Quoted by President ROOSEVELT
a*Commission on Country Life" ;
farmers wife in Ogden, Iowa, ha!
sent this letter to the Des Moines
Dapital:-
ain September, 1892, sixteen years
Bgo, my husband, then young
nlinois man twenty six years of age
started northwest to seek home. In
Central Iowa he secured an eighty
acre farm with three-room cottage
and small stable, paying down $1,000,
money he had saved from his wages
ss farm hand. and giving a mortgage
on the land for $1,000 for five years
st eight per cent.
'tIn the spring of 1893 we were mar
xied and came to Iowa to live on this
farm. Starting in with two good
horses, plow and harrow, wagon
and corn planter, two COWS, one doz-
an chickens, we went to work with a
determination to win. The first year
we did some tiling, built a cellar,
Plastered and painted our cottage,
bought some machinery, paid our in
serest, and had 800 to pay as prin-
sipa1. In the fall of 1896 we purchas-
sd another forty acres joining the
original eighty, paying 1920 an acre,
or 81 200.
"At the close of each year we al
ways pay all of our debts, our taxes
and interest, and always have snug
sum to pay as principal making it a
point to pay the cash for everything
we buy, so far as possible. -. Have
never run store bill to exceed ten
dollars. 1t is 80 much easier to pay
for an article when you get it than
sfter it is gone.
''The spring of 1898 found us free
from debt with some money on hand,
SO we bought another 120-acre farm,
paying $45 an acre, which we have
paid for by working hard and keep
ing everlastingly at it. This farm we
Aave always rented out at $3 and 1926

"In 1901 we purchased another
forty, paying $40 an acre, which we
have paid for by close farming, rais-
ing horses, cattle, and hogs to sell,
milking from Eve to eight cows, rails
mig about 200 chickens each year. We
have never kept hired man, prefer
ring to do the work alone. In busy
seasons I often help do light work in

with riding plow, and picking corn,- -
