Agricultural, Garden, Country Life and

Allied Publications

This is the third most important section; but it must be borne in mind that the needs of agricultural and allied publications are highly specific. Therefore it is an utter waste of time and postage to offer general articles or material that is not based upon solid information drawn from experience. Farm editors like stories of personal, if modest, achievement, and they are not so insistent upon literary as upon effective treatment. Facts and methods are more desirable than supposititious cases and theories. While farm papers offer a good market for the by-products of a discreet, observing and industrious general writer, manuscripts submitted must bear no ear-marks of having been gotten up for the sole purpose of selling. Editors and readers alike are deservedly suspicious of such.

Some of the periodicals maintain a staff which supplies most of the material used, and others report that they are not in the market for unsolicited or general contributions. This does not mean that brief, to-the-point articles are invariably refused, for most editors welcome the work of a beginning writer, if he has "the goods"-because a new name is not hackneyed by much previous mention on their pages, a directly opposite requirement from that of the standard magazines. Payment is very often a matter for special arrangement; and as matter is often gratuitously contributed to the smaller or special class publications, when sending to them the writer should signify whether or not payment is expected.

In respect to fiction, short-stories, sketches, etc., are used for the household departments of the general farm periodicals of large circulation; and children's stories for the juvenile columns.

The garden or country life publications have a more sophisticated class of readers, suburban instead of country dwellers in large part. These magazines use little if any fiction, and their articles are descriptive of beautiful estates and gardens, prize pets or show animals, greenhouse flowers, landscape architecture, etc. In treatment of these subjects, beauty and finish are relatively more important than utility; but accuracy of knowledge is essential.

Suitable photographs add greatly to the salability of articles for nearly all these periodicals.
