The author is unknown, but apparently he knew his subject well. Farmers are found in fields plowing up, seed ing down, returning from, planting to, fertilizing with, spraying for and harvesting it. Wives help them, little boys follow them, the Agriculture Department confuses them, city relatives visit them, salesmen detain them, meals wait for them, weather can delay them but it takes Heaven to stop them. When your car stalls along the way, a farmer is a considerate, courteous, inexpensive road serv ice. When a farmer’s wife suggests he buy a new suit, he can quote from memory every expense involved in operating the farm last year, plus the added expense he is certain will crop up this year. Or else he assumes the role of the indig nant shopper, impressing upon everyone within earshot the pounds of pork he must produce in order to pay for a suit at today’s prices. A farmer is a paradox — he is an “overalled” executive with his home his office; a scientist us ing fertilizer attachments; a purchasing agent in an old straw hat; a personnel director with grease under his finger nails; a dietician with a passion for alfalfa, animals and antibiotics; a pro duction expert faced with a surplus; and a man ager battling a price-cost squeeze. He manages more capital than most of the businessmen in town. Noon auctions, his neighbors, Saturday nights in town, his shirt collar unbuttoned, and above all a good soaking rain in August. He is not much for droughts, ditches, through- ways, experts, weeds, the eight-hour day, helping with the housework, or grasshoppers. Nobody else is so far from the telephone or so close to God. Nobody else gets so much satis faction out of modern plumbing, favorable weath er and good ice cream. Nobody else can remove all those things from his pockets and on washday still have over looked: five ‘‘steeples,” one cotter key, a rusty spike, three grains of corn, the stub end of a lead pencil, a square tape, a $4 98 pocket watch, and a cupful of cnaff in each trouser cuff. A farmer is both Faith and Fatalist — he must have faith to continually meet the chal lenges of his capacities amid an ever-present pos sibility than an act of God (a late spring, an early frost, tornado, flood, drought) can bring his busi ness to a standstill. You can reduce his acreage but you can’t restrain his ambition. Might as well put up with him — he is your friend, your competitor, your customer, your source of food and fiber, and self-reliant young citizens to help replenish your cities He is your countryman — a denim-dressed, business-wise, fast-growing statesman of stature. And when he comes in at noon having spent the energy of his hopes and dreams, he can be re charged anew with the magic words: “The Market s Up.” Weiser American Roberts In Alaska On Air Force Duty Staff Sgt. Royce Roberts left recently to spend one year on an isolated tour to Shemya, Alaska. He is with the Se curity Service of the Air Force. Roberts, his wife, Gloria, and children, Melanie and Rickie, have spent the past 50 days in Nyssa where they visited at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Jenkins.
