RURAL TELEPHONE LINES

We are glad to note that the farm CTS are beginning to cooperate with our new telephone manager. He tells us that if the farmers will take their lines up off the fences and from around trees, and put them in the same condition they will their farm before planting, they will find their service greatly improved. He says that it makes no difference how good a telephone you may have. It is as difficult to get service over an ill con- structed line as it is for cotton to grow in grass.
 He further states that if the farm CTS will put their line in the condition mentioned and give him their full CO., operation, we will have service both with town and country second to none in the state, and have communication with one another as one big family sitting around the tireside
