Mr.. Campbell Calls
Meeting Potato Growers

Dear Sir:
Realizing that the results of last
years irish potato crop was not en-
tirely satisfactory to any of US |
am taking this opportunity to ad-
wise that we are determined to
make a success Of this undertaking.
We have made an arrangement
with the State College of Agrlcul-
ture for Mr.. J. W.. Firor, Horti-
cultural Expert of the College, to
visit YOU at least once month.
and oftener if possible, in order
that you may have the benefit OF
his knowledge and experience in
planting this years crop.
The date of Mr.. Firor's first
visit to Fitzgerald will be Friday,
February 5th.
In addition to the expert assis-
lance of Mr.. Firor, you will also
have the assistance of Mr.. N. E.
Marshburn, a Marketing Expert
of wide experience to aid you in
finding a profitable market for
your crop.
With the assistance of these two
experts in their line, and with the
increased demand for American
food products, brought about by
the present European War, and
the low price of cotton, it seems
to me that it would be an act OF
wisdom on your part to plant
more irish potatoes than last year,
The experience you gained last
year, will be of great value in pro
ducing a highly satisfactory crop
this year.
Please remember that the A. B.
& A. Railroad is vitality interested
in your success and that we ex
pect you to call upon US for infor.
nation and cooperation.
The meeting at Fitzgerald OF
February 9Th will be held at the
Court House, beginning at $3.50
a. M, promptly and every one in
terestS in the growing of irisE
potat cantaloupe, asparagus
dewbeffies. or any kind of garder
truck should attend.
Yours truly,

Farmers Cooperative Agent,

Western Rail-
roads To Be
Heard.

No doubt the Western Rail
roads have been greatly encour-
aged by the success of the East
ern roads in getting. an increase
in rates, and they have arranged
with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to give them hear
ing of their grievances. and the
matter will be taken up in Chic
ago next month. The petition
from the Western roads differ
from that of the Easterners in
that it does not ask for a hori.
zOntal raise, but increases based
upon traffic conditions and upon
the movement of individual
classes and commodities. This
is alleged to amount to from two
to three per cent in some cases to
as high as twenty five per cent
in other instances. The petitions
will be vigorously contested by
many of the Western states.
These railroad rate hearings
are important beyond the mere
tact that they are the basis of a
readjustment of rates, as they
demonstrate that there is pro.
per tribunal for the settlement of
such matters. Formerly it was
a case of '.jockeying" with legis-
latures and Congressman.

The Lyceurn
Course.

The Lyceum Course in most
respects has been success, yet
inspite Of this, it is interesting to
note that there has not been the
support expected from our people
nor such support MS meritcd by
the excellent entertainments off
cred. 1t is sad commentary
upon our condition. that the
lawdy vaudeville or minstrel
show or girl show receives more
support than those entertain
ments that go to bring about
culture and refinement and i'm.
provement.
The course just concluded con-
sisted of high class entertain-
ments, given by artists. Those
who attended have received the
benefits, far beyond the money
expended. Those who did not
go, have missed a great oppor-
tunlty.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper . Most Useful
Agency on tho Farm-Thc Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity Of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
OF the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles o. the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter OF the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow.
er OF the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velOp their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object Is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable.
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper. and no home
should be without it, The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
lis columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

The Public
Defender.

There is one urgent need in our
judiciary system, and that is the
public defender, whose duty shall
be to defend those accused of
crime, as it is the duty of the
county attorney to prosecute.
The presentprovision of appoint.
ing an attorney by the court to
defend parties unable to pay
them is a farce, under present
conditions. The attorney chosen
is usually young and inexperien-
ced or else careless.

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising COL
umns Of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries Of life. We need more art, SCI
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns Of
the rural press.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories OF city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle Of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
msnt and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
nciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems OF the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community
