FARMERS AND BREEDERS, DE KALB COUNTY
THE PRAIRIE FARMER'S CREED
I believe in red clover, I believe in cow peas, I believe in soy beans, and above all. I believe in alfalfa, the queen of forage plants.
I believe in a permanent agriculture, a soil that shall grow richer rather than poorer from year to year.
I believe in hundred bushel corn and in fifty bushel wheat, and I shall not be satisfied with anything less.
I believe that the only good weed is a dead weed, and that a clean farm is as important as a clean conscience.
I believe in the farm boy and in the farm girl, the farmer's best crops and the future's best hope.
I believe. in the farm woman, and will do all in my power to make her life easier and happier.
I believe in a country school that prepares for country life, and a country church that teaches its people to love deeply and live honorably.
I believe in community spirit, a pride in home and neighbors, and I will do my part to make my own community the best in the state.
I believe in better roads. I will use the road drag conscientiously whenever opportunity offers, and I will not "soldier" when working out my road tax.
I believe in happiness, I believe in the power of a smile, and 1 will use mine on every possible occasion.
I believe in the farmer, I believe in farm life, I believe in the inspiration of the open country.
I am proud to be a farmer, and I will try carnestly to be worthy of the name.
