GROWTH There are nearly 1,000,000 radio sets on farms in the United States, Department o f Agriculture esti mates, in a report on growth o f farm radio during the past five years. In some states, the Department says, there are radio sets on 25 to40 per cent o f all farms. Estimates made by the Department in 1923 showed 145,000 sets in use on farms at that time; 365,000 sets in 1924, and 553,000 sets in 1925. Increased power and broadcasting, together with better receiving sets, the department believes, “ will do much to aid in establishing perman ency o f use o f radio fo r benefit of agriculture. “ One station alone in a period of three months broadcasting from farmers, country banks, shippers o f live stork, and small merchants in tow-ns in twelve agricultural states surrounding station.” F. « Learn About These Travel Extras A t no additional tare, get extra advantages when yoo travel.
