The Farmers Creed.
The following was written by Frank
Mann and is called the farmers creed:
believe in permanent agricul-
ture, soil that shall grow richer
rather than poorer from year to year.
believe in hundred bushel corn
and in fifty bushel wheat, and l shall
not be satisfied with anything less.
| believe that the only good weed
is a dead weed, and that a clean farm
is as important as a clean conscience.
believe in the farm boy and in
the farm girl, the farmers best crops
and the futures best hope
| believe in the farm woman and
will do all in my power to make her
life easier and happier.
/ believe in a country school that
prepares for a country life, and
country church that teaches its people
to love deeply and live honorably.
believe in community spirit,
pride in home and neighbors, and l
viii do my best to make my own com
munity the best in the state.
believe in better roads. 1 will use
the road drag conscientiOusly when
ever opportunity offers and 1 will not
soldier when working out my road
tax.
| believe in the farmer, ] believe
in farm life, / believe in the inspira-
ton of the open country.
