February 28, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the February 28, 1978, Adair County News. It's a winter article about a summer topic--tomatoes. Dad always loved the idea of citizen-industry and work-as-exercise, and devoted many paragraphs to the benefits of both. There's also an argument for another of his favorite causes--more and better sidewalks--at the end. --Pen

What a switch: Coming here to pick tomatoes!
When we were growing up, one of the jobs we knew we could get was to go to Indiana and pick tomatoes. If the grand experiment of County Agent Wayne Livesay, Tri-County Pepper Receiving Station Manager A.L. Sinclair, and Cumberland Farm Co-op Manager Larry Snell is successful, people can be picking tomatoes right in Adair County.

A tomato meeting is scheduled tonight (Tuesday) in the County Agent's Office at 7:00 p.m. Dr. C.R. Roberts of UK will also be on hand.

Livesay and Sinclair say that Adair County growers could realize as much as $2,000 per acre for the three month crop.

Think small is key
Both Sinclair and Livesay advise Adair Countians to think small in the tomato business. They say that people who raise a quarter acre to no more than one acre have the best chance of success.

Dr. Lafayette Page of Adair County

A son of The Shire goes forth and does quite well. Upon his passing, the Adair County News said of Dr. Page that "No son of Adair county has ever led a more useful life or made a more illustrious name for themselves in their chosen profession."

From there, he practiced in Indianapolis for a few years before going abroad the Munich, Germany, to study for the specialty in which he was interested, the ear, nose and throat.

While in Germany, he met and fell in love with Miss Marion Heinly, a musically inclined young woman from Illinois. Lafayette and Marion were married in Geneva, Switzerland in the mid 1890s.
