An illustrated article on small farming by P. Frank Goodwin
of Apex, Route 3, as told to Frank H. Jeter, agricultural editor of State
College, appears in the October issue of The
Farm Journal, a national monthly magazine having over 2,700,000 readers.
The article, entitled “They Can’t Run Me Off,” is described
on the cover of The Farm Journal as “a note of confidence from a family farm.”
It tells how Goodwin bought a farm of 102 acres and has developed it into a
paying business, free from debt.
Goodwin, the article says, studied civil engineering at
State College for three years, married Leonie Yates, and borrowed money to buy
the farm, which Goodwin said was “badly abused.”
The farm now includes a modern home, a farm pond and
swimming pool, a balanced crop and livestock program, fertile pastures,
registered cattle, and abundant gardens and farm crops.The Farm Journal says, in its headline, that the article is Goodwin’s “answer to the treat of ‘corporate farming’.”
Six pictures of scenes on Goodwin’s farm are used as
illustrations.
