Notables Talk Phonograph Use at Ohio Institutes
Ohio Agricultural Board Secretary Sandles has secured pledges from Secretary Bryan, Secretary Houston, and Senator Pomereue to deliver phonograph addresses to Ohio farmers during winter. Bryan will push to have President Wilson broadcast the chief executive's voice on agricultural topics via wax cylinders. The plan aims to boost interest in farmers institutes where phonographs and moving pictures play key roles. The corn growing contest in Ohio is billed as the largest of its kind, with about 1,000 champion growers expected to travel to Washington next December, and 200 to 300 girls might join, plus other domestic science contestants. Over $40,000 has been subscribed to the effort. Illinois is considering a similar Washington excursion, and Sandles suggested both states join for a combined trip, though no action has been taken.
