Stuver of Nephi placed 1st in Class IV Adult Division. With her permission the following is a copy of her essay: the kittens mouths and sometimes in the childrens mouths if they werent on their toes. When my grandma and grandpa moved to Provo, Grandpa maintained a huge garden and fruit trees in the back of their house. I remember the zinnias and marigolds frolicking against the house. In 1948, the brothers sold the ranch and moved to wherever, in WHAT IS A FARMER? By Barbara M. Stuver cars were Before invented, my father hitched the horses to a wagon loaded with milk in glass bottles, the kind with the little cardboard cap in the top, and drove up Main and Park Avenue delivering heavy milk bottles up those steep steps to homes in Park City. My dad was a small wiry man but boy was he strong? Later he delivered milk in a motorized van. My father and his brothers ran a dairy ranch in Park City, Utah. I remember when I was about two or three years old, I was in the barn with Dad; the bam had a little tiny stream running in a gutter through the middle of it. My father took a foxtail and tickled a tiny frog in the water until it jumped scaring the life out of me! I remember watching my dad in the milking motor-drive- n never to farm again. Although I no longer lived on a farm, I still had the lucky influence of my grandparents love of the soil. Im drawn to the country. I need to be away from the frenetic city. I know there are men and women all over this earth who understand the soil. They love the smell of rain, the beauty of soft velvet green in the spring, and the golden color of maturity. Farming seems to include taking care of animals; although it is not necessarily the other way around. Farmers are among the group who witness births at calving or lambing time or whenever animals on the farm bare young. Often they play the part aiding troubled barn put the milking suction of midwife watch births. spindly legs They tubes on the cows udders.

No one has a healthier respect for the powers of nature. The farmer has learned how to work 14-ho- with these powers. These remarkable people know about bacteria, predators, fertilizer, water turns, solid boots, bank loans, and drought. There are probably no atheists among these people. Prayers for water have been uttered far too often and far too long for denying prayers which have been answered.

But more importantly, chil- dren gain a love for farming. They cultivate an interest in growing productively, or they acquire a knack for animals; and as they mature and take on more responsibilities, they may go to a university to learn to farm even better. Wise and patient is the father who gleans from the freshman son. Not only do responsibilities lie at home, but there are responsibilities that take this working man or woman to government offices.

My thanks go to the farmers and their families for sustaining my country for feeding millions. Even when freak ice storms cover the oranges and mud slides destroy orchards and hailstorms mangle the apples, our country has not suffered starvation. I am astounded at the number of restaurants, cafes, and greasy spoons all supplied by our farmers. Again, as we look at these remarkable people, we realize that growing food, andor raising animals involves much, much more than irrigating. A farmer wears many hats: doctor, clinician, accountant, mechanic, technician, repairman, biologist, agronomist, cowboy, bullrider, and sometimes poet. Tnese people are willing to take the responsibility involved in farming. In fact, farmers nowadays farm because they love it. They love the challenges, the surprises, the successes and the mysteries. And they love the earth the earth that not always graciously renders a harvest. Things have definitely changed since my dad and grand- fast-pace- d Indoor Plants During The Summer?
