I | Ru Pufpr Rnrlfrtrrl S w Lecturer National Kariaurs' TTn!on A broad campaign of publicity on vV the subject of rural life is needed in J ^ this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. The j city problems are blazoned upon the front pages of the metropolitan dail- % ies and echoed in the country press, j ^ 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 ob- , T scures the substance. A searching investigation into the needs of the farmers will reveal many inherent defects in our economic system that can j (v be easily remedied wlien properly un- ^ derstood and illuminated by the pow- g er of the press. The rural press, the pulpit and the!J school are a trinity of powerful in- j fluences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before lie can -fi occupy a commanding position in pub- ^ lie (inairs. These gigantic agencies are J organized in every rural community fe and only await the patronage and co- $ operation of the farmers to fully dovelop their energy and usefulness. *< They are local forces working for 3 the best interests of their respective | communities. Their work is to build v and their object is to serve. They prosper only through (he development y. and prosperity of the community. i ? Every farmer in this state should $ subscribe for the local paper, as well ' as farm periodicals and such other i; publications as he may ilnd profitable, p but he should by all means subscribe for his local paper, and no home , should be without it. The local paper 'C is part of the community life and the \ editor understands the farmer's problems. It is the local press that will r\ study the local problems and through its columns deal with subjects of most vital importance to local life( of the f. "Community. g A Noble Task. I In loo many instances the country u papers mimic the city press by giv- ? Jng prominence to scandals, accidents \ ana political agitation. The new r rural (Civilization has placed upon the j? rural press renewed responsibilities,';, and enlarged possibilities for useful- I ness. It cannot ,perform its mission to agriculture by recording the frailties, the mishaps and inordinate am- , bitione of humanity, or by filling its columns with the echoes .of the struggles of busy streets, c?r by enchanting , stories of city life which lure our children from the farm. i _ It has .a higher and nobler .task. Too often the pages of the city dailies bristle with the struggle of ambitious 1 men i-) their wild lust for power, and ! c many times the flames of personal < conflict sear the tender buds of new civilization and iilumiriate the pathway to destruction. The rural press Is the governing power of public senth xnent and must hold steadfast to principle and keep the ship of state in the roadstead of progress. The ! rural press can best serve the interests of the farmers by applying its energies to the solution of problems affecting the local community. It j , must stem the mighty life current that is moving from the farm to the * cities, sweeping before it a thousand i , boys and girls per day. It lias to deal with the fundamental problems of 1 civilization at their fountain head. Its | mission is to direct growth, teach ef- j t ficiency and mold the intellectual life ' j of the country, placing before the public the daily problems of the farmers ; and giving first attention to the legislative, co-operative, educational and social needs of the agricultural classes within its respective community. <p]cs The Power of Advertising. nize of The influence of advertising is eleaowly visible in the homes and habits < the farmers, and the advertising umns of the press are making thei." v Jmprin?t upon the lives of our people1^1 'The farmer possesses the things tbar^ ifure best advertised. n's The farmer is entitled to all thde.adgfintages and deserves all the lux er -uriqt of life. We need more art, sci-ed (GOifte and useful facilities on the^y farms, and many homes and farmsv are Aveil balanced in this respect, but ^ the advertiser can render a service bv teftclfiug the advantages of modern equipment throughout the columns olrjV the rural press. 1 The farmers are in need of personal leadeishlp. They have political lead- 1 ers, but they need local industrial c community and educational leaders. r II ?
