country and city in terms of spiritual
as well as material values, no single
factor has played SO important a part
as radio.
1t has been estimated that there are
now in use 100000 radio receiving
sets which serve between 30,OO0,OO0
and 60,000,00O listeners. Just what
percentage of these 100000 sets
are in farm homes is unknown, but
survey made two or three years
ago showed that one of every five
farm homes in the United States has
a radio set. Considering the amazing
growth of the radio industry, which
has increased by leaps and bounds ev-
cry year, it is reasonable to suppose
that that ratio has held its own, if
not actually increased, so that it
would not be bad guess to assert
that one in every four, or perhaps
even one in every three farm homes.
now has a radio set.
The results of the survey referred
to, made by the National Farm Radio
council, revealed some interesting
facts in regard to the importance of
the radio to the farmer. Its i'm
pOrtance in changing the marketing
methods of entire groups of farmers
was reflected in reports from 43
states. More than 46 per cent of the
replies to the QUESTIONABLE sent out
gave specific examples of cash saw
ings effected by the use of radio and
practically every report indicated the
Importance and value to the farmer
of having market reports from "a to
4S hours earlier than they are OBJ
tainable through any other source or
medium.
Typical of hundreds of reports of
the farmers use of radio in market
ing is this one from a farmer living
near Keytesville, Mo-: "Radio report
ed hogs due to drop in two days.
Shipped at once. Saved $3.50. In
same week put off haying because Of
storm warning. This prevented heavy
loss of hay"
In conducting this nationwide radio
survey the National Farm Radio
council gathered and tabulated 1850
individual expressions. The survey
was conducted by the council in CO.
operation with 10 farm publications,
$50 county agents. 200 boys and girls
club leaders, 80 home demonstration
agents, the National Grange, the
American Farm Bureau federation,
several hundred teachers of vocation
al agriculture, deans of 81 colleges
and several radio stations.
Ninety-fve per cent of farmer radio
owners, the council said, think of
| their radios as utility as well as
an amusement device. They think of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-04-19

it as a utility because it brings to
them market reports from "a to 4S
hours earlier than Obtainable in any
other way. These enable the farmer
to market his produce to the great
est advantage.
1t is, however, as an amusement,
rather than a utility device, that the
radio is playing an important role
in satisfying the desire of the farm
youth for entertainment and helping
to answer the question of How're
you going to keep EN-" etc. Thanks
to radio, the farm boy today sits in
the great national sporting events.
He attends, by proxy, the worlds
series games, the great gridiron clas-
sizes, national championship bouts of
all sorts. He thrills at a reception
to Lindbergh, at an address by the
President from Washington. He not
only knows what is happening when
it happens, but he is enabled to feel
real sense of participation in the
event.
The voices of grand opera stars,
~
the masterpieces of music, both vocal
tunes or vaudeville jokes are as ia
miliar to the farm family today as
they are to city folks. Farm life, in
deed, has entered a new era of COM
fort, convenience and satisfaction.
For in a very true sense, and to a
60 fI,ny, he
ment's census figures yet show, the
city is moving to the country. That
is, the factors that made the city at
tractive are rapidly becoming equally
available on the farms. And in this
evolution radio is playing major
role.
This is due to greater extent in
America than elsewhere by reason Of
the lines along which our radio
broadcasting has developed. Through
the association of stations into ma
tion-wide network it is possible to
give radio listeners, throughout the
country, the very finest programs that
talent and ingenuity can produce.
Without the cooperation of these
stations, remote parts of the country
would still be denied the pleasure of
hearing many of our finest artists,
since these artists for the most part
are still city-minded and congregate
in those centers of population where
rich concert and theatrical contracts
are to be found.
But while the artist stays in the
city, his voice and his artistry are
broadcast, by radio, to every corner
of the land. So are the latest news
and the views of informed men. Radio,
in a very definite way, has carried
the city to the farm.

asked: How're you goin' to keep

figures themselves prove it most con-
clusiyely"

versity of Arkansas team set seven
new Southwest conference basket ball
records. They are as follows:
Winning a fourth consecutive South

suit of 60 field goals and SO free
throws. Pickell's total was made in
II games.
The highest total of conference field
goals made in single heason-Tom
Pickells 60 baskets.
The highest total number of points
made in a single conference game,
namely II points scored against Bay
Tor university, on January 10. The
Razorbacks also broke the previous
conference record by amassing &C
points in game with Texas Christian
at Fort Worth on January 9. The
record up to that time was 80 points,
made by Arkansas against both Texas
and Baylor last year. :

backs piled up total of 566 points
against their conference opponents in
- games. an average of Al points per
game.

Advice

Advice must not fall like violent
storm, bearing down and making
those to droop whom it is meant to
cherish and refresh. 1t must descend
as the dew upon the tender herb, or
like melting flakes of snow; the softer
it falls, the longer it dwells upon and
the deeper it sinks into the mind. If
there are few who have the humility
to receive advice as they ought. it is
often because there are few who have

more accurate cOncep-
tiOn of real farm life than the aver
age resident of New YOrk's famous
Tin Pan Alley" his song did reflect
certain condition in our national
life which has been causing concern
for a number of years. That is the
steady drift of population from the
rural sections to urban centers and
economists have been painting dark
pictures of what will result if this
movement from the farm to the city
is not checked.
a somewhat brighter picture, how
ever, has recently been painted by
man whose position puts him IN close
touch with conditions throughout the
country. He is Merlin II. Aylesworth,
president of the National Broadcast
ing company, one Of the two big sys-
tens which is providing daily enter
tainment and instruction for millions
of Americans, and in view of the i'm
pOrtance of the farm-tO-city migra-
ton problem. there is considerable
significance tO'the statement which he
makes. He says:
The old refrain-"How're you goin'
to keep 'em down on the farm?"-was
written before the advent of radio.
For, even a decade ago, the cities
then as now the centers of education

that contribute to the satisfaction and
enjoyment of life-kept their favors

is changed. The best that the city has
in music and the drama, in art and
literature, in entertainment and infor-
nation, is available to the farm fam
lily as quickly and as fully as it is to
the city dweller. The greatest opera
and concert stars, the jaZziest jazz
artists, the stars of the vaudeville and
statecraft all speak or sing or per-
form for the resident of the farm or
the country village as directly as they
do for their metropolitan audiences.
One result of this is noted in recent
census statistics covering the shift in
population, as between cities and
farms. Since the advent of radio 1T is
noted that not only has the movement
of population from the country to the
cities been checked, but that a counter
farms is gaining impetus. In 1927, for
instance, $4,000 persons moved from
our cities to the country. In the same
year the drift from farm to city was
reduced by about 100000 as compared
with 1929 and 1925.
But this, in my judgment. is only a
beginning. What radio has done in the
past toward relieving the isolation and
monotony of farm life is only an index
of greater things to be done in the fu-
ture.
Improved conditions of life on the
farm are not, of course, due to radio
alone. Automobiles, telephones and, to
a very large and an increasing degree
the extension of electric facilities into
agricultural territory, have each played
important parts. They have provided
the farm dweller with comforts and
conveniences equal to those enjoyed in
the city and have definitely improved
