Stroud Messenger: The farmer doesn't
have to solicit patronage from anyone.
He doesn't have to enter competition and
strife with any OF his neighbors like A
merchant; he doesn't have to wrangle
for a living like a lawyer; he doesn't
have to depend upon collections reiuc-
family doled out as editors do; in fact, he
can be the most independent man on
Gods green earth If he manages his af-
fairs in a business-iike manner. He has
more time and equal opportunities for
improving his mind; he has few allure
ments for corrupting his morals. and his
occupation is more conducive to the high
est development of his physical power
than any other.
