By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union A broad campaign of publicity on the subject of rural life is needed in this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. 'the Mty problems are blazoned upon the front pages of the metropolitan dail. les 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 ofttimqs ob scurb the substance. A searching in Vestigation into the needs of the farmers will reveal many inherent de fects in our economic system that cail be easily remedied when properly un derstood and illuminated by the pow er of the press. The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of powerful in fluences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can occupy a commanding position in pub lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are organized in every rural community and only await the patronage and co operation of the farmers to fully de velop their. energy and usefulness. They are local forces working for the best interests of their respective 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 should subscribe for the local paper, as well as farm periodicals and such other publications as he may find profitable, but he 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 prob lems. It is the local press that will study the local problems and through its columns deal with subjects of most vital importance to local life -of the community. A Noble Task. In too many instances the country papers mimic the city press by giv ing prominence to scandals, accidents and political agitation.' The new rural civilization has placed upon the rural prers renewed responsibilities, and enlarged possibilities for useful ness. It cannot ierform its mission to agriculture by recording the frail ties, the mishaps and inordinate am bitions of humanity, or by filling its columns with the echoes of the strug gles of busy streets, or by enchanting stories of city life which lure our children froin the farm. It has a higher and nobler task. Too often the pages of the city dailies bristle with the struggle of ambitious men in their wild lust for power, and nany tins the flames of personal conflict sear the tender buds of new civilization and illuminate the ath way to destruction. The rural jpress is the governing poweor of public senti ment and must hcld steadfast to princile and keep) the ship of -state in the roadsteadl of progress. The rural press can best serve the inte ests of the far-mers by applying its energies to the solution of pro-blems1 affecting the local community. It must stemn the mighty life current that is moving from the farm to the cities, sweeping before it a thousand boys and girls per day. It has to dleal with the fundamental problems of civilization at their fountain head. Its mission is to direct growvth, teach ef ficiency and mold the intellectual life of the country, placing before the pub lie the daily problems of the farmers and giving first attention to the leg islative. co-operative, educational and social needs of the agricultural classes within its respective community. The Power of Adver-tising. The influence of advertising is clear ly visible iAi the homes and habits of the farmers, and the advertising col umns of the press are making their Imprint upon the lives of our' people. The farmer possesses the tihings that are best advertised. The farmer is entitled to all the advantages and deserves all the lux uries of life. We need more art, eel once and useful facilities on the farms, and many homes and farms are well balanced in this respect, but the advertiser can render a service by teaching the advantages of modern equipment throughout the columns of the rural press. The farmers are in need of personal leadership. They have political lead ers, but they need 'local industrial commurrity and educational' leaders. NOTICE OF SALE.
