William Jennings Bryan gives eight
good reasons why young men should
choose farming in preference to the
other occupations and professions.
Here they are: "(D Farming is the
most independent way of living; ~ less
capital is required to start farming
than to enter any other independent
business; (3) all members of the family
can participate in some way in the
work of the farm; (4) farm life is
healthiul; ~ farming develops useful
habits of industry and application; (6)

that labor is honorable and worthy OF
reward; (S) the farmer is the most in.
dependent factor in our political life. -
