I believe that to live and work on a good farm or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging for I know the joys and discomforts of agriculture life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which even in hours of discouragement I cannot 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 progressive agriculturlists to serve our own and the public's interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.
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 it when needed. In being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.
I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will serve me as I progress through school and beyond.
