Analysis of this agricultural leader's views suggests Bailey sought "not to develop a more efficient, productive, and profitable agriculture, but to advance the larger cultural ideals of a 'self-sustaining' agriculture and personal happiness."

Authors identify challenges and potentials for using new information technologies, such as the Internet, to help jobseekers in rural labour markets find employment. Social networks and telephone helplines were found to be used most at present.
"The organic act which lies back of the work college editors are doing provides for the gathering and dissemination of information. It was never intended that public funds should be used for "institutional promotion," "propaganda," "press-agenting," "space-grafting," "publicity," "self laudation," "selling" or call it what you will. If "institutional promotion" - to give it the benefit of the least obnoxious designation - comes as a "by-product" of news and helpful information, there's no harm done. But an item aimed to benefit the institution rather than the person who reads that item is not only subversive to the purposes of the college, but is also subversive to the interests of the so-called "by-product." The college has no mandate to work the newspapers; yet it has a sufficient warranty to work for its readers."

UI electronic subscription, Author analyzes the history, methods and impact of a radio program, "We say what we think," produced by a group of Dane County rural women during this period. Offers perspectives on how the Extension Service encouraged domesticity as the role of rural women. "Linking domesticity to the trope of progress in this way kept rural women from discussing the changes taking place around them." Author also comments on marginalization of rural sociology as a discipline in the academy.

Via ProQuest Historical Newspapers. 1 page., Surveys by county agents suggest that numbers of farms equipped with radios in the U.S. grew from 145,000 in 1923 to 365,000 in 1924 to 550,000 in 1925. Farmers were found to tune in not so much for grand opera or baseball or political speecheds as for weather and market reports.

"The Farm Journalist"series via online. 2 pages., Author suggests that even in the face of compressed time and higher waves in the ocean of work, agricultural journalists can control the knob of that crescendo. "Even if you are the only one able to perceive your value, so be it. Smile. Laugh."
