Farmers Oppose 6Hick’ Type Movie Threat of Independent Pro duction Made if Carica tures Are Continued. Chicago, Sopt. 20.—The ‘'hick” farmer with hayseed In his whiskers and trousers tucked in his boots, caricatured in the movies and on the stage, will be relegated to the same shelf with the dado bird, if plans approved here today at the publicity convention of the American Farm Bureau federation are successful. Movies qn Broadway and State street will dispell the ancient farmer type and in his place present on the sliver screen the modern farmer, a type of business man with a capital of from $25,000 to $100,000, an owner of automobiles and the latest farm machinery. The blame for the old "Yankee farmer” type being carried in the minds of the majority of America’s city dwellers was laid at the door of the movie producers themselves by Samuel Guard, director of publicity of the federation. “The farm Is modem and up to date with all the convenlencea and comforts of the city, but the film Producer has woefully neglected to keep pace with the farmer,” he de clared. "They fall to depict us as citizens, but prefer to picture us as 'hicks’ and ‘rubes.’ ”\Ve don’t want these kind of cari catures circulating among the public, and if the motion picture interests won’t picture rural life and districts as they should be, we intend to pro duce our own pictures.” Not alone will the movies be used to correct impressions of American farms and farmers, but they will be qaed, according to plans of the pub ucity convention, to teach the latest scientific methods of agriculture to tika farmers themselves. The American Farm Bureau fed eration already has utilized the radio in furthering farm work of the coun try. Farm programs with practical farmers or authorities on agricultural problems are being broadcast weekly from hundreds of stations throughout the country and these will be in creased materially in the near future.
