He farms 115 acres, raises 11 Guernsey cows, and fattens 60 purebred Spotted Poland China hogs yearly while teaching country school five days weekly. His wife handles field work in spring, and their son Frank helps. He recalls earlier struggles, started farming with a uncle, failed, sold, then moved to the present 155 acre farm in 1921, now plans to own the land. He uses green manures, grows soybeans, and expects income from cream checks and hogs to meet debt payments.
