THE RURAL PRESS
Tho Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press, !
Pulpit and School Trinity Of
Influence That Must Bo
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 in
yestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er Of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are q trinity of powerful in
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
OCCUPY a commanding position in pub
slic affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
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 anG through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life OF the
community.

PROTECT THE LATE MATCHES
Chicks Are Special Prey Of Rats,
Weaseis and Hawks Unless Proper
Precautions Are Taken.

Late-hatched chicks often become
The special prey of rats, weasels and
hawks unless proper precautions are
taken to avoid losses from this
source. These enemies seem worse
in late summer than early in the sea-
son. In the case of rats, this is ac-
counted for by the fact that as soon
as hot weather arrives many Of them
desert their hot quarters around the
barns and sheds and take to the old
board and rail piles, as we'll as to the
patches Of thick weeds and grass.
Here they lurk. ready to pounce upon
unsuspecting chicks.
AS to preventive measures: first,
oil harbors near the chicks runs
should be banished and the rodents
destroyed before they have had time
to do any harm. Until this Is done
the best preventive measure is the
Tree use Of wire netting about the
coops, such as screening ventilation
holes, providing screen doors. Not
must it be forgotten that rodents can
burrow, hence when these enemies
are present floors in the coops are
necessary If losses would be avoided.
1t is when chicks run in an open
field that hawks and crows do the
most mischief. When there are trees
or shrubbery in the yards, with a
few convenient shelters of boards or
boxes under which the chicks can
speedily seek protection when a bird
or prey swoops down. the losses will
not be great. When = * or crow

these birds often do, the only remedy

terminate 1t by the gun route.

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 we'll 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.
