Farming Life in 1933
(A letter from Clement Benton [CB] to C. Fred George)
Centerville Ind Feb 17 - 33(Weller was Bent's and Fred's oldest brother. Julian was CB's son, who was nearly 37 at the time of this letter. CB was 72, Weller had been 87 just over a month, and CF had turned 62 earlier in the month. The "girls" mentioned were the 5 daughters of CF: Marguerite (Myers), Miriam (VanMason), Lois (McDonald), Alice (Brown, Davis, Ollendorf), and Frances (Ertel), who was 27.)Dear Bro. i will send a few lines as Julian has so much on hand. he was over + closed up business with Weller. he found him as well as he ever was - + in good spirits. gave Julian 5 00 for trouble + found where the other coupons were. they had all been attached to one certificate instead of 2. the St-R-W Bonds are paying as he got 50$+ from them.
I am unable to get out today am afraid my leg is going to get so i cant help with work + don't see what we will do as Julian is milking 5 cows now + more on the way. our hogs are ready to go anytime now + we missed 3 deals for stock hogs one for 33-35 to 40 lb (shotes?) at 200 each, one for 42-75# + (?) at 4½ c per lb. and 25 head at 4c on cow at 65. am going to try + sell 2 or 3 cows. we still have 200 Bu corn out.
the Bank here has been Robbed twice recently by 2 young men last time + one was in both Robbers. this country is surely Topsy Turvey. Guess Will Rogers about right when he said Mussolini of Italy could run this country better than it was being run with both eyes shut. our legislature is passing some radical measures. most of them good + doing away with lots of overhead expenses. Jessup from Richmond has advocated some bills that would change entire government of counties + Townships and cut costs in two.
Well we are raising 3 holstein Bull Calves. So if you see any one hunting for one send him out our prize cow gives about 7 gal day with no extra care or feed
was sorry Herbert + Marguerite had to give up home but i know a case worse. parties had to turn a 100 A farm at 10.00 per acre to satisfy a bank loan. the land ought to be cheap at 20.$ per acre. i hope the famers will rebel + refuse to pay taxes
Yours C B George
you send on to girls if you will
