THOSE WERE THE DAYS, Memories of a Manitoba Farm Boy from the 1930's, by R. Keith Smith, is about recalling things that have happened during my lifetime and the many changes that have taken place since the early 1930s.
"I am talking about farming and the way rural life on the prairies has changed so much over the last 100 years. I have lived through many of these changes. Few are still alive who remember harvesting back then, the cutting, pilule stooking and threshing of Manitoba grain crops before 1950. These memoirs describe that era. It has, perhaps unfortunately, turned into an autobiography of sorts. But as well as chronicling my own life, I really did want to tell something about the early days on the farm." -R. Keith Smith
