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
