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.
It has 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 patti :
way to destruction. The rural press,
is the governing power of public sentil
ment and must hold steadfast to

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most usefu'
Agency on the Farm-The Press
Pulpit and School a Trinity OF
Influence That Must 30
Utli. .ed in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Iecturer National FARMERS Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life Is needed In
this state today to bring the proDlems
of the farmers to the forefront Inc
CITY problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dail-
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told. except by those VINO
seek to profit by the story, ana the
glitter of the package ofttimes oD-
scures the substance. A searching IN
vestigaticn 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 a commanding position in pub
lic affairs. These gigantic agencies are
vi StllLtu III tFtil i"i"'
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the faYners 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
end 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. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community.

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.
