TOWN COMFORTS ON FARM,

at is general knowledge how the motor car abounds
among the granger states of the west" asserts the
New York Herald. IL it is not SO common on the
wide prairie as in the Fifth avenue canyon between 8
and 2 o'clock at evening, it is only because It has more
room by millions of acres beyond the Alleghenies to
spread out.
But the western farmers modern conveniences are
not confined to the automobile, the tractor, the talk
ing machine and the lightning rod. Department of
agriculture reports show that every other farm in
Michigan and Oregon has a telephone. In Minnesota,
Ohio and Missouri so per cent of the farms have tele-
phones; the proportion in Indiana is as high as 66.4
per cent; in Illinois 1872, Nebraska 76.A and Kansas
IT.9. Iowa, the agricultural example Of America in
SO many ways, reports 1873 1852 farms equipped with
telephones, or s6.1 per cent of all the farms in the
state.
Perhaps even more astonishing is how gas and cleo
trio light have been carried to farms far from the
seaboard and even from the traditional water power
regions. If Vermont can boast lila per cent Of her
farms lighted by gas or electricity, Nevada counts 1872
per cent. New Tork's are 1879 per cent, but Wash
ington's are 1913 per cent. Ohio runs lat per cent,
Iowa, 1913, California 25.9 and Utah 43.4.
"A striking and n cherries contrast is Arkansas,
with 22.7 per cent of farms supplied with telephones
but only IL per cent with gas or electricity, while
South Carolina, where 81 per cent of the farms have
the modern light, shows only 81 per cent with tele-
phones"
