There is a town dance and the farmers association is trying to start a riot. three men get found and kicked out. Rose of Sharon dosent dance because a woman told her that sinners babies are born dead and bloody. She is very worried about her baby. There is a story told that i dont want to tell but it kinda has revelance to this story. but ya. Many smaller farms are being ruined by the large farms. this puts alot of people out of jobs and makes it even harder for the farmers. The feelings of anger and resentment fill the people in the land.
