Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "What a Farmer Really Looks Like". Cartoon and Comment by C. H. Sykes of the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger.


"In our humble opinion the shrewd, good-humored, horny-handed son of toil, usually just past middle age but lean and husky and dressed in clothing fitted for outdoor endeavor, is truly emblematic of a class which ranges from him who views from his high-powered gas wagon his cattle upon a thousand hills to the humblest worker in the vineyard or, in these days, the dandelion patch. Why, what is Uncle Sam but the farmer personified? This caricature is doubtless often overdrawn, but the farmer is certainly one of the most beloved figures in the cartoonist's museum, and the "josh" that we hand him is rarely other than that which we reserve for our best and most favored friends.
