The governor's brief wire to lus

APPRECIATION OF THE

RECEIVED AT FARM LIFE
SCHOOL LAST YEAR
During I1)20 1 lost my father and
as 1 was the elilest of eight children
i tell it was mj duty to remain at
nome and heip my mother look after
the farm, and therefore did not at
tend .school any that session. The
next session 1 remained away from
school, fixing pasture fences and oth
er things until the school year was
almost gone, therefore, 1 did not at-,
tend that year and had given up all
thought* of any more school and had
>ost interest'in school.
Last fall 1 was in the field picking
cotton when a stranger came by, in
troduced himself, and began helping
me pick cotton and to discuss educa
tion with me. Before he left 1 had
caught a vision of what an education
would mcah to me and especially the
vocational agriculture. 1 therefore
promised this man, our principal and
vocational agricultural teacher that 1
would attend school.
I attended as much as possible and ~
it created in me a new ambition and
a stronger dctermination to have an
education.
Before 1 studied vocational agri
culture 1 felt that experience on the
farm was the only way to learn ag
riculture, but now 1 see it is much
better to mix the theory with the
practice. 1 have gotten hundreds of
new ideas from the study of agri
culture.
The study of agriculture has created
in me a greater-love for nature aiid . S
has made me a closer observer.
