things he has to buy than to the market price of wheat or hogs
but nevertheless it remains that other commodities must come
down or wheat and hogs go so per cent higher to put the Montana
farmer on the 1913 basis.
After all has been said and done the price of wheat is abnor-
mally low because American farmers have produced too much
of it. Wheat is an easy crop to raise. 1t requires only a few
days labor as compared to corn and many other crops and one
man can crop more acres in wheat than he can in almost any
other cereal. The war stimulated the price of wheat until war
prices induced farmers to over produce in wheat. There is no
way under the sun to adjust this production of wheat to a demand
that will yield a fair price except to have wheat so Improbable
for a time that farmers who can do something else with their land
will get out of wheat.
There is nothing to be hoped from an increased foreign de-
mand. While we are exporting less than we did during the war,
we did actually in 1922 export four times as much as we did in
1913. We must expect to export less when Russia comes back.
The increase in our production of wheat since 1913 has been
equal to more than half the entire wheat crop of Russia in 1913.
Overproduction of wheat is our trouble, not loss of export
demand or raise in freight rates. Freight rates have risen, to be
war wage but if earnings were reduced to the extreme suggested
by the most radical it would not reduce the freight on wheat
more than a few cents a bushel. Somebody must get out of wheat
and a low price is the only thing that will make the American
farmer grow less wheat. When too many hogs are raised the
price goes down and the farmers of the corn belt have learned
that there is nothing to do about it but raise less hogs. The
sociahstic dream that a government can fix a price on wheat or
done and never can be done. What would we do with our surplus
wheat when an artificial price had kept us overproducing the
markets demand?
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-09-19
OVER PRODUCTION DID 1T

Threshng is pretty well along in Montana. Everywhere in
the state the quality of the grain is high and as a general thing
the yields are fully up to early season expectations. This means
that Montana will produce in the neighborhood of so 600 600
bushels of wheat. Back in 1915, which was the record year up to
that time for wheat production in the Treasurer State, the total
production was something less than 50,0OOO 900 bushels. Nineteen
fifteen was the wet year, the best dry farming year in Montana's
history, a year when homesteaders were thickly settled on thous-
ands of acres that have since been abandoned. And vet this
year, when they tell us that a third of our farmers have quit the
state or turned their attention to other avocations. Montana uro-
duces one of the big wheat crops in it's history.
This is the history of wheat farming since the war and Mon
tanas S a good example. We are raising more wheat here, partly
because it was once a good money crop, partly because it is easy
to raise and partly because many of our farms are suitable for
little else. Some of these seasons, particularly the first two,
low prices.
Now the price OF wheat right now is not so bad. It would
have been a mighty good price back in 1918. Neither is the price
OF hogs or sheep to be complained about. The trouble is that
the farmers dollar won't go as far as it did in those DAYS. Stats
tclans report the farmers dollar as having the purchasing power
that sc cents did in 1913. This is due more to the high price of

SWEET PEAS

A decade or so ago it would have been hard to find a more
contented and uniformly prosperous community than Bozeman
and the adjacent Ganatin valley. Our farmers were making
money, nearly all of them and in consequence the merchants of
the different towns prOspered. We were boosters, all of us. There
was a deal of live community spirit and loyalty. BOzeman had it's
sweet pea carnival, a festival unique among the many celebrations
of the country, we had a county fair to display the wealth of the
fields and pastures. Never a boom town, we were a conservative
contented community.
Then came the war and it's disruption of everything. Fol-
lowing a period of hectic prosperity and wild speculation, we came
to earth with the fact confronting us that we had a long, steady
pull to regain the ground we had lost, to get back to the old
footing. Postwar deflation hit the farmers first of all, but as
this is an agricultural community, it hurt everyone as well. We've
had some mighty dark years and now we are just beginning to
get into our stride again.
In the war years and the years just past we lost sight of
many of the finer things of life. Cares and worries gave one little
time for enjoyment, and a mind occupied by the spectre of fin
ancial worry has small inclination to seek care free relaxation.
And as a result we, Individually and collectively, have neglected
many of those things which once meant so much to life in Boze-
man.
1t is peculiarly fortunate that this year, when times are look
ing up a bit, the Womans club of Bozeman revived the old custom
of taking sweet peas to the trains. This custom obtained in the
old days during the Sweet Pea carnival and was to advertise that
event. This season it was taken up again as a fine courtesy and
a delicate way of advertising the city. Many expressions of ap-
probation have come to the women as a result of their efforts
from tired travellers who appreciated the fragrant blossoms and
doubtless many more appreciated the offering yet did not know
how to express their thanks. A great deal of credit is due the
BOzeman Womans' club for reviving the custom and to Mrs. w. E.
Joseph, who had the happy idea.

some trouble III II of ii dozen piorcs
of your apparatus. During these peri
Odic lapses there is usually some talk
that you would like to have heard or a
particular concert. A crystal detectOr
will fill in these blanks very well, and
you will be surprised at the quality OF
the music our b~rOadcasting stations are
sending out when you hear it via the
crystal instead of at the noisy end OF
a two-step ampli6er.
Many of the SO-called disadvantages
Of the crystal detectOr a be partially
overcome.
Crystal receivers usually June broad
~; that is, a small change in tuning
does not cause a very great change in
signal strength, and a station can be
heard Over quite a range Of tuning.
This that if two stations are
sending and their wave lengths are not
very far apart it win be impossible to
tune n In and exclude the other,
whereas If the receiver tunes sharply,
a station will be heard over a very
narrow band of wave lengths. In other
words, a very few degrees either way
from the point where the best audi
bility is obtained win tune the station
out. Then some selectivity can be had
between two stations even If separated
only by a few meters with a sharply
tuned receiving set.
The crystal in the usual hOOkups
introduces a resistance into the Oscil-
lating circuit, causing that circuit to be
somewhat aperiOdic. That is, it will
respond to more than u wave length.
It is rather hard to tune sharply
with a crystal and a single tuning coil
In this case the crystal must be
shunted across at least q part Of the
inductance and there Is no way Of
keeping It entirely out of any of the
circuits which may be used. In order
to keep 1t as sharply tuned as possible.
1t Is best to reduce the number Of
turns shunted by the detector circuit
as low as possible without sacrificing
too much signal strength. If the cir
cult shown in Fig. I is used. the

DO NOT DESPISE
CRYSTAL DETECTOR
1t Is Dependable and Cheap and
Every Amateur Receiving Set
Should Have One.

There is considerable to know about
the crystal, and a little knowledge will
enable the operator to get better re-
suits and bring increased respect for
this instrument. There are many rea.
sons for the longing of the owner of a
crystal receiving set for the vacuum
tube outfit. However, he has a great
many advantages which the owner Of
the more expensive outfit does not pos
sess.
For instance, the crystal reproduc-
ton of the radiOphone b~roadcasting Is
OF the best possible quality. The ac-
ton being only rectifying there is no
chance Of distortion. The tube re-
ceiver nearly always distOrts to some
extent. If maximum regeneration is
used, even though the tube Is not al
lowed to 0sclllate, distortion is bound
to result. Transformer or choke coil
coupling between amplifers, no grid
bias or wrong grid bias, poorly
matched tubes and transformers or bad
loud talker will all cause distortion.
A combination of several Of these often
causes very great distortion.
When the crystal receiver Is out of
commission It does not take a genius
20 locate the trouble. The circuit and
the adjustments are simple. A burned
out tube means $500 or more for an.
other. A bad crystal means q littl,

trouble to clean it I'D or at the worst a
dime for a new one. The crystal set
does not go out of commission period
ically as the tube set does, due to a
worn out battery.
The crystal set is quiet In action,
adding no noise of itself, as do many
of the detector tubes. Reception
through static is nearly always more
easily accomplished with a crystal.
The atmOspherics seem to be brought
in all out of proportion to the signal
by the tube detectors, while the crystal
seems to damp out the high voltage
peaks Of the static or strays to some
extent, leaving the signals, which are
strong enough for it to rectify audlbly,
very clear.
The crystal set has numerous dis
advantages, of course, but so has the
vacuum tube, and the good points Of
the former greatly overbalance its
faults.
1t is not very stable, a slight jar
often being sufficient to KNOCK out" a
good point. There is no way in which
a crystal may be made to amplify and
1T does not give sufficient signal
strength to use with a loud talker.
It usually causes broad tuning, which
makes it difficult to tune out inter-
ference. 1t is not as sensitive to faint
signals as the vacuum tube, although
it is surprisingly sensitive when prop
erly adjusted. Adjusting the crystal is
a tedious task, and it has become espe-
cially so since the lab~or-saving vacuum
tubes have become SO numerous.
A crystal detector should be included
In every receiving set. 1t is depend
able, cheap, and takes up little space.

plifer and a loud talker with all the
trimmings. you will admit that there
are numerous times when your re.
