1949 Yearbook
Description
Pint-Sized Shadow
Many a farmer has a pint-sized shadow
that tags him all over the farm . . . shrilly
repeats his pet words . . . dresses like a tiny
twin. Like most little boys, he can't wait to
grow up. The thing he wants most in the
world is to be a farmer just like his dad.
Old-fashioned farming, with its never-
ending toil, often shattered this childhood
dream—sent the boy off to the city to seek
his fortune. Today, it's easier to keep him
on the farm. Better crops and improved
farming practices have boosted yields and
farming profits. Modern John Deere power
equipment has taken over much of the
muscle work, and chopped hours from the
old dawn-to-dusk work day.
No wonder more and more farm boys are
staying with the land—realizing a childhood
ambition to follow in their fathers' footsteps. This is a good sign. These young
farmers will hasten the fuller mechanization
of our agriculture, pioneer new farming
practices, and bolster vital food production.
Yes, labor-saving, profit-making farm
equipment is helping to raise our most valuable crop—young Americans who love the
land. In such hands, the future of our agri*
culture, and of America, will be secure.
