Letter From Panama Received At County Extension Office

The following letter was received by area extension agent Donald E. Frantz and has been forwarded to this newspaper for publication. The letter is from IFYE Jon Robots of r 3 Syracuse. Roberts is currently in Panama. His report follows: Buenos dias Amigos, de Panama, Bring more sacks boy! Hey, we could stand some water over here! These were some of the Spanish words that I could understand as 80 men and boys worked in a rice field. They were harvesting the rice for an older man who had recently lost his 18year old son in a tractor accident. The work was done all by hand; The field was small and isolated, so that the use of a combine was not economical. First, the rice stalk was cut down using a machete.

A few minutes later the "hombre” asked for his machete back. He could see that a “gringo" farmer, like myself, was not accustomed to this type of work. The group, from five or six communities, started the harvest at 9 a.m. They worked steadily until 3 p.m., when everything was completed. At that time, the womenfolk of the community, where the harvest took place, provided a meal for the hungry workers. (I did little work and was starved by this time!) Three short speeches followed die meal thanking the men for their help. First was the father, next the president of the agricultural club in the community, and finally was the Extension Agent who organized the day. It was a happy occasion for all involved. The father had his rice harvested (he could never have
