Says Newspapers Are Big: Help To Farmers North Carolina farmers find their newspapers a valuable source of ag ricultural news and helpful informa tion, according to a statement by Dean I. 0. Schaub, of State College. Papers in both the weekly and the daily groups carry numerous stories keeping the farmer and his family posted on what is going on in the field of agriculture and home econo mics he pointed out. Other stories give helpful sugges tions regarding better ways of doing wings on me iarm ana in tne coun-1 try home, the dean continued. A number of county farm and home agents over the State have re ported that with few exceptions, the farm family getting ahead and mak ing tne most. of its- opportunities 4s a family that tends newspapers re gularly. " ; Thefe are earlySOtjeeunty news papers in the State published week ly, semi-weekly, or tri-weekly, and practically all of them have a regu lar policy of carrying timely farm news, Dean Schaub said. He added that much of the agri cultural progress of the State can be attributed to the constructive efforts of newspapers in keeping their rural readers well informed. And the State College extension service, of which Dean Schaub is director, is firmly convinced that anything it can do to help the news papers supply their readers with worthwhile agricultural news is a service to farm people of the State. County farm and home agents and extension officials and specialists at Stafe.Colle.ge are urged to keep con stantly on the alert for any farm news or helpful suggestions they can give the papers.
