These stations, which are broadcasting farm and home programs, are so situated that every listener in the state can receive these daily educational broad¬ casts . "In some of these programs you will hear directly the voices of specialists, teachers and investigators from colleges and educational institutions; or the voices of county agricultural agents, home demonstration agents and 4-H club leaders In other programs a member of each station’s staff who specializes in broadcasting farm programs, presents the daily messages. "The New York State College of Agriculture furnishes daily programs to twenty-four stations which have assigned special broadcasters to handle educational agricultural announcements • "About one hundred twenty-five talks are broadcast each month during the daily noon farm program from the University station WESG at Ithaca. Also members of the colleg' staff speak on other stations as circumstances require. For the program on WGY at Schenectady, the college furnishes a speaker each Monday noon."
