This little agricultural paper is for 

 you, the boys and girls of Califor- 

 nia. It is going to help you to un- 

 tand what farming is, and how 

 much the work of the farmer means 

 to you and to the world. The schools, 

 <1 the state are getting 

 behind the farmer and his work and 

 we are going to ask you to do a lit- 

 tle for your parents, for your school, 

 and for your neighbor. 

 Right now is the time to begin, for 

 the more you do now, the more you 

 will want to do later and the more 

 good ycu do later, the more hap- 

 py you will be. 



Some day you will read about lit- 

 Chad" in the "Little Shepherd 

 of Kingdom Come" who aft< r th<* 

 loss of all that was dear to him but 

 his faithful dog said to Jack, "I 

 haint nothin but a boy but I got to 

 act like a man now." 



So this little paper has a twofold 

 purpose ( 1 ) to ask you to join our 

 body of young California 

 by reading this little pap< r and by 

 following its BUgg< I n^P
