cablegram to the Tribune from Berlin
says: Singing sparks" is the ex'
pressive name given to an improved
wireless system just perfected which
it is claimed, will entirely obviate the
uncertainties with which other wire
less systems have had to contend.
The new method consists in sending
out the vibrations which form the

ceiver, no matter how softly they
may be attuned. 1t is declared b.
the inventors that by means OF this

time since wireless telegraphy was
established to maintain communica-
: ton in spite Of the most violent at

vantage claimed is that it will be pos
sible to work with much smallcranten
nae for the aerial wires by which th'
, energy IS absorbed. In their passag'
through the air the singing spark
will be entirely noiseless.

End OF Wheat Seeding

Conditions have been very poor all
fall for preparing land for wheat and
for sowing il. The continued dry
weather has left the soil dry to con-
siderable depth and showers which
moisten the soil to the depth of a foot
or less do not pat the land in good
shape for wheat. There has been no
loss 10y seeding of until after the mid
die of October. If wheat comes up
without a store of moisture in the soil
to support its growth. it is greatly
weakened by hot weather. Wheat
sown later has a better chance because
Of the cooler weather which does not
force its growth.
Then there's the Hessian fly which is
making it interesting for wheat grow
ers In northern Oklahoma. One efec-
tive way of lighting il is to delay seed
ing until after the tenth of October in
Oklahoma, AMI better, until after the
fifteenth.
The time of sowing of wheat, on the
average, makes quite a difference in
the yield but not as much as some
folks think. The Oklahoma expert
ment station some years ago found
that, on the average of five years trials,
yields were the same from seeding on
September 18th as from seeding on
October 18th, the preparation of the
soil and the seed being the same in
each instance. But invariably, seed
ing November Is or later gave lower
yields than earlier seeding. Usually
the later after November LIST in Okla
homa that wheat is sown, the lower
the yield But because of moisture
conditions this year, it is entirely pos
sible that wheat sown early in No.
vember may outyield that sown Octo-
Der 18th or earlier.
Just what the wheatgrower should
do isn't entirely clear this season. But
Judging by the records and results of
the past, ii wheat is t o be sown, the
work should be finished within the
next two weeks. Later seedlings may
do we'll, but likely they will not. And
three pecks OF seed to the acre is more
likely to produce paying yields than
four or five pecks or more.-Oklahoma

Some time ago we heard of a family

found that they were keeping enough
worthless dogs around them that we're
