#1. I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words, but of deeds-achievemnets won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.
#2. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be enganged in other agriculture pursuits, is plesant as well as changelling; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.
#3. 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 agriculturists to serve our own and the public interests in producing and marketing the product of our toil.
#4. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in barganing; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so-for others as well as myself; in less need of charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whoose happiness depends upon me.
#5. I believe that Amercian agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influeneve in my home and my community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
