6y the Associated PfeS2.
Bringing the same information and
entertainment TO farm and city dweller
alike, radio has won recognition as
powerful factor in spanning the gulf
which divided the farmer and the
townsman
Broadcasting has been very effective
in promoting better understanding and
cooperation between the city and the
country on questions of political ana
economic interest, says o. M. Kile,
agricultural economist.
Radio Links Two Areas.
ut has been a lamsntable fact that
the city has had a poor understanding
of the country and the country poor
understanding of the CITY," Mr. Kile
said. This has led to many compli-
cations in legislative way and other
wise which, think, the radio has been
quite instrumental in Strengthening out
One of the reasons for this is that
agricultural speakers have tried to
present their views in broad way,
with the result that the city listeners
cannot help hearing interesting facts
about farm life and its problems. on
the other hand, the viewpoints of the
city are presented In an Intimate way
by the radio to the people of the
country.
Edgar L. Bill, director of WIS. Chi
cago, says that radio is so important
to the farmer that agriculture should
have. not only one clear channel, bur
possibly a dozen clear channels, to
carry on the necessary work in that
field"
City Enjoys Farm Programs.
Old folk songs and barn dance music
broadcast by WIS primarily for its
rural audience have been very popular
with city listeners, Mr.. Bill says. II
have thought that perhaps we ought
to soft pedal these barn dances be-
cause we might be getting in wrong
with the commission or the public, but
the people want them and we can't
abandon them" he said.
city people enjoy them as well as
farm listeners. On the frst four Sat-
urday nights of the year that We played
the barn dances we received 800 tele-
grams each night. They came from
