Another important function
of the farm pi ess, the editor
said, is to stimulate sound,
serious thinking on controver

Several questions raised by
the audience inquired how
fai mers could manage to cope
with rising land, labor, and
material costs, and still sur
vive on the farm One farmer
asked whj farm publications
didn’t featuie stories on farm
eis who failed, showing the
mistakes they may have made
that led to their failure “Why
not tell some of the bad’” the
man asked.
Reber agreed that some
farm magazines tend to sensa
tionalize, or, dress-up the story
to look too good, but he point
ed out that the responsible
faim pi ess trys to avoid this
pitfall and stick to the facts
He suggested to the question
er that writing a story on fail
ure might present some prob
lems which were considerably
different than telling what a
certain fanner is doing to
succeed.

cups of nutmeats Weight may vary with
type, condition, and size of the nut.
Nuts in the shell generally are a better
buy than shelled nuts, but the shelled are
more convenient to use.
