HE RURAL PRES!
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm —The
Press, Pulpit and Sch iol a
Trinity of Influence That
Must Be Utilized in
Building Agri¬
culture.
By Peter Radford
lecturer National Farmers’ I nion.
A broad campaign of publicity
on the subject of rural life is ;
needed in this state today to
bring the problems of the
ers to the forefront. The city
problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the met. upolitan
dailies 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 obscures the
substance. A searching investi¬
gation into the needs of the farm¬
ers will reveal many inherent de¬
fects in our economic system that
can be easily remedied when
properly understood and illumi¬
nated by the power of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and
the school are a trinity of pow¬
erful influences that the farmer
must utilize to their fullest ca¬
pacity before he can occupy a
commanding position in public
affairs. These gigantic agencies ;
are organized in every rural com¬
munity and only await the pat- ;
ronage and co-operation 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 is to serve. They prosper
only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state 1
should subscribe for the local i
paper, as well as farm periodicals !
and such other publications as |
he may find profitable, but he j
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 farmer’s problems.
A Noble Task.
In too many instances the
country by papers giving mimic prominence the city j
press to i j
scandals, accidents and political j
agitation. The new rural civili
zation has placed upon the rural
press and enlarged renewed possibilities responsibilities, for j
use- ;
fulness. It cannot perform its j
mission to agriculture by record¬
ing the frailties, the mishaps and
inordinate ambitions of human¬
ity, or by filling its columns with !
the echoes of the struggles of
busy streets, or by enchanting
stoiies of city life which lure our
children front the farm.
It has a higher and nobler
task. I he rural press is the gov
erning power of public sentiment
and must hold steadfast to prin¬
ciple and keep the ship of state
m the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve tin*
interests of the farmers by ap¬
plying its energies to the solution
ot problems affecting the local
community. mighty It must stem the
life current that is mov¬
ing from the farm to the cities,
sweeping boys before it a thousand
and girls per day. It has
" eal with the fundamental
Problems of civilization at their
un.iin head. Its mission is
to d,rect growth, teach efficiency

Half Your Living
Without Mon?y Cost
A right or wrong stmt in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are 1 facing a
crisis o n cotton. Cotton credit is up¬
set. The supply merchant cannot ad¬
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A Rood piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
Kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! , But it must be a real
gaiden, and not the mere one-plant¬
ing patch in the spring and fan.
Hastings’ 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav¬
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT’S FREE. Send for
