C.s Farm and Home Hour used to be about the only chain program devoted to the interests. of the farmer. But when 15 minutes of that time was sold to a sponsor, then Columbia, WLW of Cincinnati and a host of others jumped into the breach. The results are enough to make farmer sick any with laughter or disgust. On WGY, Schenectady, Sheffield Farms Co. one of the most hated milk monopolies in the country is trying to convince the dairymen that it is their guardian angel. And on C. B. S. the Four Corners Theater" is busily dramatizing such old chestnuts as the Breakers and Aunt Jerushy on the Warpath" as though deliberately endeavoring to insult the intelligence of its agricultural audiences. Most of the other programs put on by radios penthouse farmers are equally ridiculous. Variety hit the nail on the head when it called the Sheffield broadcasts counter - propaganda" and remarked of the Four Corners Theater that for commercial purposes this doesnt even seem to fit a chicken-coo- p manufacturer . . . the essence and effect may just as well be left in the bams." All of which reminds us that maybe it wasnt just prejudice which caused more than 100 newspapers to eliminate radio columns this year. self-respecti- ng .
