The first step-in the mod•-rnizing of the•fatw came with the Introduction of the ro- ral free delivery to 1897. Put in at first as a kart of experiment, a (ouctwRiun to the insistent demauds of the na- tional -grange and other farmers' or- genlaatl•,iIs, it spread rapidly and soon bo ams indi?p'naable. 1t was a potent tactor to waking up the formers. One of the first and greatest results was that the daily {.aper for the tarns waft mode a poesibitity. Before the advent delivery the farmer Ofa rural free whin kept within TMS TY.LIlrnu1XR WAR tutting WNIQ.1W *,• - a week of the markets was do FARM well.

The market reports were n only part of the paper that the farmer. Ile uo longer got his a week old, .but bad it served n most as hot as 1f be bad Iliad in t This daily contact with the things were happening in the world b saki him up, rubbed'off the duet gave him a slew interest In life. The' shiftless farmer who went town two or three times a week. on 'pretense of "getting the mall." only waste half a day or w. earn Ume a mnybn come home "boozed up" 1n tb bargain, Was deprived of his cz and fell luto the habit.ot spending b extra thee fixing .up about tilt! -,place. The farmer wbo had been enteerlerts- fag before became more enterprising and had more time to put his ides* Into practice. Along with file E. F. D. came better roads, and wbee' the farmer did go to town he could make the trip In mord lean time then he did before. ilia del- l; papers find magazines made him as web Informed as any of the business men of tee town. The days of the "hayseed" were numbered. Alongwith the IL l•', I). came a great Increase in the eircuiatiou of the ngricuitural papers. The old type of papers edited by men wbo bad seen little of farming except ftotn a ear window came to an end about this titin, ,rod their places were taken by done over again ou account of a break - dawn to the machine or bad weather. 1, •, 1r4(.0%1 Now the notifying Is all dove in a few '' ' > • "'°b11, dowel tnonte'nte by pinata). esu Many weenie:d s prompt tele- pboie• call has brought the nearest' d,0•tor to the bedside of a sick child M110 wtutd slut have lived Until a trip could be made to town for tbe doctor... This Is one of the reasons that a tele• pboue is seldom taken oat after it bus mice been put in. In a hundred, minor ways the telephone has beeome'necew. 'airy to the farm folk. Ofteo'afl4r the farmer has left fur town his wvife'will think of something mile wants biro to get All she bas to do is to call up the store where he dries his trading and leave a message for him- when the youug folk, want to give a party the teteptlutu,-will quickly bring in every one In the neighborhood. A stray horse le soon Ioenteo3 and hrougbt back hums lu weather too had for the mail carrier to get throngh Important let- ters can be received over the tele- phone. (me,othtr step Is necessary to enable the farmer to make the greatest use of the Meal free delivery• and the tele• {.hone. It is the parcels post Local merchants have objected to n parcels pew on the ground that It would favor rhe mall order ileums ret -their expense. This ran be overcome by giving a low- er rate to packages that go over a rural route only. A Wu•eels post of this kind 11110 been recommended by -the post- uinster genernl. Ile figures that It would prove profitable for thegovern- ment. turning the poste' deficit into a surplus. With a cheap percent post In operation on tile" free rural delivery routes the connection of tbe farmer with the town will -he complete. Fie cal order parcels 'from town and have them delivered at Ida door a few boars Inter. Things which lie cannot get in his local town he can procure from a 'mall order hoose In two or three days. -The• fnriners are nutted to demanding this eonvenlenre, end it Is bound to eome before long. The final step in the emancipation of the fernier wns taken when the trol- ley line and the automobile came Into general use. The trolley has rnektnt 1a children. It better schooling for h has brought theaters. lectures and bet- ter churches within reach of the farm- er's family. hest of ell. the enm{etl- tion with the cities has hrougbt about a much needed awakening of the corn - papers ..opted by mean who had grown up nu Ih, ..oil and who had never got very far »wily from IL These pa- pers taught the farmers the value of Metter methods. 7'hey taught what these methods were find Trow ' they •Pee.nel-bee-sppfied. -Above all. they In- spired the farmers to do the Lest they knew how. 1., respect their cfVllig and to put it on a heathens basis.
