Says Independence On Farm Priceless Indiana Girl One Os Four Honored CHICAGO (UP) Fw youthful farmers, winners of 4-H Club leadership awards, today said “the ability to be your own boss” was the quality of farming they found most appealing) "A farmer’s independence is priceless,” Everett L. Martin Jr., 20, Cheshire, Mass., said. “That’s why I’m against this parity stuff. Maybe price supports are needed for a few crops, but once they start you can’t stop them.” Martin, oldest of the four, two of whom are co-eds, just completed a two-year University of Massachusetts agriculture course and now wants to be a dairy farmer. Farm Children Keep Busy The others, chosen for their “sound leadership in a democratic society,” are Earl Davis, 19, Goldsboro, N.C.; Barbara Sharkey, 19, Kremlin, 0k1a..; and Linda Schermerhorn, 19, Wawaka, Ind. The four, two of whom later will receive silver trophies and meet with President Eisenhower, were named as a preliminary to the 35th National 4-H Club Congress, which begins here Sunday. “I think a farm is the finest place in the world to raise children,” Linda said. “They always have something to occupy their time and there is no better place to learn a sense of responsibility.” Linda, a Purdue University sophomore, hopes to teach home economics One day. Barbara, an Oklahoma A & M freshman who wants to conduct a home economics show on television, felt living on a farm was a definite deterrent to juvenile delinquency. Raises Family’s Income “You never hear of a farm boy or girl having nothing to do,” Barbara said. “It’s the city kids who always have too much time on their hands and don't know what to do with it.” Davis, a North Carolina State College sophomore who plans to enter state - sponsored extension work upon graduation, told how his 4-H project raised a family of seven from a $35 weekly income to ownership of a small farm house and some land in six years. “My brother and I began working with a few animals in 1950,” Davis said. “Eventually our work became so successful that my dad decided to try it on a larger scale. It’s now become the source of pur family’s income.” Trade in a Oood Town — Decaiar
