I HI: Rural. PRESS SIS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm--The 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 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 III
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 trinity of powerful IN
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a 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-
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. 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.
