Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
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 Outlines 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
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
duences 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
sut-cribe 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 and through
it's 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.

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 it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate ann
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.
1t 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 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
6eiency 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 and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.

probably because it is the part most
likely to be bitten by insects. The
malignant pustules fortunately may be
treated by early excision of the pustule
and the adjoining tissue.
Pulmonary and intestinal anthrax are
caused by the inhalation of spores by
those who come into contact with In
fected material These forms are
usually fatal.
IT has been found that where the
land is hilly pastures exist in which
there are wet low places and that an
thrax appears every year among the
cattle if they are allowed to pasture
there. Certain plats have been found
to retain the germs of anthrax for sew
eral years, a fact which has led many
observers to believe that the anthrax
organism may grow from year to year
without artificial aid. Pasteur con-
cluded that the infected capcasses, al
though deeply buried, remain sources
of Infection and although the con-
trary has been asserted, it has been
demonstrated that there is danger OF
such growth unless such body be
placed at least six feet underground.
