Notes:
Bulletin No. 1, page 2., "The value of farm papers from many angles has been featured. But it may be news to know that a farm paper actually saved the life of Mrs. Frank Rosebough, Bridgeport, New York. Mrs. Rosebough was reading her paper when a disgruntled hired man fired a shotgun through the window at her husband. The charge missed the latter and would have killed Mrs. Rosebough except that the farm paper which was spread before her face broke the force of the shot."
