PORTS VIA RADIO USEFUL

The importance Of radio in the pro-
duction and marketing of agricultural
products is brought out in a special
survey of about 1900 representative
farmers just completed by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
More than fifty per cent of the 1900
farmers replying reported that they
owned tube sets employing three or
more tubes, while approximately fifty
per cent of the farmers reporting have
home made sets ranging from simple
crystal detectors to tube sets.
More than rs different makes Of
sets We're found among the manufac-
tured sets purchased, altho the bulk
of the sets were confined to about Is
of the leading makes that are more or
less widely advertised in radio and
general magazines. The average cost
of the manufactured sets was Sl72.
Comparatively few of the owners of
home made sets operate crystal re-
ceivers, the survey revaled. The aver
age cost of the crystal sets was s11.
The average cost of the home made
tube sets was SS3.
Eighty per cent of these farmers

survey was made in practically every
state in the union, the most numerous
reports coming from Illinois, Texas,
Kansas, Ohio, New York, Mississippi
and Indiana.
