 The Power of Advertising.
 The influence of advertising is clearly visible in the homes and habits of the farmers, and the advertising columns of the press are making their imprin~ upon the lives of our people.
 The farmer is entitled to all the advantages and deserves all the luxuries of life. We need more art. science and useful ia cilities on the farms, and the ad vertiser can render service by teaching the advantages of mod ern equipment throughout the columns of the rural press.

By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers Union.

There Is no payroll in civiliza- tion that does not rest upon the back of the farmer. He must pay the bills-all of them.
 When a farmer buys blow he pays the man who mined the metal. the Woodman who felled the tree. the manufacturer who assembled the raw material and shaped 1t into an article of use iulness. the railroad that trans ported 1t and the dealer who sold him the goods. He pays the wages of labor and capital cm- pioyed in the transaction as we'll as pays for the tools. machinery. buildings, etc. used in the con @truction of the commodity and the same applies to all articles ot use and diet oi himself and those engaged in the subsidiary lines of industry.

HE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Useful Agency on the Farm-The Press, Pulpit and School a Trinity of Influence That Must Be Utilized in
 Building Agri-

By Peter Radford
Iccturer NaIora, larmer, Union

A broad campaign oi publicity on the subject oi rural life is needed in thi, state today t bring the problems of the farm CTS 10 the forefront. The citN problems arc blazoncd upon the front pages of the metropolita
 dailies and echoed in the country press, but the troubles of thc farmers are seldom told, except by those who seek 10 profit by the story, and the glitter of the package ofttimcs obScurcs the substance. \ searching investi- gation into the needs of the farm CTS will reveal many inherent de fectS in our economic system that can be easily remcdicd when properly understood and illumi- hated by the power of the press
 The rural press. the pulpit and the school are d trinity CT pow erful influences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest ca pacity before he can occupy d commanding position in public affairs These gigantic agencie : are organized in every rural com munity and only await the pat ronagc and cooperation of the farmers to fully develop their energy and usefulness. They are local forces working for the best interests of their communities Their work is to build and their object k to serve. They prosper only through the development, and prosperity of the community
 Every farmer in this state should subscribe for the local paper, a, we'll as farm periodicals and such other publications a> hc may lind profitable but he should by ali mcu- subscribe for his local paper. and m home should be without it. The local paper ie par, oi the conImunity ljc and the editor understands the farmers problems.
 A Noble Task.
 In toe many ju~tanreo the country papers mimic the city press by giving prominence to candals, accidents and political agitation. The new rural civili- zatiou has placed upon the rural press renewed responsibilities. and enlarged possibilities for use fulne>>. It cannot perform its mission to agriculture by record ing the frailtie>. the mishapS and inordinate ambitions oi human ity, or by filling it's columns with the echoes of the struggles of busy streets, or by enchanting stories of city life which lure our children from the farm.
 It has a higher and nobler task. The rural press is the gov erniuG power of public sentiment and must hold steadfast to prin- ciple and keep the ship of state in the roadstead of progress. The rural press can best serve the interests of the farmers by ap- plying ito energies to the solution oj problems affecting the loca1 community l. must stem the mighty life current that k nov ing from the farm to the cities. sweeping before it thousand boys and girl, per day.

 Union Opposes Full Crew" Bill.
 The Texas Farmers Union registered its opposition to this character of legislation at the last annual meeting held in Fort Worth, Texas, August 1, lgI4 by resolution, q, follows:
 "Ihe matter of prime mpor- tancc t. the farmers of thi, state k an adequate and efficient mar keting system; and we recognize that such a system is impossible without adequate railroad racili- ties, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least possible cost. Me further rccog- nize that the farmers and pro dtcers i'll the end pay approNi- mately P3 per cent oi the expense of operating the railroads. and 1t is, therefore, to the interest oi the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be a> small as IS possible. consistent with good service and safety. We, therefore, call upon our law makers, courts and juries to bear the foregoing facts in mind when dealing with the common car riers of this state. and we do especially reafiirm the declara- tionS of the last annual convcn- ton of our State Union, opposing the passage of the So-called full crew bill before the thirty-third legislature of Texas"
 The farmers of Missouri in the last election, by an ovcrwhelmin. majority, swept this law off the statute book of that state. and 1t should come off of all statute books where 1t appears and no legislature oi this nation should pass such law or similar leci~- Iatlon which require, unnecessary expenditures.
