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

scures the substance. A searching IN
yestigation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are trinity of powerful In
tluences 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
and only await the patronage and co.
operation Of the farmers to fully de.
yelop their energy and usefulness,
They are local forces working fol
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 othel
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 panel

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
billions of humanity, or by filling it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles of busy streets, or bysenchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It 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
many times the flames of personal
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-
ment 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 it's
energies to the solution Of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
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 eff
dciency and mold the intellectual life
Of the country, placing before the pub
nc the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
lslative, cooperative, educational and
social needs Of the agricultural classei
within its respective community.
