WORK OF THE WIRELESS.
From the Cincinnati Eno,,,rer

The international conference for
SAFETY OF life at sea has recently agreed
to h enforcement Of the equipment
with wireless of all vessels carrying so
or more persons. n while this Is a
long step in the right direction it does
not go far enough.
A cablegram from London states
that all vessels plying within 1000
miles OF land are permitted exemption
from equipment with wireless, but it
scarcely seems possible that this in
formation is correct, as such exemp-
ton would cover coatwtse vessels the
world over, and in great measures de-
tract from the safety of vessels beyond
that limit.
The wireless has proved Its saving
power in a number Of instances along
our coasts, notably in the case Of the
Ward Line steamship Merida, which
sunk in collision less than 200 miles off
the Virginia capes in 1911, and in it's
distress the working Of the wireless
brought a number Of vessels SO equip
ped to its immediate assistance.
The c~ablegram which records such
exemption certainly must be an err
ror. as the safety Of the passengers
and crews upon coastwise vessels Is
potently guarded now by the many
vessels in such trade that are already
equipped, and the International con-
ference is too well informed as to the
usefulness Of this equipment to sane
ton the exception reported.
1t Is estimated that the wireless calls
for assistance to vessels have resulted
In the saving Of the lives Of more than
5000 persons since the system was put
into practical work, and yet William
Marconi. In q recent interview, esti-
mated that OF the 10000 British vessels
of 0 than 100 tons fewer than 700
OF them had wireless equipment. or
Germany's vessels about IL per cent
have the wireless. and OF those Of
France about 5 per cen are so equipped.
It a thus be seen that If all yes
quired to be equipped with wireless
q most efficient wetch and ward Of the
ocean could be maintained by the
nations n disasters upon the lakes.
seas and oceans could be reduced to a
minimum.
Arrangements have recently been
made between the Marconi company OF
Great Britain and the owners Of the
fishing fleet at Lowestoft, England, by
which n or more vessels Of the fleet,
shall be equipped with wireless, and
through Its work the various vessels of
the fleet q be advised as to the ports
at which their cargoes OF fish will be In
greatest demand and bring the best
prices, thus avoiding any chance Of
o-verstocking markets at any port,
The fishing vessels around every
coast could be rendered OF great as
sistance to the larger vessels through
the wireless relays OF direct COM
munication.
Those OF Newfoundland, Labrador. the
New England and the New Jersey
coasts, the coasts of Great Britain,
France and Holland. will not only find
such equipment q great factor of
safety to themselves and to the larger
vessels OF the merchant marine that
pass near by, but ADVANTAGEOUS

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
Us Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that Of Messrs. J.. G. Hill & Sons
Of Loydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck Of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned. and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at n time the
winner of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were Of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
4AAAACoOk0 oA4pA was 6Oul0 Lul00
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca

gave them for the third time the

trophy contributed by the state Of

The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north Of the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
