In Charge Radio News Service, U. S
Department of Agriculture

In my opinion there is no single use
OF radio except the protection OF life
at sea and in the air that should take
precedence over its utilization for the
benefit of agriculture. There are more
than 32.000,000 people on farms, COM
prising nearly one-third the total popu-
lation of the United States. Most of
these people are located where they
are practically cut off from immediate
contact with the outside world. The
radio is the only means of getting to
them quickly either the economic in
formation necessary in the proper con-
duct of their business or the general
news of the day.
The Department of Agriculture
broadcasts weather. crop and market
reports from six radio telegraphy and
radiophone stations of the Post OlHce
department. Daily market reports on
the live stock, grain. cotton, hay, feed,
trusts and vegetable markets are
broadcast over virtually the entire
United States, and farmers located al
most anywhere can receive them eth
er direct or with the assistance of
amateur operators. A number of state
bureaus of markets and agricultural
colleges are also broadcasting both
local and national market and crop re-
ports by radio telegraphy and radio
phone
With regard to the broadcasting of
music and entertainment, anything in

the way OF entertainment that will af

measurably rebound to the benefit OF
the whole nation. The farmer is as
much interested in the daily gossip,
financial or sporting news as any one.
In many instances the only entertain
ment the farmer has comes by radio
phone.
The time element In dispatching
weather crop and market news is a
big factor affecting the value of such
reports. In cutting hay or harvesting
grain, for example, an hours delay in
the dispatch of weather reports may
mean loss of several thousand dol
lars. An early morning report on
market conditions and the estimated
receipts at the market that day is of
great value to the live stock grower
about to ship carload of hogs to mar
ket. Prompt daily reports on the fruit
and vegetable market enables the
farmer to determine when and where
farm products are most needed and to
arrange his shipments accordingly A
sudden frost may kill an entire fruit
crop. By radio warnings of severe
temperature changes or of storms can
be instantly flashed to an entire dis
trict
When thousands of tons of food
products are threatened with destruc-
ton by impending storms or floods
methods of communicating
are too slow Market news
to be of greatest value should be re-
oeived the same day. The prompt re
ceipt of reports on the condition of
crops is also of great importance. The
radio is the only means of quickly

was tramping to the town. But the
boy had wanted to be early at the
market, and so wouldn't stop to take
shelter until the storm should be over.
He arrived at his destination drenched
to the skin, but with all the little
cookies and sweetmeats quite dry in
their careful wrappings. He began to
sell them at once, standing still at
the pitch he had chosen. In few
hours, the cakes were gone and Yam
kel was at liberty to hurry. home. He
walked as fast as he could, shivering
a little, for his clothes were still
damp and the wind was blowing
colder. He set his teeth, bent his
head, and hurried BY the time ne
reached home, his teeth were chatter
ing, and nothing his mother could 40

yet, by the following morning ne was

If that was what happened to line
boy like Yankel, Asher-Leib couldn't
understand it. Berrel, the son Of the
richest man in their small community
was lazy, and yet as strong as an OK!
-Asher-Leib felt little satisfaction
at the thought that none of the twelve
boys in the neighborhood called Yam
kel "Red-Head" now-not since he
was sick.
The men were hurrying now. 1t
was most noon. The sun had mounted
with damp heat, and now it was
hidden, and the whole sky overcast
with heavy thunder-clouds.
"Come, we are trying to reach the
deserted hut on the edge OF the
forest, Asher-Lieb's father called
back to him. And the boy quickened
his pace to trot so as not to be

comfortable drenching.
But the storm kept on, and it was
so late before it abated, that they
could not have travelled more than an
hour before encamping for the night.
And they would have had to stop in
the wet forest, for they were several
hours away from the village they had
meant to reach by that night. So
there was nothing for it but to re-
main in the hut, and to start before
dawn in the morning.
Mottl the tailor woke them at the
first gray streak in the sky, and they
started manfully out. But it seemed
that misfortune was bent on over
taking them. The roads were deep
in mud from the late rainy weather,
and some of them were in fact, i'm
passable. They turned off to less
familiar paths, hoping to meet some
peasant or wood-cutter who would
direct them Alright. They met no
body. And as they were pushing along
a promising enough road out of the
woods, the path gave turn, and
they found themselves not far from
the deserted hut where they had spent
the former night.
They were forced to give up in
despair. There was barely another
hour of daylight, they were tired and
mud-stained from their long efforts,
and they could not hope to reach any
civilized spot before the time for Kol
Nidre.
''There is nothing to do," said one
of the neighbors resignedly, "but to
spend the fast day here" And they
shared out the food for the last meal
before the fast. "We shall not even
be able to hold SERVICE" said Asher
Leib's father, bitterly, "for we are
just short of a Minyan (The ten

A Yom Kippur Story

A YOm klppur Story
Asher-Leib didn't give up, the first
time that his father refused to take
him along with the men, to celebrate
Yom Kippur at the town of Nemirov.
Asher-Leib, usually quiet and studi-
Gus boy, with a great deal of respect
for his father, on this occasion raised
several arguments to convince his
father that it would be good to take
him on the two-days' journey to the
nearest town that boasted of Syna-
gogue and large congregation.
II am twelve years DID," he plead
ed, "snd by the next year I shall be
Bar Mitzvah. It is good for me to
see how they daven in the big Schulz
at Nemirov."
GAS to that, your Bar Mitzvah is a
whole year off. can take you to
Nemirov for Pesach."
"But," ventured Asher-Leib, quieter
but just as eager, ~ can carry all the
machzerim (holiday prayer -books)
for you. All the bundles for all the
men, I will carry!" Asher-Leib's
father laughed, not unkindly, at such
big promises from the slender, dark
skinned boy Of twelve.
eyes, great hero you are! Such
broad shoulders! No, no, my son.
Better stay here this time, for your
mother will need you." Asher-Leib's
mother looked on, as though she
would rather like to take part in the
argument. But instead, she nodded
her head, and encouraged the boy to
speak. Asher-Leib looked down, and
then plucked up his courage again.
"Father," he said, II will tell you
why I really want to go. want to
pray for Yankel in front of the Oron-
ha-Kodesh! (The Closet in which the
Scrolls of the Law are kept.) Yam
kel has no relations to do that for
him. His mother must take care of
him-I'm afraid he'll" Asher-Leib
broke off and added with a choking
sound in his throat-"I want him to
live!"
"Oh," said his father, "that's a diff
ferent story. Very well, if mother
can spare you, you may come"
So that is how Asher-Leib found
himself starting out with the men,
just as though he were one of them,
on the road to Nemirov. 1t was
only an hour after dawn. The air
was cool and sweet, the grass was
green from the late rainy weather,
and the road wound off to a forest,
mysterious in the distance. Asher
Leib walked along springily, enjoying
every breath that he drew, even
though he sighed to think that Yankel
could not be with him. In way it
made his health, and the beauty Of
the autumn morning, seem even more
precious to think that Yankel lay
restless and feverish for the last three
days. Asher-Leib knit his brows in
an effort to understand things. Why
should Yankel get sick? He was the
only son of a widowed mother, and
besides, he was such good boy. Why,
his very illness came of his having
been SO good! He had gone week
ago, to sell the little sugar cakes and
candies that his mother made, at a
neighboring market town. A heavy
rainstorm had come on while Yankel

I shall not taste of food today,
Nor think of food at all,
But all the day mean to pray
Although they say Pm small
I mean to pray among the crowd,
That ask forgiveness low or loud.
Last night 7 heard Kol Nidre sung;
The Cantor's voice was deep,
And back and forth the people swung
I think fell asleep;
I dreamed my mother took my hand
And led me through a desert land.
But on the ground were cookies round,
AS white as milk and sweet;
Enough for all the day I found,
I seemed to eat and eat.
Then Mother said: "By this tis known
Man does not live by bread alone"
"Awake, my pet" my Mother said,
When all the prayers were through,

Will grant us pardon, too"
I shall not wish to eat today;
My dream will feed me while I pray.

father, felt his heart droop with dis
appointment and grief. He was not
yet 13, and so could not count as
man. And now he wouldn't be able
to pray before the Oron-ha-K a-Kodesh,
and ask God to spare Yankels life.
He was too tired and heart-sick to
eat And he held down his head un-
til he could force back the tears from
his eyes.
Suddenly, Mott'l the tailor, who
was too restless a soul to keep still
and who had wandered outside of the
hut, was heard to exchange eager
greetings with somebody. A moment
later, a tall, white-bearded stranger
came in, with MottI huddling be-
hind him.
"Sholom Aleichem," said the new
comer "It seems that am very for 7
tunate. I had lost my way, and now
l have fallen in with congregation
of Jews, so that l shall be able to
celebrate the Day of Atonement with
them!"
"'Blessed be he who cometh in the
name of the Lord'," said Asher-Leib's
father. And the stranger was made
very welcome. In fact, so glad were
they of his arrival that they begged
him to honor them by reading the
prayers. The strange man gracefully
accepted.
Then began a Kol Nidre service
that Asher-Leib never forgot. The
old Jew with the white beard sang
the melodies in voice so sweet, and
so tender, he put such deep feeling
into every prayer, that the tiny con-
gregation was spellbound. Asher
Leib forgot to grieve for his friend,
for it seemed to him, as long as the
old man was praying, that everything
would be well with all Israel The
boy gazed and gazed at the shining
eager face, at the eyes, half-closed
in their earnestness, at the white hair
and flowing beard. It seemed to him
that now he understood what was
meant by the Beauty of Holiness"
The evening service was over, and
the men, tired from their hard day,
lay down to rest. The aged stranger
insisted upon watching through the
night.
Asher-Leib slept heavily, but his
dreams were bad. Yankel, he felt,
was still sick, and he had been un-
able to do anything for him. He
followed the service closely and read
all the prayers. He was quite un-
troubled by hunger. In the hours rest
pause before the afternoon service,
he went and seated himself near the
old man, who seemed to be deep in
meditation. The stranger surprised
him by looking up at once, with
smile.
"What is it that distresses you, my
SOM" he asked. Something weighs
on your heart. Tell me, what has
gone wrong. Are you so grieved that
you have not reached the fine Schule
at Nemirov?"
eyes. :. But I will tell you Why
Asher-Leib blurted out. And he told
the story of Yankel's illness. "He
got sick through being good. God
ought to write him in the Book OF
Life, for being so good. And now,
his mother is afraid he'll dieW
