here in Cumberland county. Fact is, we 

 raise some mighty nice folks down here

 comes to describing things. He told no 

 stories when he said that Ernest Sedge- 

 wick is the "salt of the earth." Erne.st 

 is Cumberland county's Farm Bureau 

 president. He's the proprietor of 289 

 acres of good Cumberland county land, 

 which is quite a farm: the husband of 

 -Mrs. Mildred .'^edgewick. which makes 

 him lucky as blazes: the father of 3 chil- 

 dren who keep him busy keeping up with 

 their growth. And wonder of all, Ernest 

 is the owner of 8 lively cats. 



When yiiu ilrivi- up li. the .<c<li;fwick 

 place, you run smack into a fine, com- 

 fortable house, an excellent set of build- 

 ings that are well kept up. Then you 

 meet Ernist himself, lie'- an enthusias- 

 tic man. in a ipiiet. way. He wouliln't 

 let on I'or the woiid that he's proud ot 

 what he has. iiut firs! thing you know, 

 you're following him I'lom one part of 

 the farm to another while he tells you 

 all about it. He's interesting. He knows 

 his business and he's successful at it.
