THE EDITOR ol Kill Wiseman ol WOW Omaha, Neb. The American hirmer is uniloubtedly the most sagacious, hard to tool personality on the lace ol our globe . . When a larm director starts having competitive accomits on his programs, he had l)etter figure he is through I)eing ol any \alue to his sjjonsors. The top farm accounts buy farm directors for exclusivity, and these accounts are looking only at men who live and breathe their jiroducts. I would not want a farm ilirector on my payroll who could carry water on both shoulders. If he is not sold on the sponsor let's find another sponsor, but by all means, let's not have competing accounts using the same farm director.

This modern day "folk" music is programmed to a vast consinning audience wherever it is heard. . . A station with a country music format can produce far more than ratings. It can produce results for both local and regional accounts because the country music listener is the most loyal listener one can find. . . Carl Stuart Program Manager iVAMO Homestead. Pa.
