The daily and weekly press have long ‘been standard-bearers in the farmer’s economic, political, and s0o7 ciélogical struggles. They have heralded good times and bad, and tried advantage of their readers. They hvaé blazoned warnings against eco y-wrecking \panaceas and fought valiantly, with printer’s ink mixed with common sense, in favor of one project or another regarded py their editors as meriting editorjal support in the interest of all the people. ‘ While the newspaper can never be supplanted in its function and service, there is an opportunity in radio to supplement its invaluable columns with additional assistance to. the farmer and the farm home, and this writer is happy to see that radio is generally taking advantage ‘of that opportunity. Of course, where newspapers operate their own rafio stations the service is a coordinated one. Radio etations can provide information on a variety of topica in which the farmers are interested. This) information is generally of 4 kind that supplements newspaper material—such as spot market data put on the air at once and then made keting, and other farm problems that are too long for newspaper use. It is encouraging to note that as a matter of public\ service the radio stations are making their facilities ayailable for that punpose. : ‘Most of the farm programe of. fered. are sustaining, ones. Just as newspaper editors open their col umne free for generally useful information, radio program directors set aside free time for.a similar objective producing no financial return, C. K.
