Ron Dougan writes his kids during World War II
"Dear kids,
Uncle Bert had fun back in the thirties
wanting to be our vice president
in charge of not growing pigs. It isn't so
funny now. I've been getting repeated
letters from the Ag Department relative to
our not growing wheat program. We could
have in about $3,000 this year. Bob George
(farm manager) and I decided we were
either farmers or we weren't so we've
decided to farm. I note that Blaney's
(a competitor) took in $8000.
On the other hand I'm not so stiff backed
that I won't accept help if it comes easily."
