THE RURAL PRESS.
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press
Pulpit and School Trinity OF t
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
,ecturer 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 of 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 utlilze
to their fullest capacity before ne can
occupy a commanding position in pup
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage anu GU
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness
They are local forces working LOT
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 we'll
as farm periodicals and such otheI
publications as he may find profitable
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no nome
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life ana tne
editor understands the farmers PROB
lens. It is the local press that VII
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects OF mos
vital importance to local life OF the
community.

Unless the proper attention and en-
couragement be given to crop produc-
tion and live stock, we can not hope
for the rural communities in the South
to maintain good roads, efficient
schools and live churches, which are
SO essential to a happy and contented
community life.
The above picture shows how one
farmer is increasing the productive

The Power of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
" 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
nv 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 frall-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions 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. r.
II has a higher and nobler task
Too often the pages of the city dallles
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 Its
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 a 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 e.
ficiency 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 ant
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.
