• • • ■==.-r-L:.-. ■ Agriculture THE Ft'Tl’RE FARMER CREED I believe in the future of fanning, with a faith born not of words but of deeds— achievements won by the present and past generations of farmers; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former days. I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement. I can not deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the product of our toil. I believe we can safeguaid those rights against practices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of ii when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depent on me. I believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our nationaJ life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
