Appeared in the Northwestern Agriculturist, January 20, 1906., The Northwestern Agriculturist gives any farmers who keep three cows or more a free five-year subscription to the periodical if they will follow recommendations of the periodical's dairy department and give the periodical one-half of the value of the increased milk produced. Article emphasizes the economic value of good information - how "farm papers containing dairy departments make cows give milk."
Editorial section of a North Carolina newspaper opposes those skeptical of having county agents spend their time furnishing news stories to newspapers. The information is considered valuable for readers, or it would not be used. "There is no dearth of matter to fill up columns."
