beginning today, July 1st.
The dailv weather reports7 will be
furnished the ' telephone company bv
the weather bureau! and the report
wiif be read to the 'farmers by tele-
phone operators. At a given hour
eaeh dav a sreneral alarm will be
sounded, calling every farmer to the

farmer who is not able to answer the

privilege of calling the operator and
securing the information.
. Almost every farmer's telephone
Hn6 connected with tJhe. Bell system
has six or more subscribers, and by
reading the report to each line the
work can be speedily accomplished.
'This ic the first rfnTmvrp.hensivA -and
systematic effort to furnish this infor

of ithe South. The spread of the tele

dissemination of weather news by

the water board request that all pro

there is no immediate cause for alarm
