WAS THE TELEPHONE
INVENTED IN CANADA OR
IN THE UNITED STATES ?
The 20th Century Fox filth "The
Life of Alexander Graham Bell" has
once again 'brought to the fore the
question of whether 'the telephone
was invented in Canada (Brantford)
or the United States_(Boston).
On 'October 24,-'119117, the Duke of
Devonshire, then Governor-General
of Canada, unveiled a monument at
Brantford, Ontario, which 'bears the
inscription: °'To -commemorate the
invention of the telephone by Alex-
ander Graham Bell, in i2rantford .in
1894." In 'the previous year, on March
110, 1119016, at 109 Court Street, Boston,
Mass., a tablet was unveiled which
was incribed as follows: "Here the
telephone eves born, 'Janie 2, 005."
There does not .appear to be any
evidence 'to disprove the following
facts:
fit lOn July 26, 11974, at Brantford,
Ontario, Alexander Graham Bell ex-
pressed for the •first+time .his theory ' of
a telephone. Speaking 'to this father ,lie
explained in detail, and iliustnated
with diagrams, his plans for the elec-
trical transmission of speech.
2, On ijune 2, 15715, at Boston,
Mass., Bell working with 'his assist-
ant Thomas A. 'Watson completed
the 'construction of an apparatus
which ,proved the theory first ex-
pressed at Brantford that it was pos-
sible to 'talk over a wire.
The following is an extract from a
letter which Bell wrote to W. F.
Cockshutt, of Brantford, on March
116, 11904: "It so happens .that the tele-
phone was invented in Canada, at
Tutelo Heights, during any visit to
my father ,and mother in 1874; h;ut.
•the first telephone was made in Bos-
ton in 1575', and all the early experi-
ments were mode there up to ,bhe time
of the Centennial Exposition in Phila-
delphia. Thus the telephone was con-
ceived 'fn ,B'rantford, reduced to .prac-
tice '(made practical) in Boston, and
became !known to the 'world at the
Centennial Exposition in Phila-
delphia."
Addressing the 'Brantford Board of
Trade at a dinner'hetd March 9, 19016,
the telephone inventor said "I can af-
firm to you gentlemen that °tire incep-
tion of k ,(the telephone) was in
Brantford."
Speaking to the Canadian Club at
Ottawa on March 07, '11909, ,before a
disting.uishe.d audience that 'filled to
capacity the large dining room of the
Grand Union so that the smaller
rooms ,had to :be used, the inventor
said en part: "It is rather curious 'to
Inc to see' the 'dispute about where the
telephone was iiiven'ted. T have not
any doubt about it. 'Lt was I who in-
vented the telephone and it was where

I happened to he at the time. It so
happened that I resided in Salem,
\dans., and carried on work in Bos-
ton,. and 'then I would come up to my
father's home in Canada to spend a
large portion of my time. I carried
my instruments with me, (but of this
you may 'be sure, the telephone was
invented in Canada. I't was made in
the 'United States. The first trans-
mission of a human voice over a tele-
graph \vire, where the speaker and
listener were smiles apart, was in Can-
ada .Brantford to Paris a distence of
S miles). Rut the •transtnission was
only one was—you 0001101 not talk
back; you had to 'telegraph back. The
first ,transmission 'by wire in which
conversation eras carried on recipro-
cally•oeer the same line was in the
United States, but 1 was there all the
time and it certainly is the ,ease that
the •telephone was invented in Canada
and the first actual ose of telephone
lines was in this country."
When the monument to Bell and
Ins invention at Brantford was un-
veiled br the Duke of Devonshire,
the great inventor at the cloee of his
address said; "I wish 10 say, on be-
half of the Bell 'Telephone 'Memorial
.Association that I have great pleasure
in presenting to His .Eecellency a sit-
ter telephone, and 1 'hope that in
using it be will remember that the
telephone originated in Brantford and
that the first transmission to a dist-
ance was nude between Brantford
and Paris,"

chronology in Alexander Graham
Bell's own 'handwriting appear. in
Catherine Mackenzie's honks "Alex-
ander Graham ,Bell" which was 'pub-
lished in .11928 by Houghton, Mifflin

. There are many more statements
similar to the 'foregoing embodied in
various. other of Bell's public ad-
dresses,
The - question of where and when
the telephone was invented would
seem to 'be 'determined .by one's inter-
pretation of the word "invention."
The inventor said the 'telephone was
invented in Canada and the fust tele-
phone was made in the !United States.
Claimants that the telephone was in-
vented in the (United States maintain
that the actualreduction to p ractice
constitutes the invention.
If invention be thought of as a
process made up of both conception
and reduction to practice, and if
neither of these steps be stressed at
the expense of or to the exclusion eef
the other, it will become apparent
that both Canada and the 'United
States have made contributions of
unique importance d0 the. invention
and early development of the tele-
phone. Canada and the United States,
each in its own way, cnnaribute•1
jointly to Bell's great achievement.
To each, in its ,proper measure, and
without detracting trout the el -taints
of the other, must be given a part trf
the credit which they jointly share.
Profitable Farming
Demands Clean Seed
\V'liat is good tillage? First—to _
plough thoroughly; secondly — to
plough, and thirdly—to manure. The
other .part of .tillage is to have good
seed. t0 sow plentifully, and to take
trp alt the Creeds which may grow
during the season.
This is a time of year when -atten-
tion is being given to seed supplies. If
growers are using their ,iovn seed ,t
is important to have it well dcane i
and graded, to remove small, shrunk-
en, immature or broken kernels, inert
matter and weed seeds. It is not too
early to bring the fauniug alit' .501
from its winter quarters, make (10C-es-
sary repairs to the mill and screens,
and continence cleaning operations.
It is well not to hurry the cleaning of
seed. The seed should be fed evenly
and slowly into the mill and cleaned
a second or third time if necessary.
Those farmers are fortunate who
have a modern power seed cleaning
plant of their own, or one in the
community which rcan be used for the
preparation of their seed for sowing
or for the market.
The Plant Products Division, Pro-
duction Service, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, advises that if it
is necessary to •buy seed supp•lids it is
well .to he sure they are graded and
marked in accordance with .the provi-
sions of the Seeds Act and regula-
tions Information with regard to
seeds, plant diseases, insect pests and
weeds niay be obtained. from the Do-
minion Department 'of Agriculture,

. There are many more statements
similar to the 'foregoing embodied in
various. other of Bell's public ad-
dresses,
The - question of where and when
the telephone was invented would
seem to 'be 'determined .by one's inter-
pretation of the word "invention."
The inventor said the 'telephone was
invented in Canada and the fust tele-
phone was made in the !United States.
Claimants that the telephone was in-
vented in the (United States maintain
that the actualreduction to p ractice
constitutes the invention.
If invention be thought of as a
process made up of both conception
and reduction to practice, and if
neither of these steps be stressed at
the expense of or to the exclusion eef
the other, it will become apparent
that both Canada and the 'United
States have made contributions of
unique importance d0 the. invention
and early development of the tele-
phone. Canada and the United States,
each in its own way, cnnaribute•1
jointly to Bell's great achievement.
To each, in its ,proper measure, and
without detracting trout the el -taints
of the other, must be given a part trf
the credit which they jointly share.
Profitable Farming
Demands Clean Seed
\V'liat is good tillage? First—to _
plough thoroughly; secondly — to
plough, and thirdly—to manure. The
other .part of .tillage is to have good
seed. t0 sow plentifully, and to take
trp alt the Creeds which may grow
during the season.
This is a time of year when -atten-
tion is being given to seed supplies. If
growers are using their ,iovn seed ,t
is important to have it well dcane i
and graded, to remove small, shrunk-
en, immature or broken kernels, inert
matter and weed seeds. It is not too
early to bring the fauniug alit' .501
from its winter quarters, make (10C-es-
sary repairs to the mill and screens,
and continence cleaning operations.
It is well not to hurry the cleaning of
seed. The seed should be fed evenly
and slowly into the mill and cleaned
a second or third time if necessary.
Those farmers are fortunate who
have a modern power seed cleaning
plant of their own, or one in the
community which rcan be used for the
preparation of their seed for sowing
or for the market.
The Plant Products Division, Pro-
duction Service, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, advises that if it
is necessary to •buy seed supp•lids it is
well .to he sure they are graded and
marked in accordance with .the provi-
sions of the Seeds Act and regula-
tions Information with regard to
seeds, plant diseases, insect pests and
weeds niay be obtained. from the Do-
minion Department 'of Agriculture,
Ottawa, or -branch offices.
