WIRELESS AID
TO FARMERS
Government To Send Out Radio
Reports on Weather And
Crops
BY Newspaper Enterprise

Washington, Aug. 3-FOr some time
the postoffice department has been
sending out bulletins by wireless tele
graph, giving summaries OF weather
and crop conditions.
The bulletins were relayed to air.
plane mail radio stations in all parts
of the country. There they were pick
ed up by county agents and farm bur-
eau officials and sent out to farmers
by mail.
This service is said to have helped
farmers great deal, but it wasn't
entirely satisfactory, because it took
the bulletins a long time to get from
the relay points to the farmer.
Now the postoffice department pro-
poses to overcome this difficulty by
sending out the bulletins by wireless
telephone instead of wireless tele-
graph.
That means that any farmer who
wants to install "a wireless phone
apparatus can get the hot bulletins
in his own home. siTtygs
A simple wireless phone apparatus
can be installed in farmhouse for
$35.
