DEPEND
ON RADIO REPORTS

DENVER, Colo.- Heavy mail re-
ceipts from agricultural areas Of the
Middle West and Rocky Mountain
territory show conclusively, it is
said, that farmers are attaching more
Importance and dependence than ever
to radio.
Hundreds of testimonials to KOA,
General Electric broadcasting station
reveal, it is pointed out, that greater
profits said to be due to radio are
frequently made possible because
market and livestock reports are
heard sufficiently in advance Of price
increases. Letters also indicate that
weather forecasts and warnings are
proving Of material assistance to cat
tlemen and ranchers.
Of striking interest in rural dis
tricts, is the question box for farm
ers which is billed at the Denver
broadcasting station every Tuesday
evening. This ethereal attraction, il
is said, is the means of disseminate
ing technical information concerning
crops, gardening, poultry, stock-rais-
ing and kindred agricultural topics
It is conducted by George G. Wheeler
managing editor of Western Farm
Life.
