Excerpt from The Macdonald College Journal, Vol. 3: September 1942 The Journal received a cordial welcome at the fine farm of Walter Barr near Hemmingford last month during a two-hour afternoon visit. We found Mr. Barr and his son Beattie (whose picture appears On the cover of this issue) getting in the last few loads of hay and feeling pleased to have the loft well filled again. We strolled across the fields of grain in stook, towards the well-laden orchard, went carefully around the bee hives, up the hill to inspect the ten acres of corn - tall enough to get lost in, looked at the 21 pigs fattening for market and the row of fine calves in the barn - and were ready to take our hats off again to the farmer and his son who take care of all this and milk their 16 cows night and morning. But we said nothing because we knew they were typical of many other farmers and many other sons who in a time of shortage of labour and equipment are carrying on, with a minimum of complaint.
