...last month Ingram stopped at the farm of Aubrey Boswell, a white neighbor. He wanted to borrow a trailer to haul his hay. Ingram saw one of the Boswell children walking toward the tobacco barn carrying a hoe. He walked across the road, he said, and through a field knee-high in corn, looking for Boswell. When he got closer and saw only "three boys," he turned back. He went on down the road and borrowed a trailer from someone else. Later that afternoon, two deputy sheriffs arrested him.

The hay rake, says Dr. Mack, is always successful within a few months, and most young patients bear no grudge against the man who installs...
...rich Missouri acres near Kansas City, was breaking in 15 new hands this week. They did not know much about farming; they were all Episcopal divinity students. "They're as green as can be," said he. "They don't know a manure fork from a hay fork . . . That doesn't do the farm profits any good." But Farmer Cochel is not primarily interested in the profits. His most important crop these days is well-rounded clergymen...
