Memories Of The Great Depression

Considering the economic situation we are now in I can't help but remember the last depression. I was still a small boy, however I knew that times were pretty tough. I was born in the late 1930's and the depression was beginning to give way to a more prosperous time, however for a young kid in rural Mississippi, times were anything but easy. I can remember for Christmas I would only get an apple, an orange, some raisins, some nuts, some raisins with stems and seeds and a small toy or two for which I couldn't have been more proud.

I also remember carrying a gallon of milk and some eggs on the school bus to school to pay for lunch for the week. Lunch back then only cost 25 cents a day, however 25 cents was really hard to come by. We lived about three miles outside of the little town where I attended twelve years of school. There were 13 kids in my graduating class and clearly now I can see how illiterate I was even after graduating from high-school.

As I mentioned earlier, we lived approximately three miles from the little town where I attended school. My parents had managed to purchase a small 62-acre farm in the early 1940's. We raised approximately two acres of cotton and two acres of corn each year which we cultivated with a manual plow and mule. In the spring with hoes we weeded and chopped and thinned the cotton and corn. In the fall we picked the cotton by hand and pulled the corn throwing the corn into piles which we later came back with a wagon pulled by two mules. We threw the corn into the wagon and then hauled the corn to the barn.

My father always raised a huge garden from which my mother picked vegetables in the summer canning them for the winter. We also raised cows, pigs, and chickens which we ate between infrequent trips to the grocery store. We churned milk for butter and only had corn bread and biscuits. Loaf bread was something for which we had no money.

During the summer we picked black berries and plums out of which my mother made jams and jellies if we could get the sugar.

It was the good ole days to which I had rather not return.
