BelltoExtend lines inRural Areas withREA A far-reaching effect in pro­ motion o f further exetnsion of telephone service in rural areas is expected as the result of agree­ ments reached between the Bell Telephone system and the rural electrification administration. It is a step toward bringing telephone service to more farm homes by widespread use o f two recently developed methods - the famishing o f service over the power distribution wires of rural electrification administration co­ operatives and joint use o f pole lines o f telephone companies and the cooperatives so that both electric and telephones wires may be carried on the same poles in many rural areas. Early in 19-15 the Bell system stated its object was to bring the convenience o f the telephone to another million American ru­ ral homes within three to five years after men and equipment became available. Since then more than 500,000 telephones have been added in farm homes, country stores and other rural establish­ ments in areas served by Bell companies throughout the nation. “ As an example o f this growth, in one year, 1946, the Ohio Bell Telephone company increased the number of its rural telephones by 27 per cent and ended the year with nearly 97,000 rural in­ struments in seiwice included in its total of nearly 1,300,000 tele­ phone” said Clark W. Gray, Ohio Bell commercial manager. “ At the end of the first six months of this year the Ohio Bell rural total had passed the 101,- 000 marie.” Power-line carrier telephony, developed by Bell Telephone lab­ oratories, makes it possible to transmit telephone conversations over rural electric distribution wires and in numerous instances may prove to be the most prac­ tical and economical method of bringing telephone service to farm homes which are distant from existing telephone pole lines but close to electric power lines. By means o f specially designed equipment a high-frequency tele­ phone current is made to pass on­ to and along the power line and to leave that line at any selected pole, from which it travels over a pair o f telephone wires to the customer’s telephone. Joint use of. telephone and elec­ tric power lines is not now, but until recently has been generally limited to urban areas. Rural tele­ phone poles formerly were spaced at shorter intervals than rural page Six _______ _ W e Pay $9.00 for HORSES $7.00 for COWS A ccord ing ’ to size and condition Small animals remjoved promptly FARM BUREAU CO-OP ASSN. call collect Xenia 756 Dayton IvEnmore 5742 FARMS FOR SALE AND FARM LOANS We have many good farms, for sale on easy terms.

This development, together with improved construction techniques, has extended the field for rural joint use- . Power-line carrier telephony and joint use o f Anal Tong-span- pole lines are two o f several methods being used to extend telephone service to more farm families. Move than 80 c ( o f all rural,establishments in Bell Teh* phone system areas can now I k served from existing telephone pole lines without any construc­ tion charges to the customer. Over many routes extension o f existing lines, by new pole line construction is still the most practical method for serving addi­ tional customers. In 1946 the Bell companies placed more than 300,- 000 new poles in rural areas, enough to cross the continent six times, and strung about 130,000 miles of rural wire. In certain areas where soil conditions are favorable buried wire is being used. The Bell sys­ tem is also experimenting with- telephone-line carrier, which, in somewhat the same way as power line carrier, provides several talk­ ing channels over a single rural telephone lines. High-frequency radio is also being tried out suc­ cessfully as a means o f reachi/ng remote and otherwise inaccess­ ible farm and ranch locations. "As the result o f the telephone industry’s effort jmd despite the fact that war needs for telephone equipment had to come first dur­ ing nearly four years o f conflict, the proportion of American farms with telephones has already risen from 25 per cent to an estimated 40 percent at the present time.” Watch Repairing Harry H.
