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."

Reports on a study of library access in rural areas. Results showed 47,054,168 rural people without library service in a U.S. population of 64,029,517. "Hence, it follows that the library falls somewhat short as an extension medium to influence masses of farm people."

Inside front cover of Nelson Antrim Crawford, "Preparation for editorial work on farm papers," Kansas State Agricultural College Bulletin, 1(5). 1 page., Author describes the role and importance of the agricultural press. "We may wonder at times if we haven't too many agricultural papers, but we may as well ask ourselves if we haven't too many churches or too many schools, for the farm paper is a necessary part of the large program which these institutions are helping to carry out."
