FARMERS SAY
RADIO SPEEDS
CROP GROWTH
HieA-FrequeAcy Waves From Sta.
ton Canse Vegetation to
Tale o. Growth.

Radio Il speeding the growth Of
crupsi
THIS remarkable discovery has
been made by government agricul-
tural experts in Washington. They.
have been conducting experiments
and observations on farms near
htgh-Dowered radio stations where
they report more rapid growth of
soil products than ordinarily.
Radio has been known to be an
indispensable aid to farmers in the
broadcasting of special agricultur-
al Information and reports on
weather, market and atmospheric
conditions. But not until The pres
emit revelations were made has ra-
dio been known to be Of direct
help to the farmer in the produc-
ton Of his crops.
Tho government experts study
ing this phenomenon have discov-
cred that the high-frequency waves
from the broadcasting stations
nearby have caused vegetation to
take on q larger growth and reach
its maturity much sooner than un-
der ordinary conditions.
Proceeding on this discovery,
scientists have established an ex-
pertinent station at Honolulu, where
they are concentrating their atten-
ton on the production Of crops
through the aid of wireless waves.
Would Act as Fertilizer.
If radio actually is beneficial to
crop growth. experts say, a system
of wireless stations could be in
stalled to help farming throughout
the country. By this means, radio
waves could be distributed from a
central station over a wide cult
waited area.
By distributing the waves close
to the ground, radio would act as a
fertilizer and energizer for the
hasty development Of farm prod
ucts. BY such a method the grow
ing season for certain products
could be shortened and a large
yield assured.

With Goniometer Operator Can

Did you ever hear Of a "goni-

angles!
In radio, it consists of combin-
alton Of coils, which, when proper
ly connected to a suitable receiving
antenna, enables the operator to
measure the angle from which the
radio signal comes.
1t is q direction finder-although
the term "goniometer" is applied
only to that instrument in the op-
Grating room which is adjusted in
making the determinations.

How do ships at sea keep track

That's done by radio.
Every day, beginning at 1855
O'Clock in the morning and 9:55
o'clock at night. radio operators
on board ships along the American
coasts set their instruments for the
reception Of 2,500-meter wave. 1t
comes from the high power u, s.
naval station at Arlington, Va.
From this station, at these hours
every day, the exact time is trans
mitted in dots and dashes to all
radio operators tuning in. These
dots and dashes come from the
master clock at the U. s. naval OBJ
servatory.
Beginning at 1855 o'clock and
9:55 o'clock, q dot is sent out by
radio each second for the first 80
seconds. Then there is a lapse Of
one second and the dots are re-
sumed up to the 55th second. when
there is another silence Of five
seconds.
This system Is repeated each min
ute, until the 50th second of the
59th minute is reached. Then in
stead Of a lapse Of five second:
there is break Of 10 seconds.
At exactly IL o'clock noon and IL
o'clock at night, dash of three
seconds duration is transmitted
This is. followed by an interval Of
four seconds, and the time signals
are ended with the call letters, IN
