Weather reports by telephone to aid Southern farmers
The Weather Bureau and South Belt Telephone Company arrange for more than 25 000 farmers to receive daily weather reports by telephone. Reports will be read to farmers via Bell system lines, with a general alarm signaling gathering time. If a farmer cannot hear the signal, he may call the operator for the information. This marks a first comprehensive, cost free rural weather service. The South benefits from widespread telephone adoption, and such dissemination shows the farm use of telephone technology.
