Keep Aerial Away

A good aerial Is a big factor for

proven that an aerial which Is short

too short TO give the best results Tor

that the up.io-daie amateur should
possess two aefials. a short multi
wire one for sending, and q long
single Wire one for receiving.
In erecting any aerial. Il should
be kept as FAR away as possible from

never was a better prospect for a
large fruit crop in Pawnee county
than there is this spring. Opinions
differ as to the amount Of damage
done by recent frosts. Peach, pear
and apricot trees are mass of
bloom.
Owing to wet weather which has
kept farmers out of the fields, SOW
ing Of oats has been somewhat de-
layed and some have decided not to
include as much oats as usual. The
moisture has put the soil in excel
