Pennsyltuckian longs for those old burley fields back home Pining for his old little bit of heaven: Barnett's Creek. Recalls wonderful neighbors of both kinds: Amishmen and Wesleymen. And remembers assisting fellow Waggener-Walker Newspaper sally-forth editor in his father-in-law's tobacco patch in Glens Fork. Epistle which follows inspired by: Photo 67914 Tobacco showing effects of record rainfall By Jackson Brower This field of burley looks mighty pretty to this estranged Pennsyltuckian. Although I didn't personally grow the stuff, I had a small tobacco allotment operated mostly by Amishman Ervin Schlabach, who happened to be born on the exact same day as me, December 11, 1948. I have fond memories of hauling Ervin and his tobacco crop to market in Somerset. I also let fellow Barnett Creek resident Stanley Rich hang his crop in our barn. Both Stanley and Ervin were fine neighbors to have out in the suburbs of greater Pellyton. I don't I know many times Stanley pulled our VW bus out of the creek, but he was always very nice about it and wouldn't accept even a nickel. I only worked in a tobacco field once helping Neal Gold harvest his father-in-law's crop out in Glensfork. Although we had fun, I remember that it was some of the stickiest, most grueling work I have ever undertaken. Hope all the Adair County farmers have good crops this year, and all indications are that they will. We are having a great growing summer up here in Pennsylvania as well. - Jackson Brower This story was posted on 2016-08-05 05:48:48
