prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrculture.)
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being tried
cut by the United States Department
Of Agriculture as means for destroy
ing noxious birds. animals, and insects.
Some of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions,
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowing
rodents, and possibly subterranean in
sects and pests in stored products.
XIII Destructive Birds.
The most recent proposal Is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con-
gregate In marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, In co-Opera-
tion with the chemical warfare serv-
ice, Is planning to make trial Of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $780,
600 worth Of damage 10 the milo crop
each year. Because Of their feeding
habits Ii Is impossible to destroy these
roost on the reeds in the marshes, 1t
Is thought that they can be killed by
gas cloud at night when the wind Is
favorable. The blackDirds are migra-
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that a
big killing In a certain locality will
probably free II Of the pests for many
years. A few other birds In the black
bird-infested marshes will be killed at
the same time, but the department be-
lieves that these local birds will soon
reach their normal numbers again.
Try Gas on Rodents.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
lcal warfare service for investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases
on such burrowing rodents as rats,
prairie dogs, ground squirrels. and
woodchucks. Tests on pocket gophers
and ground squirrels by these two CO.

RADIO
THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation Of Terms Used In
Radio and of Its Basic
Principles.

Due to the great interest taken In ra-
dio since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice. Some Of the most com
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy is propagated In the form Of
wave motion. Every one Is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface Of a still body Of water by the
dropping Of a stone into 1t.
Every time point on the surface
Of the waves goes through complete
set Of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave is said to have
gone through cycle.
The number Of complete cycles gone
through per second Is the frequency.
The human ear Is responsive to
sound frequencies up to few thousand
cycles per second but Is not capable of
responding to the higher frequencies
encountered In radio. Arbitrarily
frequency Of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
--one which can be heard-and frei
quencies above 10000 cycles, radio or
inaudible frequencies-because they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type OF wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All of us have seen
bits of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up In the form
Of horseshoes. This attraction Of the
magnet for the bits of iron and steel
showed the existence of magnetic

.HESSIAN FLY HARMS
WINTER WHEAT CROP
lnfestation Regarded as Worst
in Many Years.
Where Parasite 10 Present In Large
Numbers Crop Should Be PIowed
Under, az II VIII Not Amount
to Anything.

A prevalence of Hesslan ny Is re-
ported in winter wheat sections and,
judging from samples received from
many meas, the infestation is the
worst for several years.
Favorable climatic conditions, cou-
pied with an absence of parasite
that ordinarily destroys the larvae Of
the Hessian fly and too early planting
of the wheat last fall. Is the cause
Of the outbreak. Where wheat was
sOwn early 1t needs to be carefully
examined for traces Of the fly.
Signs Of the infestation may be de-
tected by examining the wheat field.

The high-frequency current Is known
as the carrier-waye and It's function
Is 10 radlate into space in the form Of
electromagnetic waves and by Its va
ration In amplitude carry with 1t the
variation In the tone at the transmit
ting station.
II is the frequency Of the carrier
wave that determines the wave-lensth
on which radiophone station Is trans
mitted. BY experiment II has been
found that electromagnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that light
waves travel, that Is. 10000 miles per
second. Wave-length is the distance
between any two similar points on two
successive waves; for example, the dis
tance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves In the same direction,
measured In meters, unit Of length
equal approximately to one and one
tenth yards. Converting $4,000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 100000 900
meters The length Of an electro-mag-
netic wave Is equal then to 800, 900
divided by the frequency. Suppose a
station was transmitting on wave
length Of 800 meters. The frequency
OF the carrier-wave would be approx
mately $4,000 cycles.
Just as violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that Is, makes a certain string
emit note of higher or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking, sound wave
Of higher or lower frequency by ad-
justlng the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants Of the
antenna circuit Of radiophone trans
mitter be changed In order to have
the station emit carrier-wave Of a
different frequency.
If tuning fork having natural
period corresponding 20 middle G be
placed near a violinist who is playing.
the fork will vibrate when the musi-
clan plays middle G, but all other times
It will remain quiescent This phenOm-
enon of the tuning fork vibrating
whenever the musician plays the cor
responding note on the violin is known
as mechanical resonance. If radio
receiver be adjusted so. that electrically
it's natural period of vibration will be

field about the tips of the magnet and
this same kind of field prOpagates
the electromagnetic force, except that
unlike the toy magnet, its power comes
Off In the form Of wavy motions. This
electromagnetic force propagates ra-
dio energy in all directions. q
The medium that transmits the elec-
tro-magnetic waves is the same me-
dlum that transmits llght-the ether.
This medium is supposed to fill all
space, even that occupied by fluids and
solids. Little Is known about Its prop
critics.
In radio II Is more common to speak
of wave length than frequency. The
wave length Of any wave motion Is the
distance between any two successive
crests in the same direction. The
wave length depends upon the fre-
quency. II the frequency Is high the
wave length Is short. On the other
hand II the frequency is low the wave
length Is long. Numerically the wave
length Is equal to the distance trav-
eled by the wave In one second divided
by the frequency. Suppose. for ex-
ample, that II were desired to know
the wave length of an electromagnetic
wave having frequency Of $4,000
cycles. Electromagnetic waves travel
at the same speed as do light waves
that is, 10000 miles per second. Di-
viding the 10000 by $4,000 the wave
length would be .223 miles or 396
yards. In radio work II is measured
in meters. A meter is equal to ap-
proximatelv IL yards. Converting 800
yards into meters the wave length
would be 800 divided by IL or 800
eters. This Is the wave length on
which KDKA operates. 1t also means
that the electromagnetic waves sent
out from this station have frequency
of $4,000 cycles.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
In radiophone transmitter there
are two requirements that must be
fulfilled. First, there must be source
Of high-frequency current, say, between
5000 and 100000 cycles so con-
nected to an antenna and ground sys-
tenn that energy In the form Of electro
magnetic waves will be radlated. Sec
ond, there must be some method of
controlling this Frequency current
or modulating II 10 that the variations
IN the amplitude of tho highrfreduency
current will be directly proportional

Adult Female, Greatly Enlarged.
If 1t has stunted plants upon which
small brown seedlike bodies are at
tached to the stalks, the fly is prob
ably present In the pupal or "fiax
seed stage. These brown seedlike
bodies can be found below the surface
of the ground between the leaf sheath
and the stem. of the plant. Within
few weeks small gnatlike flies hatch
out. laying a second crop of eggs which
result In the spring brood of flies.
The Hessian fly has four stages In
Its life. The egg, the maggot, the
pupal and the fly. 1t is the maggot,
white, fiaky worm, about one-fifth Of
an inch long, that does the damage.
If the plant survives the first attack
there Is a chance of considerable dam
age resulting from the second crop,
which eat the stems and cause the
grain to lUdge and lessons the grain
production.
Wheat that is badly infested with
the Hessian fly ought to be plowed un-
der, as 1t will not amount to anything
as crop and will only serve as
hatchirg ground for further crops.
Often some parts Of the yield only are
affected and the farmer may use his
judgment as to turning under only a
part Of the field.
Where volunteer seedlings of last
years crop are detected containing
Hessian fly they should be plowed un-
der at once. If there are any suspI-
cious signs Of the presence Of the fly
in the fields the entomologists urge
that samples be sent to the state en-
tomologist for examination.
