Miscellaneous Notes
Lonnie:
"I had horses when I was down where Mrs. Gleason was. I had a nice team there - a pair of blacks - weighed about thirty hundred. They was a nice team. I'd always rather have a good pair of horses - easy to work. Take a good pair of horses and, why, there was nothing to it. Oh, you had to keep moving all the time, you know, but that team I had, they'd plow two acres a day and that's a big day's work for a pair of horses. You know, you could do a better job with a good pair of horses than you can with machinery. Now, you take machinery and the more you work it, the harder it gets. You see, your tractors are so heavy they just keep packing it down. Where you take a good pair of horses and it's loose when you get through plowing and you go over it. I always harrowed a piece three times. I'd harrow it the first time the same way I plowed it - then I'd cross it - and then I'd turn over and cross it the other way. Why it'd always be in good shape and you'd get a good crop."
