An illustrated children's book teaching young people about soil conservation and responsible farming published by members of the Resource-Use Education Workshop at Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Now Auburn University). Sam and Sue discover the wonders of weather, gardening, and conservation of plants, soil, and animals over the course of the story, as well as the dangers of "careless farming". It ends with a message from their father: "Everyone should be a Wise Farmer. Wise Farmers have better homes. Wise Farmers can help the churches. Wise farmers can help the school. Wise Farmers can help the neighbors" (p. 28). Folio (10.75" by 8.5"), pp. 28, with photo illustrations and drawn illustrations, stapled in original illustrated wrappers. No copies in OCLC (July 2022). Alabama Polytechnic Institute was established in 1856 as East Alabama Male College, and was renamed Alabama Polytechnic Institute in 1899.
