The Press and Agricultural News

Abstract

It was put back by a world crisis, a depression, and a national emergency which awakened the public to the farm problem. There has been a change in emphasis in farm news and a corresponding change in interest. Swept along by a stream of events that were unusual, sometimes even sensational, agriculture has furnished its share of drama in recent years. The sharecropper, the dust bowl, the migratory worker, the shelter belt, and resettlement projects have been featured in the news. Less spectacular but no less interesting are the alphabetical agencies setting up new programs for agriculture.
