for yourself if you feel like taking the time to visit Terry 

 and Chamberlain. Although they are busy men, and their 

 time is exceedingly valuable, I think I am right in saying 

 they are ready to sacrifice almost any thing, where they can 

 be of use in making themselves really helpful to the average 

 farmer. In fact, they both have been giving their lives to 

 this work, and I suppose they expect to give them to the end. 

 I do not mean by this to say they give their time right along 

 for nothing, and without pay. If we American people allow- 

 ed them to do so we should be ashamed of ourselves. 



If this little book has been the means of giving you more 

 faith in and love for farming ; more faith in and love for 

 your fellow-men, and more faith in and love for the great 

 Creator, who gave us our land with all its grand and glorious 

 possibilities, then shall we be satisfied, and feel that our 

 labor has not been in vain. 



Your friend, A. I. BOOT.
