“1 Then the Frost Is On the Pumpkin and the Corn Is In the Shock” 
the nutting prties so dear to some of us. 
We would not miss them, would we? 
Yes, October days are here, and we are 
glad. 
The New Plan 
How do you like the idea of having a 
page in The Rural New-Yorker once a 
month just for boys and girls? You have 
seen this paper in your home week after 
week. Perhaps some of you older ones 
have picked it up and read a bit, finding 
something interesting or helpful. Put 
now you are to have a place of your own 
in it. Here we will bring together the 
things that interest boys and girls espe- 
cially-r-what you are doing or may do, 
what you are thinking about the things 
that go on around you. what you may dis- 
i-... ;• c.vi-t . o.l cars in 
boys and girls. If you live in New York 
State we are probably already friends. If 
in some other State, we shall soon be 
friends, I hope. I am a real person, full 
of life and energy as you are, living and 
working on a farm, in tune with wind 
and weather, interested in boys and girls, 
young and old, anxious to be friends with 
you. I have been asked to take charge of 
this page of ours. I want it to be a page 
that we shall grow to look forward to 
each month. I know it will be if we all 
help to make it so. Address your letters 
to me at the office of The Rural New- 
Yorker, 333 West 30th Street, New 
York City, and they will be sent to me 
here on my Long Island farm. Now let’s 
nil believ# in our page, and work for it! 
C u”. . till m month !

Memory Verse 
A mystery passing strange 
Is the seed in its wondrous change; 
Forest and flower in its husk concealed, 
And the golden wealth of the harvest field. 
—LUCY LARCOM. 
Greeting 
October days are here! They are the 
days of harvest. Now we gather in the 
crops that were sowu so carefully in the 
the great out of doors. You will be sur¬ 
prised to find how much there is to talk 
about together, and you will help, too, I 
hope, because this is your page. If you 
have done something that you feel others 
would like to do, tell about it. If you 
have a question that is bothering you, ask 
about it! If you think of something for 
this page, send it in! I cannot promise 
to use everything that comes, for that 
would take many pages. But if none of

Spring, and that have grown through the 
long Summer. Have you ever stopped to 
think how wonderful it is that the fields 
which six months ago lay brown and bare, 
now yield so much for our good? Where 
has it come from? Seed, mellow earth, 
warm sunshine, gentle rain, faithful care 
—all these have helped to make- the har¬ 
vest. Something new has come—some¬ 
thing that was not there before. 
Boys and girls love the harvest time. 
It is a time of good fun as well as of 
thanksgiving for the crops. A field of 
corn in shock with pumpkins on the 
ground is a fine place to play. The shocks 
of corn are such good hiding places or 
make-believe houses, and pumpkins have 
a way of making the funniest faces—espe¬ 
cially on Hallowe'en. Thou there are It seems 
you wrote for fear your idea would not 
be used, I would have nothing to help. 
So do not hold back. Write, and be glad 
to write. Just your letters will help me 
to know whether you like the page or not 
and how to make it better. 
This first time for our page is like sow¬ 
ing the seed in the brown field of the early 
Spring. It may seem a small beginning; 
but if the seed-idea is good, and if the 
ground of your minds and hearts is mel¬ 
low, and if you let your love and interest 
help like the sunshine and the rain, and if 
we all work together, then our page will 
grow and grow, and the harvest will be 
sure—a harvest of happiness.
