THE RURAL PRESS . p ti The Local Paper a Moat Uaeful .. Agency on the Farm— The Proat, »■ Pulpit and School a Trinity of a Influence That Must Be t Utilized in Building 'v Agriculture. ' t ! l' : By Peter Radford s Lecturer National Farmers' Union A broad campaign ot publicity 00 j t the subject of rural life Is needed In . % this state today to bring the problems 1 of the farmers to the forefront The | city problems are blazoned upon the , front pages of the metropolitan . dall I ' les and echoed In the country preaa, > but the troubles of the farmers are seldom told, except by those who 1 seek to profit by the story, and the , glitter of the package ofttlmes ob f scures the substance. A searching In- t vestlgatlon Into the needs of the farmers will reveal many inherent to 1 fects In our economic system that can be easily remedied when properly un- • derstood and Illuminated by the pow- 1 er of the prese. 1 The rural press, the pulpit and the | school are a trinity of powerful to- , fluences that the farmer must utilize ; to their fullest capacity before he can occupy a commanding position In public affairs. These gigantic agencies are organized in every rural community 1 and only await the patronage and c» operation of the farmers to fully do 1 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 problems. It Is the local press that will study the local problems and through Its columns deed with subjects of most vital Importance to local life of the community. A Noble Task. In too many instances the country j papers mimic the city press by giv ■( ing prominence to scandals, accidents j and political tfgitation. The new < rural civilization has placed upon the rural press renewed responsibilities, and enlarged possibilities for useful- 1 ness. It cannot perform Its mission : to agriculture by recording the frail- j ties, 4be mishaps and Inordinate am- . _ bitions of humanity, or by filling its ! columns with the echoes of the strug- j

gles of busy streets, or by enchanting 1 stories of city life which lure our j ' children from the farm. It has a higher and nobler task 1 Too often the pages of the city dailies I bristle with the struggle of ambitious men in their wild lust for power, and ! many times the flames of personal ! , conflict sear the tender budj of new ' ' civilization and illuminate the path | way to destruction The rural press' is the governing power of public sent! ! ment and must hold steadfast tc j principle and keep the ship of state j in the roadstead of progress. The j rural press can best serve the Inter 1 ests of the farmers by applying its I energies to the solution of problems affecting the local community. II must stem the mighty life current that Is moving from the farm to the cities, sweeping before it a thousanc boys and girls per day. It has to deal witb tbe fundamental problems ol civilization at their fountain head. Its mission is to direct growth, teach ef ficiency and mold tlie intellectual life of the country, placing before the pub lie the daily problems of the farmers and giving first attention to the leg ' isiative. co-operative, educational and j social needs of the agrlcultflYhl classes within its respective community. The Power of Advertising. Tbe influence of advertising is clear ' iy risible In tbe homes and habits ol i ' the farmers, and the advertising col j ' umns of the press are making theli | • Jmprint upon the lives of our people j i The farmhr possesses the things thai I are best advertised. The farmer is entitled to all the ! advantages and deserves all the lux j uries of life. We need more art, sci | ence and useful facilities on the 1 farms, and many homes and farmi j - are well balanced In' this respect, but | ■ the advertiser can render a service ! 1 by teaching 'the advantages of modert j equipment throughout the columns 01 the rural press. w The farmers are In need of persona j leadership. They have political lead ers. but they need local industrla community and educational leaders.

i THE GRANGE Thursday afternoon and evening is Day at- Fouth Seaville and with local grange as host- As every subordinate grange in the county is represented in tbe membership a good attendis anticipated. The new potato, the (Jape May, or as shown at the coun- ' tv Board of Agriculture, the New For- - tune, will be on exhibition and with the grower. Lemuel I'ompton, to tell about it. Lecturer Howell promises the presence of the State Lecturer, and County Superintendent Hand is expected to speak in the evening upon the plan for j the union of the vicinity schools. Those who come by the morning train having to be there early will probably, as is the I Pomona custom, be entertained at din- | tbe Pomona banquet not being oa until supper time. At fast week's meeting of the Stone Hnrbor Grange, No. 199, Harry Simpson acting overseer and Sister Webb filled the Chaplain's plate. The application of Thomas Mullin was received and referred. The report of the Treasurer shnwnd finances in good shape. Brother Fimpson reported visiting Brother Geo. \V. West at the home of his daughter in Philadelphia and finding_him improving with another operation in prospect. Sister Webb was with her husband and in excellent health physically. Both wished te be remembered. 1 At a Stone Harbor Council meeting a communication, asking, that a borough flower and colors be officially adopt- ' ed. and a committee (Miss Van Thuyd, Mrs. Starr and Mrs. S. E. Herbert) was named by-tlie mayor, to take the matter j in hand and report at Council's meeting , of the 18th. As all were members of I tlie Grange, and as the open session of the Lecturer's Hour would give the | chance for whoever not members cared to I name a choice, it was decided to have I the ballot taken at tlie Grange, meeting , of the 16tli inst. s To add to the interest, the lecturer, 1 Miss Van Thuyne. agraed to give the I hour of that meeting to the Goddess , Flora. Miss Katherin Townsend, who 1< should hold court, and with each mem1 her of the Grange appearing before, her t in the interest of a flower tell something ! about, and. if so desiring could thed press its claim for candidacy. In a "straw vote" at the meeting Saturday niglit the hydrangea received the majorP ity -. golden rod. red clover, chrysantbe- ' mums and dahlias being mentioned. Re8 i freshmen ts on Saturday night were peaglnnt sandwiches, cakes and hot coffee. , Mar-hall Clarence Fislier was a caller |! during "the hour." and was told a cup D of coffee w ith en's was always at his 1- j disposal.
