Farm Phone
Service Shows
Improvement
Figures released last week by
the Crop Reporting Board show
that farmers paid an average of
$3 66 a month for local telephone
service in July 1956 While this
is six per cent more than they
paid a year earlier, the survey on
which the figures are based
shows that there has been a
continued and rapid improve
ment in the class of phone ser
vice received by farmers.
For example, about 55 per cent
of the farm had dial service on
July 1, 1956, compared with 51
per cent in July 1955 and 45 per
cent in 1954.

“In the summer, the black
cloth is put on the plants at
about 530 p. m to shoi ten the
day ”
The temperature in the green
house is kept at about 60 degrees
during the winter. ,
Lefever markets about 25 to
30,000 dozen mums a year to the
Pittsburg and local markets.
When asked about the effect of
weather on'the glass growing
houses, he said that since 1922
he has lost only about 100 pangs
of glass
About a third of these were
lost in one hail storm when hail
stones of about 11,2I 1 ,2 inches n
diameter fell.
Lefever says that by keepn
the houses closed tight duru
high winds, damage to the housi
can be kept to a minimum.
