read all the good letters from every Sec
ton of the country, and to learn of
many dear girls and boys. l have thought
many times of how grand it would be if
coast, could meet at place and have
picnic together. Wouldn't it be great
and grand picnic? Aunt Julia is dear
lacy to make possible for the young readers
means Of correspondence among them
selves, and | am each one feels in
debted to her for it.
L am farmer boy and prefer farm life
to any other. 1t is my ambition to be one
of the best of farmers.
| think gthe life work OF the farmer is
one of the most important ond it should
be an honor for one to be classed with
him, because he is the provider of all man
kind. Upon him every human being con-
stantly depends. The world itself is built
upon his toll, his products, his honesty,
Because of his industry, America our
country, leads the world. Her prosperity
is maintained by him; her great commerce
is the work of his good hands; her bal
ance of trade" springs from the furrow of
his farm
The reaper brings food for today; the
pillow holds promise for tomorrow
In war the farmer is absolute; in peace
he is Misrepresentation country's surest
defense and constant reliance.
He lives with nature, walks in the green
fields under the golden sunlight, out in
the great alone, where brain, Drawn and
toll supply maukind's primary needs Even
MN with a symphony Al the new days
dawn and cheer him till the evening prayer
is said.
If it were not for the farmer the treas
ures of the earth would remain securely
locked; the granaries would be useless
frames; man himself would be doomed
speedily to extinction and decay. 1hrOu-n
him is produced the energy that maintains
the spark of life.
Well, Cousins. [ have taken much more
room already than l meant to, so [ will
Mississippi lad between the ages of 10 and

direction. l want to hear from everybody,
everywhere.
