Giant Radio Station
Built by Americans
Largest in World
Construction of Towers 900 Feet High
at Bordeaux Has Been
Completed.

| BORDEAUX, ,F'riday.-Construction work
on the giant Lafayette radio station being
built here by the American navy is fin
ished and installation of the electrical
equipment will be completed next spring,
il is announced. This will be the largest
and most powerful wireless station in the
world according to naval authorities.
Construction of the plant began about
two years ago when it was believed that
the war might continue for a long time
and when the necessity of ample communi-
cation facilities between the United States
and the American forces in France was
clearly evident to naval officials. At that
time the cables were far behind in the
transmission of business and there was ex-
isting in the United States a spirit of great
anxiety concerning anticipated casualty
lists.
When the armistice was signed the
French government asked the United
States Navy to complete the station be-
cause the navy wasV familiar with the
plans and had a force Of experienced
workmen on the spot. The French gov
ernment, however, agreed to meet the en-
tire cost Of construction and to take over
the plant when completed.
The aerals of the station are swung
upon eight steel towers, each about 800
feet high, almost equalling in altitude the
famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. The anten-
nae towers of the wireless station at An
napolis. which is the largest in the United
States, are only about 600 feet high, while
the tallest German station, located in Ber-
lin, is 500 feet high.
1t is expected that the station will be OF
such power that any amateur or profess
sional station in the world. regardless OF
static conditions, will be able to pick up
it's transmission. The electrical installa-
ton is entirely modern, and the station
conceals secrets that the French govern
ment is guarding closely. No one is al
lowed to enter the plant except the trusted
men who are at work there.

Unless done properly, opportunely,
and persistently, spraying is n waste
of money and should plan for the
fight against pests and diseases just
as he does for the preparation of the
land and the cultivation. This means
to have the spraying outfit in work
ing order and the matrials on hand
so that the fight can be commenced
while the crop is very small and con.
tinued throughout it's growth. Spray.
ing should be started on most crops
when the plants are young ard re-
peated periodically according to
weather conditions.
AS to outfits, the small hand spray
ers are fairly efficient on young
plants and small fields, but are not
satisfactory in large fields and where
large amounts of material are re-
Quired.
From every standpoint the power
machines are more desirable. Many
growers are not able to own one by
himself, but by joining with some OF
his neighbors an outfit capable If
covering 20 to so acres a day can be
comparatively bought and used. AS
we see it, this is the solution of the
spraying problem in Marion county.
Further, we feel that the time mas
come when the truckers must spray
their crops well or be forced out of
the truck business. Losses from dis.
eases and insect pests are more fire.
quent and heavier each year.

Is said to be one of the three most

in Iowa.
Mrs. Estes is a thorough business
woman. She knows her product. she
knows her territory, she knows how

can get a certain part, or what his
account is or what something will
cost, you've got to be able to tell him
quickly.
In a letter to the Ford Motor Com
pay, the DeSMoines branch manager
says of Mrs. Estes: This dealer has
the largest number of cars according
to the population of her territory Of
any dealer under this branch. Her es-
innate for this year is one car for
every twenty-seven people including
men, women, children and inmates of
the poor farm. And she has con-
s1stently carried greater percentage
of untitled orders for immediate de-
livery than any other dealer we have"

Farm Notes by the County Agent

v arm Notes by the County Agent
There is a general complaint this
year that the bean crop has not de-
veloped the usual growth of vines
and pods. In most cases this is, no
doubt, due to the cool nights, windy
days and light fertilization. But in
I some instances we have found that
the crop is poor because the nitrifying
bacteria are not on the roots. The
bean belongs to the legume family
and is able to get nitrogen from the
air by means of bacteria that live on
its roots and from nOdules (small
balls.) When these are not present
the plant will be lacking in vigor, I'M
less the soil is very rich in nitrogen
or a fertilizer heavy in nitrogen has
been applied.
The most of our soils have the
bacteria in them, or become inocu-
lated in some way, so that it is not
often that a farmer has to give any
attention to this phase of bean cul-
ture. However, where the crop is
not good and an investigation shows
that the nodules have not formed On
the roots, it will be well next year
to either inoculate the seed with
some of the prepared cultures, or take
100 pounds of soil from a field where
beans did we'll this year and mix with
the seed when planting. The U. s.
Department of Agriculture will fur
nish the culture or they can be bought
from the seedmen at the rate of about
$500 for enough to supply one acre.
Peanuts sometimes fail Usually
the trouble is due to lack of lime,
but very often potash is needed, and
frequently phosphate. Occasionally
all three elements are needed on the
same soil. If plenty of pods from the
indication is that phosphate is not re-
Iquired. In case the pods are not
filled out either lime, or potash is
needed and possibly both.
If it is decided to apply lime and
acid phosphate, they should not be
mixed together, nor put in at the
same time. Distribute the acid phos-
plate before planting and work the
lime in when cultivating. Place the
lime on, or around the plants just
ahead Of the pillow or cultivate.
1t is evident that spraying Of truck
crops for the control Of insects and
diseases should be pacticed just as
faithfully as the fertilization or cult

BY continuing to improve in health

much worry within the last few
weeks.

congressman who for weeks discussed
plans for the substitution of some one
for the president in case "of his ina
bility to manage the affairs of state

mending"
This is a new and authoritative an
swer to the report circulated by Sen
ator Moses of New Hampshire that
the presidents health was perma-
nently and seriously impaired This
story originated in New Hampshire,
where it was repeated from a letter
sent by Senator Moses to some one of
his constituents. 1t created quite a
furry at the time. No formal denial
was made of it. The presidents
rapid recovery is complete disproof
of the tale spread by Senator Moses
and others.
The talk of the alleged inability Of
the president to cope with things
stopped short after the visit of Sena-
tor Fall to the White House on the
Mexican situation. The answers of
the president to the senator's ques-
tions were so able that the Republic
