Show Advertiiemtnt , ft A From where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh Pampered Farmers If the folks in our town were less tolerant, they'd be really burned up over that nationally circulated cir-culated article on "pampered farmers," farm-ers," describing; them as living off the fat of the land. From where I sit the farmer is anything but "pampered." If he's better off today than twenty years ago it's because he's worked hard to improve the quality and quantity quan-tity of his production. Take Bert Childers, for example. Bert is up at four in the morning, to get the milking finished and Copyright, I ploughing or harvesting, depending on the season, until sundown. In the evening he finally relaxes with the missus over a moderate glass of beer And the farmer today's not only temperate in his habits, like Bert's evening glass of beer . . . but tolerant toler-ant in his opinions. So he'll probably prob-ably say of that article, "somebody got the facts wrong," and just let it go at that. 19-18, United States Brewers Foundatiof |
