 The rest of the alfalfa crop must be put into the barn this afternoon. After much discussion, Mom and Dad decided that Ori and Cecil would ride the new horse, Rocky, to the Climax General store and buy vinegar. Storing up the winter supply of food for the family was almost as important as storing up the hay for the livestock. They set the plan in motion. Dad and Art went back to the hay field. Mom went to war with the wash rag on the bare feet and ankles of her two little gardeners.
