    Notes:
    Via ProQuest Historical Newspapers. 1 page., Surveys by county agents suggest that numbers of farms equipped with radios in the U.S. grew from 145,000 in 1923 to 365,000 in 1924 to 550,000 in 1925. Farmers were found to tune in not so much for grand opera or baseball or political speecheds as for weather and market reports.
