Mar 4-The farmer fol-
lowing his furrow need be no
more than 80 minutes behind his city
brother in receiving news of the fact
ors which determine prices Of argi-
cultural products, Robert McDougal,
president OF the Chicago Board OF
Trade, said tonight I'm outlining the
boards plans to broadcast crop mark
ct reports by radio beginning Mon
dav
The radio system, which will cover
O. territory within a radius OF 500
miles OF Chicago, was characterized
by President McDougaI as ''tEe great
est forward step in 1000 years" in
bringing the farmer in contact with
fhe factors that make the price OF his
9product.
President McDougals statement
follows in part
",rhe telephone and the automobile
moved the farmer closer to the cities.
The farms VIII be brought still closer
by our radio telephone service. 1t
IS. our belief that our half hour bulle-
tins giving not only quotations but
fundamental news OF the crop and
market situation throughout the
world, will enable the grain growers
to buy or sell as confidently and all
most as quickly as IL he were in
Chicago.
"The radio system win cover the
territory within a. radius of 500 miles
OF this city. In this area, there are,
/ am informed. thousands of radio
sets in villages and ON farms. Even
farmers where there is not appartus
there are telephones. and the nearby
village will have the radio reports.
Il believe that country grain ele-
vators which are scattered every
where will serve as stations for our
reports, being distributed by them
still further by telephones to such
farms as have not their own radios"
