, The farmer must make his hay while
the sun shines.
There are many uses of radio broad
casting in connection with the securing
of labor in time of scarcity; in coping
with epidemics among farm animals;
in battling against insect pests; in fur
thering the mission of farmers or
ganizations; and in developing better
methods of farming. In rush seasons
broadcasting may we'll call attention
to the availability of labor supply. 1t
may contribute to the fluidity of such
supply by enabling one region to draw
on the labor surplus of another.
XXX X THE cultural and spiritual
possibilities of radio can not be meas
ured by comparison with any other
agency. 1t can bring to country
schools in remote districts the lectures,
the music, the addresses of prominent
men and specialists in every field, as
well as the educational methods of
the metropolis. 1t means instruction
for the pupils and professional stimu-
lation for the teachers. Radio draws

xxx x For youth and age alike,
radio entertainment is always avail
able. After the days work, when the
supper dishes are cleared away. the
farmer and his family can gather
around the open fire in winter and lis
ten to the music of Grand Opers, con-
scious the while that the voice of the

fore it is heard in the Diamond Horse

radio as compared with the speed of

believe that radio has greater ap-
plication to the farm and to farm life
than to any other phase of our ma
tional life. The urban citizen was the
earliest to benefit from this invention,
but the farmer will ultimately derive
from it the greatest real profit and
enjoyment. No other invention since
the steam locomotive is destined to
have such widespread influence upon
rural life, because no other has car
ried so much comfort, enjoyment and
potential prosperity to the farm.
OF all that may be said of radio in
it's various relations, the. best is that
it will tend to keep the young people
on the farm. There is the true indie
pendence; there is the real throne of
the American sovereign. Entertain
ment and culture, and the throbbing
life of the metropolis, carried to the
farm by radio. helping to make rural
life more attractive and desirable
will sustain that class which is ours
as in all other free countries. is the
very backbone of our national exist
ence."
