| Keywords: My what a good dinner!, mess of wild green and corn bread, farmers can't wait until the stroke of the clock to start milking or plowing or mowing or harvesting. He must work, in season early and late for when the rain comes the seed should be in the ground not in the sack, frost, freeze or drought, wages paid on government jobs the farmers can't hire help, Unionizing of farm laborers would only accentuate the injustice and check the industry, for no man is going to raise huge crops that require considerable hired help and know he is at the mercy of the harvester, whether the crop is cranberries, grapefruit, strawberries, wheat, hay or oats. Such organizations might work in Russia where the land has been taken from its owners and worked by gangs.
