THE FARMER OF FICTION AND REALITY
The Popular Novelist—“Now I’m going to write a great novel on American farm life and I think I’ll go out and find the real type—the kind with chin whiskers who says: ‘B’ gosh, I’ll jest swan to Guiney.’”
“Say, Bub, I’m looking for a typical farmer like this. Do you know of any farmers around here?”
“My Pa’s a farmer, but he’s gone over to town to get a new tire for his auto. You might ask Ma, over there. She’s reading about the yacht races.”
