USE BARBED WIRE
FOR H PHONE
FARMERS OF HODGES COUNTRY
HAVE UNIQUE SYSTEM OF
COMMUNICATION
Switchboard Connections With go
Rural Homes, Served by Phone
Using Barbed Wire of Fences; An
inexpensive Service.

With the use of approximately
300 miles of barbed wire, a COM
plete telephone system with
switchboard connections connect
ing so telephones and an oppor-
tunity given for the enjoyment of
radio concerts, the social side of
rural community life will be de-
ve1oped in an interesting way in
the vicinity of Hodges, Mont, ac-
cording to III. E. Murphy, who lives
in Wibaux county.
The barbed wire telephone sys-
tenn was started first about Is years
ago, says Mr.. Murphy, and has grown
steadily since. The service is run
over barbed wire and the only tele-
phone poles used are erected over
railroad crossings and gateways
where the wires had to be elevated
over the tracks and the fences.
Installation of the service has been
the least expensive possible, the only
cost being the buying of telephones
at from IS to SIS each and a contri-
button of rs cents from each mem
Der for the purchase of the switch
board, about 80 families being ac-
commodated. The road crossings
and gates we're constructed of native
material, without any expense. There
Is no insulation between wires and
posts, but from Hodges where the
switchboard is installed, the lines
radiate to the various ranch and
houses and the system gives ex-
service, according to Mr.. Muir
,hy.
This system is also being used by
is members to enjoy radio concerts
through a radio receiving set which
las been installed in the home of
Ians Linen, who tunes in on concerts
nd then calls the neighbors, sets the
oud speaker before the ~transmitter !,
his own telephone and shares the
njoyment of the occasion. Enter

In 1916 Uncle Sam gave him 100

manual labor involved in farming
and he permitted the land to be sold
for the taxes. Then came the Civil
war and at the age of 80. Gass tried
to enlist once more but of course
was too old. The fact that he had

ACREAGE IN
DANIELS DOUBLES

Beginning a tour which will take
him to many of the good corn sec
tions of the state, Tolley Hartwick
held four successful meetings in
Daniels county. At every meeting
intense interest in corn production
was shown by the farmers present,
and the questions asked relative to
corn production shows a very keen
interest in this branch of agriculture
in Daniels county.
The corn acreage in Daniels coun-
ty more than doubled in the last year
and a similar increase is expected in
the coming year. Farmers are
awakening to the possibility of corn
as a mean of stabilizing their farm
income and T taking great interest
in such meetings as Mr.. Hartwick's
as a means of becoming more famil-
lar with the successful practices in
other parts of the state.
Shows Preference for Flint
Mr.. Hartwick's explanation of the
value of sucker in production of corn
in short season localities was espe-
cially interesting and following the
meeting a number of farmers ex-
pressed themselves in favor of limit
Ing their production to flint corn in
the future. The charts Mr.. Hart
wick used to illustrate the machinery
he uses in handling low growing
corn proved to be of great interest

ent and it is expected that many will

One of the outstanding features of

DOT shovel, used on many corn Gull
ivators throughout the state, has
