TELEPHONE AND the FARMER

III speaking vi TIE Tecelll c1IdGSe
in its telephone exchange, made by
tAe Western Electric company, at
Petaluma, California, the Petaluma
Courier gives an exposition of the
value Of the telephone, which the
farmers in this vicinity should pro-
fit by. TO quote the Courier:
The addition of the farmers
lines will not only he a great adj
vantage to the farmer but will also
tend to greatly increase the business
Of the city.
Only recently has the farmer
seen the great benefits to be derived
from the use of the telephone. It
used to happen that frequently a
farmer would come to town with a
load of grain or produce and stand
around all day waiting for the high
est bidder on the load. Ifit happen
ed that he came at time when the
market was favorable, he might get
bids, unless the buyers had cliqued
against him; but more often he
would be obliged to hang around all
day and then either sell at the same
price offered in the morning or haul
the load back home.
It's different now. The rural
telephone has changed all this. To-
day the farmer has no excuse for
driving to town without first know
ing the exact condition of the mar
ket, for he can call up the buyer in
advance and if the market is rigl t
he can contract for his produce be-
fore leaving leaving home.
This enables him to get highest
possible price for his produce and
consequently he has more money to
spend in town.
This is only one of the many
uses of the telephone by which the
farmer is greatly benefited. Today
there is hardly any one in a well
settled country who has not availed
himself Of it by telephoning for .
doctor when some one was Ill or fo,
a broken part of a machine thai
stopped farm operations until i
was mended.
THE telephone is grea. protec-
ton against loss of crops due to
sudden weather changes. Recently
the United States Weather Bureau
has put into operation a system
which will enable them to warn the
fruit grower in advance when any
sudden drop in the temperature is
expected. By means of main
office and various sub-stations these
reports are sent out over telephone
to practically all fruit growers. A
clerk is on duty at all hours at the
Los Angeles office to send out these
warnings. When notified of an ex-
pected drop in temperature the fruit
grower can make the necessary ar
engagements for protecting his crops.
Socially the telephone has work
ed wonders among the farmers and
by its use the greatest disadvantage
to farm life-that of social isolation
has been overcome.
These are only few of the
many uses which the successful
farmer makes of his telephone. In
short he is in touch not only with
his neighbors but the entire world. !"
