WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY DISCOVERY OF SOUTH
 AMERICA. INDIANS
Used Their Crude Device To Signal Each Other Back in
 1898

NEW YORK, N. r., Nov. 5.-It has been learned here that way back near ly twenty years ago, Indian tribes of the Amazon valley in South America a crude apparatus of wireless tele- graphy was used.
 The apparatus. called cambarysu consists of hole in the ground about half filled with coarse sand; above this layers of fine sand, fragments of wood and bone, and powdered mica fill it almost to the surface of the ground.
 Like Barrel-shaped Drum
 These materials are surrounded by a case of hard palm-wood, which ex- tends above the surface. The upper part of the apparatus consists of lay CTS of hide, wood and hard rubber.
 Between the upper layers and the lower layers there is hollow space With a club, much like the stick used to play the bass drum, the native strikes the layer of rubber that forms the top of the barrel-shaped instru- ment.
 One of the instruments is concealed in each hamlet of the tribe. The viii lages are not more than a mile apart, and are placed in direct north and south line.
 Soundiess Blows Heard Mile Away
 Altho a person standing outside the building in which the apparatus is kept cannot hear a blow of the stick on the rubber top. it is quite distinct in a similar building a mle dstant. When one of these instruments is struck. the neighboring ones to the north and south echo the blow. The Indian stationed at each one of the posts answers the signal.

means in it's possibilities of retaining the desert.
 Dr. Meade talked over local matters and the Salt River valley situation in particular with Project Manager Cone, who was with him much of the day he spent here. He also visited Governor Campbell and was the guest of William Conrad Mills, an old friend, at the Ro- tary club luncheon, where he spoke of the federal farm loan bank, or wnicn he is director.
 The conference with Dr. Meade is the latest step in the effort now being made to press home upon the govern nent the importance of taking up the Verde project, now that food crops are of such necessity. The work will not cease at this point, for it is possible that a delegation may follow up the work already done by visiting Wash ington. It is believed that with no equivalent expenditure could a larger desert acreage be brought under culti- vation than by the construction of the Verde dam. It is really needed to make the valley irrigation system complete, and there is no doubt but that it will come at some future time

RETAIL PRICE
 ON MILK WILL
 BE ADVANCED

Members of the Phoenix Dairyman's S association yesterday. at well attend ed meeting agreed upon a new scale for retail milk delivery prices. The ad- vance is forced upon them, the dairy men state, by the high cost of feed The general advance in the retail price of milk is equivalent to 25 per cent.
 The following scale of prices has been adopted as being the lowest fig ure which it will be possible to produce milk:
 Grade A, 121s cents the quart. single pints, 71a cents. Regular cream 15 cents the half pint, double cream % cents the half pint with 10 per cent dis count to customers taking one gallon or more daily.
 Grade B, 10 cents the quart. 6 cents for pints. Cream, 121s cents for regu- regular customers taking one gallon or more daily.
 From the discussion this morning it appears that most of the retail dairy men will adopt practically the scale recommended by the association.
 Several of the dairymen present at the meeting stated that they would not be able to produce milk even at these prices and that they would offer their herds for sale.
 Those who attended the meeting yes terday agreed that in the main labor and feed have advanced in cost from 50 to 100 per cent.

Arizona republican., 1917-04-28

in this valley must have been from one million to a million and half dollars last year. With a greater crop this year it is no longer financial affair of the farmer, but a source of concern to us all This crop must be saved.
 Problem is Great One
 How great a problem this is can be seen when you consider that in the United States there are eight million farms which need for a period of a few months, twenty million men to save their crops In this valley the situa- tion if anything is more acute. By farming rich soil under irrigation with improved machinery one man can in six or eight months produce crop which will take six men from one to three months to save So you see that during a period of a few weeks the working forces of the farmer must be multiplied by six.
 And gentlemen, the problem is your problem as well as that of the farmer It is as easy to say to the farmer, You must produce more,' but unless we al- ter conditions over which the farmer has no control it will be impossible for him to increase his yield, for as a mat ter of dollars and cents he has been producing up to his limit
 You can Dy your example ana ddNlce help us in the labor problem. Advise young men of your acquaintance, your sons, your relations, to get out and help us save the crop. We must put the proposition squarely before every boy to buy four bit pair of overalls that now cost a dollar and a half, and two dollar pair of shoes that now come at four to five dollars, and go to work. And it is only fair that they should have some protection in their labor as farm labor is not standard ized. Here some farmers have the men work from daylight till dark, some from sun up till sun down, and some ten hours. However, because of the shortness of the season, the danger of bad weather, and the high cost of board, I do not believe for the present at least that an eight-hour day would be feasible There is a great deal of lighter work on the farm such as oper- ating machinery and driving teams that can be performed by the boys and be paid well for it too.

Dr. Elwood Meade, who came to the Salt River valley on behalf of the United States government to see what might be done to add to the effective ness of this district as a food produc- ing section, yesterday received a com mittee of prominent business men who strongly laid before him the advantage to come to the nation through the con- struction of the proposed Verde i'm pounding dam. It was not the province of the visitor to express any opinion with regard to the course he will take but it is believed that he will lay the matter before the proper authorities at Washington. What his recommends tions will be, of course, is merely a matter Of conjecture.
 pr. Meade is one of the foremost irri- gation experts in the world. It was he who outlined the irrigation system in vogue in Australia and his work in this country has made him a recognized authority in such matters. He is already familiar with the Verde project and so it was not necessary for the committee to start in at the beginning in outlining what the Verde project
