The Wrong Idea
Some town editors still have the idea that the average farmer
cannot understand words of more than one syllable, and that as a
class he differs in intelligence from his town brothers.

We believe that the farmer who has sense enough to suc­
cessfully manage his complicated business in these strenuous days
has sense eno lgh to understand about anything any town editor
is able to dish up: and that the day of the old farm paper, with its
rehash, its sloppy editing, its miserable cuts, its Sis Hopkins jest
columns, and its fake ads, has passed.
The farmer is conservative, he has to be to remain in busi­
ness. but he is not so hide-bound that he cannot progress. And,
with the increase in rural prosperity, and the formation of juven­
ile agricultural clubs, and the wonderful work of the county-
agents the adjption of labor-saving machinery, and the magic car­
pet of the automobile, that brings the farmer to the city in two
hours, the 1 has come a new enlightening in even the back reg­
ions, and t'.sugh the townsmen may not see it those who know
the country, and aVe really a part of it, do.

Town editors need not worry over the lack of intelligence of
their country readers: the success of nationally circulated farm
magazines, that publish tehnical articles, and articles in no whit j
edited down to their rural readers, proves that the farmer as a
class today is able to read big print without a reading glass.
Our hur ch is that the average of intelligence, of patriotism,
aye of efficiency, is as high in the country as in town.
