Through the arrangement perfect
ed between the United States
Weather Bureau and the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, more than
10000 Southern farmers will re-
ceive the daily weather reports by
telephone beginning July LIST.
The daily weather reports will be
furnished the telephone company by
the Weather Bureau, and the re-
port will be read to the farmers
by telephone operators. At a Civ
en- hour each day a general alarm
will be sounded, calling every
farmer to the telephone. When they
are all assembled the report will
be read. Any farmer who is not
able TO answer the signal and hear
the report has the privilege of call
ing the operator and securing the
information.
Almost every farmers telephone
line connected with the Bell Sys-
tenn has six or more subscribers
and by reading the report to each
line the work can be speedily ac-
comPlished
This is the first comprehensive
and systematic effort to furnish
this information without cost to the
farmers of the South The spread
of the telephone in the rural dis
tricts in the past few years has
made it possible to reach such a
large number of farmers through
the Bell system and the dissemina-
ton of weather news by telephone
is one of the many practical uses

Bell Company covers the State of
