wet, with big open ditches that worked slowly and none too well. Bare fallow covered with a coating of farm yard manure was followed by wheat and then clover.
