(U.R) Two J oo-encies of the federal govern- j ment are studving proposals tht would provide increased and more, suitable radio service to the na tion's rural listeners.' The federal communications "ommi,'ion is considering a rec ommendation that radio stations j Serving rural areas be given great-: er transmitting' power in order toj Teach-a larger audience and pro-, fid clearer reception. j ' The Department of Agriculture ! in a report to the FCC said radU stations broadcasting td rural an-. diences ! should take into con-! eideration the ""likes and dislike'! ( of farmers in planning their daily! Trorrams. ' ' ' 5 "i j ' Both ; agencies were ' In 'agree j ment that there are large areas withih the' country which' are 'ndtj wceivipT an adeonate mimber of : rndio signals nor prop-rams suit able to the particular interests' of he rural aud'ence." A recommendation that tbp VCO "Consider ways to improve" rtrrfl radio service was made bv 'Edward A. O'Neal, president of' the Amer ican Farm Bnreati ' federation. ' "The "nation's -farmerR." 0'Nel told" the FCC "pr8tsblv-more thn npv other1 lare froup are denpnrt t. iiTon Tadio for news havin" t""tl bearim? uoon thHr busine.s:" However, he said, farmers "wi. rallv are of the opinion that the reoPle in the large centers of pop ulation have had the favored Treatment with respect to radio eervice.

SOENNICHSEWS O'Neal said that the nation's farmers also opposed plans to de crease the number of clear chan nel or long-wave radio stations, "the ones which are most appre ciated bv the farm audience." ' The' Department of Agriculture in its report to the FCC said rural broadcasters would be wise to in clude in their programs to farm audiences the following type broadcasts: News broadcasts; old-time fid dlers, sins-ers and string bands: farm market reports: religious music and sermons: talks on farm ing and farm problems; quiz pro grams; discussions of current events and speeches by important officials and entertainment pro grams such as comedians and pop ular singers. Basing its recommendations on a, survey . of rural listening habits and selections, . the department said only a small percentage of farm listeners care 1 .. for "soap operas," classical ' music, brass bands or dramatic plays. The report also said that rural women listen to their radios more than rural men, that young wom en listen more than older ones and that reading a daily newspa per has no influence on radio listening. " The C'Neal and Department of Agriculture reports are two of a large number that have been pre sented to the- FCC regarding ra dio service to rural ; listeners. Similar suggestions were included in many of the others. Study by the commission of the reports is expected to require sev eral months after which it will announce what action it plans to take to assure farmers of in creased and improved radio serv ice. .. .
