THE RADIO ON THE FARM
Montana Farmer)

7
Up in Roosevelt county 80 farmers have purchased
radio sets, according to County Agent Dan Noble, and are
tuning in on the world every evening after the chores are
done. From all sections of the state word comes OF a Keen
interest in radio among the farm homes. Farmers are find
inc radio of practical value in keeping up to the minute
on market and weather reports. 1t is worth a lot to the
stOckman to know of the coming cold wave hours before It
hits his ranch. And what a satisfaction 1t is to sit down
near the stove on a cold winter evening and listen on a
musical or recreation program, or a church service, thOus-
ands of miles away. Sometimes you can even hear the
coins drop in the collection plate.
Radio is opening up a whole new world to the farm fam
lily. It's possibilities for recreation, education and practical
service to the farmers of the nation are incalculable.
One of those occasionally interesting or edifying filler"
paragraphs in an exchange bears the Information; "A ma
ture turtle egg is about the size of a golf ball and may be
dropped from a considerable height without breaking"
Matureness may be a virtue in turtle eggs but is never list
ed with the good qualities the common, nicke-a-piece egg
of commerce. AS for comparing stunts, an ancient turtle
egg, after years of practice, may be able to fall without
breaking but a young golf ball just out of the shell can not
only fall from any height with impunity but can crawl
under a sage bush and hide.
A weather story from over in the chilly section Of the
Rockies says it was "a below at Madison dam, and 30 be-
low at Hotter dam, and "a below at Rainbow and Volta
dams. Anyone after a glance at the report could tell how
cold it was over there without expressing it in degrees.

referred to his having received an "lntermed1ate" SEN
