THE FARMER
A SCOTTISH POEM * Ttie Scottish Journal of Agriculture, issued by the Department of Agriculture for Scotland, says the following poem describes the position of the British farmer quite fairly:— The farmer will never be happy again, His heart is right down in his boots; For either the rain is destroying his grain Or the drought is destroying his roots. In fact, when you meet this unfortunate man, The conclusion you’ll come to is plain; That Nature is just an elaborate plan To annoy him again and again.
