• • • ■==.-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.

ART DEPARTMENT Art Our aim is to develop art judgment which will enable us to evaluate art quality in the things we use in our daily lives and will increase enjoyment of beauty in all our surroundings. Since the surest way of developing appreciation is through creation, this aim has been accom- plished in part this year by designing and making a variety of crafts objects. r
