Farmine ana the Newspaper

Zone of the most promising fea-
lures of the country newspaper of
the Middle West today is the in
creased interest that it takes, and
the increased space that it gives, to
farming. The newspaper of the
small town reflects better than any
other institution the spirit of it's
community, and the greater atten-
ton now paid to farming betokens a
greater realization that farming is
the primary industry of this region
and, for that matter, of the whole
country.
"a few years ago it was exception
al to find a town newspaper taking
any serious interest in farming. The
newspaper of the old days was of and
for the town. Today the country
newspaper publishes irst-class arti-
cles on farming. 1t contains inter-
views with good farmers on agricul-
tural methods and practices and
plans. 1t publishes news and fea-
ture copy dealing with farming in
the community. 1t is a representa-
tive of the country as well as the
town.
"The farmer has begun to recog-
nize these facts. He takes a greater
interest in the newspaper than he
used to take. He pays his subscrip-
ton more promptly. He advertises
at least now and then in the CLASH
fed columns. He is reader to tell
the newspaper man about plans and
work on his farm. In short, he sees
the newspaper as powerful agent
for the betterment of agriculture.
''This spirit of cooperation is the
right spirit. By working together,
the farmer and the newspaper man
can accomplish much for both agri-
culture and journalism. kansas
