PHOTOGRAPHS SENT
BY WIRE, CLEVELAND
TO new YORK CITY

New York. May 19-Transmissio
of Photographs from Cleveland to
New York City over Long distance
telephone lines was accomplished to-
day in demonstration by laboratory
experts Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
The method, achieved after several
years work, was described by off,
Gals Of the company as q simple,
rapid and accurate picture transmit
ting system" It will be installed on
the company's various long distance
lines. it was announced, in accord
ance with the demand which arises
for this type Of service.
Cleveland was selected as the place
for the transmitting station so that
pictures taken at the Republican ma
tional convention might be transmit
ted to New York within a few min
utes. Actual transmiSsions-today
showed that photographs could be
transmitted to New York and made
ready for producing newspaper
plates within ten minutes from the
time the original photograph was
placed on the transmitting machine.
A photograph Of group of news
paper men taken in Cleveland Lab
oratory today was transmitted to
New York in four and one half min
utes, excluding the time required in
developing the original in Cleveland
and the few minutes required in de-
veloping the print in New York.
The pictures transmitted today
were five inches by seven inches in
size. Messages in handwriting also
were transmitted. the copy received
being a facsimile of the original
message.
In sending picture, the original
is placed around a cylinder within
which there is a photo-electric cell
On another cylinder in the receiving
office an unused film is placed. Both
cylinders revolve in synchronization
During the operation a very small
but intense beam of light is thrown
on the original photograph, passing
through the film to the photo electric
cell with an intensity proportionate
to the lights and shadows of the
original picture. BY the aid of a new
device known as n light wave, a beam
of light, varying in intensity in exact
correspondence with the original
beam received by the photo electric
cell, is thrown on the film onto which
the picture is being transmitted. AS
the receiving cylinder revolves, the
ray of light moves gradually from
end of the cylinder to the other.
When the end is reached, the film is
ready for development.
officials of the telephone company
said the method could not be used
on cables, because it is necessary to
amplify at various stations the cur
rent used in transmitting the photo
graphs. Tests have demonstrated, 1t
was announced, that photographs can
be transmitted by radio by the same
method when atmospheric conditions
are favorable.
The method was worked out by
the telephone company experts in
cooperation with laboratory experts
of the Western Electric Company.

ty-six included boys and girls club

Farm Accounting
A large number of bankers are REQ
ognizing the Importance of inven
| tories, financial statements and farm
accounts and are encouraging the
keeping OF records among their farmer
patrons. Not few insist on finan'
cial statement from the farmer before
making loan. just as is required OF
other business men. Such a statement
not OILY acquaints the banker with
the financial status of the farmer but
also brings the farmer face to face
with conditions on his farm and calls
attention to opportunities for improve
ment.
In many states county bankers asso-
Citations are being organized with
agricultural committees In New Jer.
sey every county is thus organized.
Ohio has representative of the agri-
cultural committee in every county in
the state. Wisconsin has added thir-
teen agricultural committees to its
county organizations. In Arkansas
educational trains have been run in CO.
operation with the railroads, the Col
lege OF Agriculture, and others for
stimulating interests in better farm
ing methods. In Oregon the Bankers
Association employs a field secretary
to devote his entire time to carrying
on educational and agricultural pro-
grams. In Kentucky special plans
have been developed for coordinating
the various organizations interested
in agricultural development. Key men,
bankers. have been appointed in sixty
five counties. An annual income of
$4,000 is provided and field secretary
employed.
1t will be seen that the efforts of
the Agricultural Commission and the
committees of the various states, in
cooperation with the colleges of agri
culture, have been to formulate work
able programs. The field for work
appears unlimited. The spirit of the
bankers and the colleges is superb and
effective results will be accom- plished.
The Glenwood post., 1924-12-11

IN definite programs, but they have
been the means of greatly increasing
interest on the part of bankers. AT
the beginning there were number
OF states that had no agricultural
committees. Others were inactive.
We now have agricultural committees
for each state with the exception of
two. and these have promised to ap-
point committees soon.
Banker Influence
The attitude Of the bankers is not
that Of attempting to tell the farmers
how to farm, but rather to aid in
bringing about conditions that will
help the farmer to help himself The
farmer who produces. the agricultural
college that is attempting to improve
the quality of farm products, and the
banker who furnishes the capital are
endeavoring to put their heads to-
gether and perform team work A
representative Of one of the colleges
of agriculture recently made the state
ment that the bankers could do more
than the colleges for the advancement
of agriculture. The banker is in posi-
tion to influence the type OF agricul-
ture practiced by the farmer patrons
A county agent comes in contact with
only Is to 20 per cent of the farmers
of his county, while the bankers come
in contact with at least rs per cent.
In some localities farmers seem to
be prejudiced against bankers, duo
largely to Misunderstanding There
is no better way for relieving this
strained relationship than by getting
the banker and farmer pulling togeth-
er for their mutual interests and for
the community.
If agriculture is to develop it is nee.
essary to maintain on the soil men and
women who will put as much intelli-
gence into their business as is put into
other lines of business. 1t is hard to
change the attitude of mind of an old
farmer. The great hope is in devel-
oping boys and girls into men and
women who will be interested in i'm
proving the conditions on our farms.

at the banker-farmer conferences, thir-
