A CHAT WITH BOYS AND GIRLS 



Alice G. McCloskey 



It is good for every one to think of country places and to hear about them. 

 It is better still to live in them; for when we are near to open fields or 



The house in the country 



dim forests where there are bird songs or music-filled brooks or the 



sound of singing winds, the world always seems more wonderful. 



Not many miles from the College of Agriculture there is a farm that 



seems to me the best place in the world for boys and girls. It is a fruit 



farm and you should see the apple harvest — more kinds of apples than 



you could learn the names of in a long time; there are peaches, too, and 



juicy, luscious pears, and indeed many kinds of fruit that I cannot take 



the time to mention.
