Greatest Newspaper Is the Country
Wfeekly, Says Journalism Teacher
The greatest newspaper in America, of county weekly in America, run or-
today is the country weekly, and it is dinarily Tor political purposes, the
bound to survive, declared John H.
Casey, professor of rural journalism
in the University of Missouri.
Mr. Casey emphasized the point that
the country weeklies now have “a
combined circulation of 15,000,000 cop
ies weekly, read by 75,000,000 read
ers.'
“The weekly will survive as it has
developed,” he asserted, “that is,
through service—service to the. com
munity.
“In the aggregate the country week
ly in America is issued in 12,000 edi
tions, 52 times a year; published in
12,000 separate newspaper offices in
8,000 different towns and villages,
which offices occupy a combined floor
space far in excess of that afforded
by the great Woolworth building of
modern type of country weekly has
prosperity spelled on every page in
every issue.
“The one unpardonable thing about
the country weekly,” said Professor
Casey, “is for it to neglect its editori
al column to develop its news and ad
vertising columns. Many weeklies ig
nore the editorial privileges or fill in
with some canned stuff from the city
syndicate house when there are so
many local problems crying for the
editor's attention. These things, too,
have the right to expect editorial
treatment in a small community.
“Without its weekly newspaper, the
typical American community would be
like a school without a teacher, or a
church without a pastor,” he conclud
ed. “In the aggregate, the country
New Yoric city and the great Wrigley weekly determines the outconie of
building of Chicago,
“The country weeklies with their
75,000,000 readers, constitute in the
aggregate, and individually, the best
advertising medium of products, sat
isfying
sing medhin
, or protnisii
man want that this advertising age
has developed.”
It was Professor Casey's belief that
“w.e will always have the country
weekly with us in some form, even
though all of our population should
move to the city. Those community
weeklies, collectively and individually,
will always assert a tremendous in
fluence for better men and women.
As contrasted with the primitive type
more elections, exerts a greater influ
ence for constructive community pro
gress, is read longer by more mem
bers of the f^pnily, and constitutes,
with its circulation of 15,000,000, a
ing to satisfy, a hu- -better advertising medium than any
other group of newspapers or periodi
cal publications. In addition to which
it is the most specialized of publica
tions and at the same time the most
universal in appeal. When properly
conducted, it cultivates so intensively
its home news field that city dailies,
farm journals and general magazines
circulating in the same territory be
come -only secondary influences at
best.”

a similar proposal was voted down re
cently by a narrow margin after it had
been sponsored by the recognized Re- '
publican leaden. ' *;
Senate leaden expect the house to
accept the amendment which would < ►
appropriate $1,200,000 for beginning j * }
work on the three scout cruisen this
year and the prevailing opinion at 1
the capitol is that Mr. Coolidge will i
sign the naval bill with thisi provision :
in it.
Even if the amended bill becomes a
law it would not necessarily follow
that work would be started on the ad
ditional craft this year as under the
amendment the president could direct
ithe navy department to withhold the
letting of bids.
The chief executive has taken the
position that the construction of the \
cruisers at this time is not essential ( <
and that it would be the better policy <
to defer the letting of contracts pend- j
ing the outcome of the efforts now be
ing made at Geneva to bring about
another disarmament conference.
Both sides of the controversy over
the cruisers had their say in the sen- < ►
ate last week and the vote on the
amendment came today without fur-
ther debate after Senator Curtis, the - < \
majority leader, who stood with the
president, had announced he was rea
dy for the test of strength.
The cruiser amendment whicih the
house rejected several weeks ago on
a roll call vote, after having adopted
it by a teller count, was sponsired by
Representative Tilson, the Republican
leader, who declared he 'did not con
sider it contrary to the president’s!
views. It would have apropriated less !
than half a million dollars to be used!
for drawing plans and making other
preliminary arrangements for the con
struction of the cruisers.

“I have rued *AA Quality’ Fertilizers
for three years and am very well pleased
with results. This year I planted 400
bags of seed potatoes—about 75 or 80
acres—urinp 7000 pounds of *AA Qual
ity’ Fertilizers per acre and in spite of
the dry weather I figure it will take 5000
barrels to hold the crop. The quality
was very good, ranging from “number
ones to fancies.”
—C. A. Stroup
Every crop you harvest leaves your land
poorer—unless you enrich the soil
with a good fertilizer
4, AA QUALITY’’ Fertilizers do
more than carry the burden
of feeding the current crop.
They build up your land gen
erally and enrich the soil for
succeeding seasons. They build
up run-down fields and make
them profitable. They give you
heavy yields of better quality
products.
That’s because “AA Qual
ity” Fertilizers are
made right. Their
formulas are the re
sult of years of scien
tific research. They
supply crops with
just the right plant
food elements, in
proper proportions
and such perfect con
dition that they are
available to each
plant during every stage of its
growth. They bring crops to
an earlier—and more profitable
—maturity.
The materials in “AA Qual
ity” Fertilizers are most care
fully prepared, mixed, curedand
remilled. That’s why they al
ways work uniformly in drill
or planter. They are made by
the largest fertilizer manufac
turing company in the
world! And backed
by a first, a second
and a third genera-
tion of consistent, en
thusiastic users! . . .
whose farms have
been enriched, whose
yields have been in
creased, whose profits
have mounted into
big money.
