next year. You can imagine that in the small rural towns getting to

It seems that in Austria for several years, there has been a highly=20

Austrians, there is now in preparation a Swiss Farm Girl calendar. It=20
seems there are fifty young daughters and wives of Swiss farmers lined=20=

year. The Austrian 2000 version sold out in three days, and the Swiss=20

Five of these fifty symbols of pulchritude come from central CH. The=20
aim of the producers is to show that farm girls are not staid and=20

thinks it very natural since she has worked as a model already.
Another=20
contestant says that it is fine with her parents, and that her

The whole outfit is not geared to big monetary gain, but if there is a=20=
profit, those in charge say that they may be a small honorarium paid

St. Gallen in October.
You can get yours at www.bauernkalendar.ch They have already received=20=
two hundred orders at 38.50 CHF apiece.
Just in time for the summer Idyllers to pick up a souvenir.
