u. S. WIRELESS TRUCK
HAS SOO-MILE Range
Big Advantage in Army Field Work
from New High Tension
Outfit.
BUILT BY THE WHITE COMPANY

Remarkable advance in the construc-
tion OF portable wireless sets for army
field service has been made by the Sig
nal Corps OF the United States Army. For
the next field operations Of the army
there is available a wireless truck which
can be set up for use in twelve minutes
and send messages within radius OF
500 miles under favorable conditions.
The truck was built especially for the
Signal Corps by the White Company, of
Cleveland. In tests that have already
been made this set has received messages
from points $500 miles distant. The cleo
trical pressure reaches 5000 volts at the
top of the antennae. The great range
OF the new equipment and the speed with
which II may be brought into action is
due to the employment Of a powerful
electric generator driven through train
OF gears by the hirty-horsepower motor
OF the White truck.
The generator delivers electric current
Of 500 cycles at ITO volts and from eight
cen to thirty-two amperes. This current
is interrupted by the relay. operated by
the sending key, and is transformed so
that IL leaves the sides Of the wireless
truck at a pressure Of 22,oO0 volts and an
amperage varying from eight to twelve.
AS the current rises TO the top OF the
antennae the voltage rises to approx
mately $4,000 while the amperage ap-
proaches zero.
The radiation under these conditions
gives a sending ability from 500 miles
under the worst conditions in day time
up TO 500 miles under good conditions OBJ

The antennae is OF the umbrella type,
mounted at the top Of an eigh,y-fve-foot
mast which is built in nine sections The
first. or top, section is raised by hand
but the other sections are lifted by a
block and tackle suspended from struts
mounted on a platform on the roof OF
the truck.

LIVE ON FISH THEY CATCH
Remarkable Breed Of Banker Ponles-

On the coast OF North Carolina there
are several miles OF low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except a coarse
grass, a few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banks lives a strange
breed OF half.wild horses known as
banker ponies" These creatures are
generally about twice the size OF Shet.

North Carolinlans say that the beasts
must be starved into eating grain. hay
or grass, for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass OF the
marshes and on fish. They catch the
fish for themselves at low tide; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes In the

The latter are necessary with this
fruit.
Evaporating and juice manufacture
had not been tried. This coupled with
the poor shipping quality of the ber.
ries made 1t necessary to sell all of
the fresh fruit in the local market.
1t was very easy in the face of such
handicap to overstock the market.
Most of the growers at that time be.
came much discouraged and ripped
out their berries, much TO their regret
in later years.
The following years the prices were
so satisfactory that the loganberry
has been one Of the most profitable
crops we have grown in the state.
These were sold in Aberdeen, South
Dakota, for twenty-five and one-half
cents per pound. For the first few
years nearly all the evaporated ber.
ries were sold in the North Central
states, one car being sold for sl12,-
1890, a price thought by some to be
the highest ever received for a car of
fruit from the Pacific Coast.
During the past season large ship.
ments were made of evaporated Der.
ries to Chicago and other eastern mar
kets. These sold on an average for
twenty.three and one-half cents per
pound I. o. b. The demand for evap.
GRATED loganberries became so great
this past year that for the first time
the buyers came TO the associations
and even to the growers, endeavoring
to secure enough berries to fill their
orders.
Prune evaporators are commonly
used for the evaporation OF the logan.
berry. Both tunnel and stack types
have been used but at the present
time most of the men who have used
both types prefer the tunnel. The
length Of tunnel varies with each
evaporator and ranges from twenty
feet to thirty.four feet
The tunnel eyaporator may be de.
scribed as a group of long. nearly hori-
zontal wooden tunnels, arranged side
by side over a fire pit. The slope
varies from one to two and onehalf
inches per foot. Each tunnel may be

PoWDERY sCAB OF POTATOES
Farmers Of United States Lose Over
$2o,ooo,ooo Every Year From
Disease Of Tubers.

That the farmers Of the United
States lose over thirty million dollars
every year from potato diseases Is a
statement that the United States de-
partment Of agriculture considers as
under the mark rather than other
wise.
The list Of parasites responsible
for this loss is a long one. EARLY
blight, late blight, scab, blackleg, wilt,
powdery dry-rot, and others are al
ready widespread. and new troubles
are discovered every year. Several Of
the worst plant diseases have come to
us from foreign countries, and 1t was
to exclude these unwelcome visitors
that congress passed last year a quar-
antine law under which potatoes from
the British isles, Germany, Austria,
Newfoundland. St. Pierre and Mique-
Ion are now excluded on account of
the wart disease, a dreaded pest
which transforms the tubers into ir-
regular, unrecognizable, black, warty
masses.

Potato Attacked by POwdery scab.

Potato Attacked by Powdery scab.
Importance. AS far as Is known, II is
not generally distributed in the United
States, although 1t has been found
in one or two localities. Every ef-
fort should be made to prevent the
spread of this new disease by the
destruction Of all infected potatoes.
1t causes the formation of round pu-.
tules with raised edges, which may
vary In size and number. (See Illus.
tration.) If they are numerous, the
whole surface of the potato may be-
come covered and the eyes destroyed.
These pustules contain when mature
or at harvesting time brown dust.
This powdery substance consists Of
countless small spore balls, which
may remain alive in the soil for
several years and infect the future
crops
The question now before the de-
partment Of agriculture Is whether
this scab Is of such n dangerous char
acter that the exclusion OF potatoes
from all foreign countries will be
justified. Such n quarantine would
involve Canada and probably nearly
all European countries not already
under the wart-disease embargo.
