Evans, cited reference, The Canadian listening group project, the Farm Radio Forum, was the subject of great praise in its 25 year history before its demise in April, 1965. The project was established in 1940 because of converging influences through a working agreement between three organizations-the Canadian Association for Adult Education, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. The author has attempted through analysis of correspondence, interviews, and available literature to account for the decline of the project. Three tentative conclusions are : 1. as the sponsoring institutions matured their concerns diverged more and more, 2. a fully-working field structure for organizing and maintaining the listening groups was never established, 3. the groups never become integrated into the Canadian national system of institutions or its power structure.
