Rom where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh,
Pampered Farmers
If the folks in our town were
leu tolerant, they'd be really
burned up over that nationally cir
culated article on "pampered farm
era," describing them as living off
the fat of the land.
From where I ait the farmer ii
anything but "pampered." If he'a
better off today than twenty years
ago it's because he's worked hard
to improve the quality and quan
tity of hi production.
Take Bert Childers, for example.
Bert la up at four in the morning,
to get the milking finished and
ploughing or harvesting, depending
on the season, until sundown. In
the evening he finally relax with
the misaua over a moderate glaa
of beer.
And the farmer today's not only
temperate in his habits, like Bert's
evening glass of beer . . . but ttltr
ant in his opinions. So hell prob
ably say of that article, "somebody
got the facts wrong," and just
let it go at that
