By TOMMY PILLOW
Treasurer, FFA
I believe in‘the future of farming, with a faith born no¢
of words but of deeds—achievements won by the present
and past generations of farmers; in the promise of better
days through better ways, even as the better things we now
enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleas
ant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discom
forts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those as
sociations which, even in hours of discouragement, I can
not 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 organized farmers to serve our own
and the public interest in marketing the product of our
toil. I believe we can safeguard those rights against prac
tices and policies that are unfair.
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 rural America can and will hold true to
the best traditions in our national life and that I can ex
ert an influence in my home and community which will
stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
11. Develop a program for
future meetings.
