Description | The "Washington Farmer," established in 1914 in Spokane, Washington, by Miller Freeman, was a prominent agricultural journal dedicated to advancing farming practices. Originally founded as the Ranche and Range in North Yakima, Freeman transformed it into the Ranch in Seattle in 1902 before renaming it the Washington Farmer in 1914. The newspaper aimed to provide scientific insights into agriculture, departing from its earlier political affiliations. Freeman's vision led him to acquire and rename other agricultural papers in Oregon and Idaho. However, managing multiple publications became challenging, prompting him to focus on industrial papers. Despite changing ownership in 1915, the Washington Farmer remained a vital agricultural resource until its closure in 1971, serving as a cornerstone of farming knowledge in the region for over five decades. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1914 of this newspaper. |
