DAILY FORECAST TO FARMERS.
United Telephone Co. Weather News
for 100000 Kansans.

One of the greatest extensions Of
the weather bureau service ever
made at one time has been installed
by the United Telephone company. 1t
serves approximately 100000 per-
sons daily. The service is given to
practically all the northwestern part
of the state. thru the exchanges and
toll lines controlled by the company.
The forecasts for each day are
wired from the government weather
bureau office in Chicago direct to
the exchanges, where they are plac-
ed on the lines to each subscriber, or
are placed on file for the information
of any persons who calls during that
day. During the extremely cold
weather stock men and farmers were
unusually anxious to know what kind
of weather was expected to descend
on the state within the next "a hours,
in order to prepare for emergencies.
Thousands of farmers call the ex-
changes daily in order to keep post
ed on what is brewing in the way OF
weather changes.
The total number of subscribers
reached by the service is above 5O,-
600, and it is estimated that five per-
sons use each telephone. Thus 25O,-
600 Kansans are daily in touch with
the latest wrinkles in weather con-
ditions. Every man in northwest
Kansas who has telephone can find
out at any minute of the day the
forecast for the next "a hours, or in
cases where decided changes are
forecasted the central girls call the
men. who have stock which might
suffer thru exposure. The exchanges
reached by the service thru the Uni
ted Telephone company include the
following: Abilene, Clay Center,
Concordia, Salina, Downs. Oakley,
Hays, Colby, Norton and others. a
total OF forty-six exchanges.
