Agricultural Department Builds Up
Elaborate Systems Of Checks.
Balances and Precautions.

One OF the most elaborate systems

that surrounds any OF the administra-
tive activities OF the government has
been built up in connection with the
machinery in the department OF agri-
culture for settling disputes as to
grades OF cotton under the cotton.fu-
lures law. The department has had to
guard carefully against the possibility
OF the good faith of its agents being
questioned. and TO accomplish this has
worked out q plan that should satisfy
even the most chronically suspicious.
After the receipt of small quantities
OF the fiber. agreed on by both parties,
from each bale OF cotton in dispute.
the samples are carefully locked up in
a vault until clerk to the board OF
examiners opens the packages and ar
ranges them In readiness for examina-
ton. Each sample is marked only by
number 80 that nothing can be
known OF the parties to the dispute.
An examination sheet is prepared for
each dispute. also bearing the number
and statement Of the contentious OF
the parties to the dispute, but with.
out names
Finally the board of examiners. com.
posed Of expert cotton classers. is di.
vided into squads OF three men each,
the personnel Of each squad being
changed daily SO that no three men
constitute the same squad for two con.

made by squad, its decision being the
basis for the findings by the secretary
OF agriculture. The findings have the

"A distinct feature is that relating

Talk to Pearl Harbor.

New York, Sect. 30.-That wireless
telephone communication from Airing.
ton to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, dis
tanee of 4,so0 miles, is now an &C
complished fact, was announced today
at the offices Of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
Exceeding esen in success the trans
mission OF the human voice from Ar.

of $500 miles, accomplished last night,
1t was stated that subsequent expert.

The distance over which this wire.

greater than the distance from New

The voice had to travel over the
whole of the United States, a distance
of $500 miles, before it encountered
the more simple wireless conditions
which exist over large bodies of water.
For the purpose of this test it was
stated that the receiving was done on
small wireless antennae erected by
engineers OF the telephone company
by permission OF the naval authorities
In the Pearl Harbor station.

IMPROVE CREDIT OF FARMER
Two Methods Described by Bulletin Is
sued by Department Of Agriculture
How to Organize.

organizations has contributed to the
department of agriculture bulletin
on How farmers may improve their

The two general methods considered
are: That of temporary agreements

of loans. and that of permanent ar.
ticles OF agreement among the farmers

sociations"
Under the first method, the bulletin
presents In detail three different plans
and gives in full the legal forms to
be used in their development A spe-
ciiic example is given applying these
plans to the improvement OF the dairy
herd and suggesting how they can be
used In cattle breeding. hog raising
and the purchase of better farm equip.
