Not sure what they was spraying with but they was spraying thousands of acres of large Log Timber. It had something in it to help break down the wood and weren’t to use it for Lumber but I knew some that did cut them for Lumber.
Some went right in and Dozed it and put it in Fescue. Some would take their time put Goats in. They might burn it then put Turkeys in it.
Everyone burned their Timber before then.
Us kids would always pick rock off the fields to be planted. Back then would pick Corn by hand or just turn Cattle and Hogs in it.
Had to be careful out in the woods because Mama Sow would build a nest have babies in there all you would see is her snout sticking out. If you got too close she would put you up a tree.
We would raise Tomatoes and Cucumbers to take to Springfield. Milk Cows by hand, milk for Cheese Plant in Springfield. Buck Hay for.02 a bale.Kill Possums and Skunks for .25 apiece.
Always a way to make money. I bought Bottle Calves for $1- $5 apiece. Bought Calves for $50, Wormed and Dehorned them, put them on pasture for Summer sold them in the Fall for $150. I was working on a Farm for .75 an hour.
