TELLS OF ABANDONED FARMS

BURLEY, Idaho.-United State,
Senator w. E. B0rah told large
! audience, composed principally Of
farmers in this section of the state
who gathered here to celebrate July
| 4, this morning in delivering the
main address Of the day, said relief
will come to the agricultural in
dustry when the foreign markets OF
the world are thrown open and
Europe abandons its policy Of hate
and destruction and its trade war
This policy he scored in no uncertain
infamy of the century,"
To the farmers who are contem-
plating selling out and moving east
where they may be closer to the
markets, Senator Borah issued a
warning. He told them thousands of
farms in the New England and
Atlantic coast states have been aban-
doned and. left vacant He urged
Idaho farmers to adopt a system of
cooperative marketing of the pro-
duce they raise that 1t may be placed
in the hands of those in the world in
dire need of it.
Last year $4,000 farms were aban-
dOned in the states of New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. There
is no part of the United States where
similar conditions do not obtain. The
agricultural question is nationwide,
yes, worldwide. But have been
over this country a great deal since
the fourth of March. i have been
thru New England, in the states of
NoW VnrE ocIz
and Iowa and l say to you candidly
that if you leave Idaho you will
hasten back.
We have here the area, we have
the soil, we have the water, we have
the mineral, the timber, the pasture,
the climate, and we have above all
the citizenship. There is no element
of great Importance which enters
into the building of state but we
have here in abundance. The pos
sibilities of this commonwealth are
beyond the power of language to tell |
Some may think l am saying this toll
please. Well, I want to please But
my observation in public life leads |
me to believe that nothing is ever
gained by mis-stating facts. Facts |
will take care of themselves in the
end and we had just as well recog-
nize them in the beginning. l am
simply stating that which l believe,
yes, which l know to be true. Idaho
IS great state and has a great
future. We can produce here and
10 other state can excel US.
What Idaho needs is first sys-
em of cooperative marketing seri-
,usly and scientifically worked out.
second, policies which will find out
Ind build up markets. What you
want first is market and second,
modern, orderly, business-likel
method of reaching that market. II
'elieve plan of cooperative market
ng has been worked out and tried
elsewhere which will give you what
'ou want in that respect.

HOW TO CAN CHERRIES

There is no more decorative or de
licious fruit to combine with a dainty
salad, to make pleasing garnisf
for fruit dish or to use simply as 9

few Jars. Idaho women find the
canning of cherries particularly
pleasant as they are able to obtain
the very finest varieties of the fruit
fresh from the orchads.
Here is a recipe for canning sweet
cherries. Its careful details will APP
peal to the BRIDE:
Sour cherries may be put up In a
sweeter syrup with excellent results.
Wash the cherries in cold water and
pit them. Sterilize your glass jars
by boiling them for 20 minutes, with
their covers, in clear water. Drain
and while still hot pack them with
the cherries. Whatever juice you
saved. when pitting the cherries.
should now be added to the jar. Have
ready q hot syrup made as follows:
To six quarts of cherries allow three
pounds of graduated sugar and one
half pint of water; combine and
bring this sugar and water to boil,
then let continue to boil for 10 min
.utes. Turn it over the fruit in the
jars.
Now put a fresh rubber on the
jar. (This rubber should be merely
dipped for an instant in boiling
water to sterlize it, Then put on
the glass cap of the jar. Partially
seal-that is put up the top wire,
over cap, but do not press down side
wire. Sink the jar into boiling
water in your washboiler Gamer
(stand it on wire rack in the can
ner, so that the boiling water will
circulate under the jar as we'll as
around IT'D and watch closely to see
when the water again starts to boil.
When it does, let 1t continue to sum-
ner for 16 minutes. 1t is best not to
lave this boiling water rise over the
OPP of the jars; let it come to within
IN inch from the jar top.
At the end of this 16 minute |
period of processing" remove jar
rom the Gamer, completely seal
that iss press down side wire) and |
nvert to cool and test for leaks. If
leaks, you must open it, put on
resh rubber, and process for five
minutes longer, partially sealed, as
ust described above; then COM
,letely seal. and again test for leaks.

wires Is very great. The greatest ad-
vantage Of single-wire antenna is
mechanical. 1t is much simpler to

TIPS TO THE RADloIsT

Isaak Newlin, an Eskimo in
his early twenties, is a radio
operator Of marked ability In
Alaska.
Dealers are getting business
by testing out each set sold,
using it to receive over their own
antenna.
Lakeview, Ore, has begun to
worry about the time lost by Its
people because Of the lure Of
radio programs.
A song writer composed a
song en- route to Europe and
sent 1t by radio from midocean
for publication. Each note was

Each fire alarm box in the
Preside, San Francisco, is to be
equipped with a radio vibrator,

At a Chautauqua concert at
Camden, N. Y, large audience
was so terrified by a thunder
storm received by radio from
great distance and amplified by
the apparatus, that they rushed
from the tent, only to find the
moon shining and no signs Of
storm.
Some of the fire insurance
companies are demanding that
radio plants be inspected and
certificates Of approved wiring
be obtained. Possessors Of radio
home outfits would do well to
see that their policies are not
affected by the installation Of /
their equipment.
One Of the great uses Of radio
In the future will be the send
ing Of day and night letters
abroad. The low rates that will
be possible will make such COM
munications feasible and eco
nomical and reduce the time
necessary for transacting trans
oceanic business to that Of land
lines.
Government officials have We
toed broadcasting by private
outfits in the Canal Zone and
Panama, the latter having grant

Thousands Of progressive citi-
zens of both places have pro-
tested and offered to pay all
expenses involved, but without
results.

them Is permanently moist. See Fig
The Beverage antenna is one of the
most recent additions to the art OF
short-wave radio reception. Due to its
characteristics, 1t was used at Ar
drossan, Scotland, last December,
when % amateurs succeeded In bridg-
ing the Atlantic with radio.
The Beverage antenna Is adapted to
the reception Of signals on a single
predetermined wave length. 1t con-
sists of one wire supported on 10 to
12-foot posts, this wire having a
length Of either one or two even wave
lengths. If designed for 200-meter
reception, the wire will be either $500
or 1900 feet long.
Unlike the customary form Of an
tenna, this wire Is grounded at both
ends. At the far end, away from the
receiver, 1t is grounded through non
inductive resistance of from 25O to 400
ohms, and at the receiving end through
variable inductance. In the case OF
the receiver used at Ardrossan, five
stages Of radio frequency amplifica-
ton, regenerative detector and two
stages of audio frequency amplifica-
ton were used.
AS stated above, the Beverage an
tenna is designed for reception Of a
single wave length, depending on the
length of the antenna wire. If other
wave lengths are to be received, the
length of the wire must be changed.
1t has been found that the signal
using 1,1O0 feet Of wire, IL
feet above the ground, Is approximate
ly the same as would be heard with
single vertical antenna wire, 40 feet
In height. However, the Beverage an
tenna Is highly directional, and on ac-
count Of this fact, interference from
directions other than those from which |
one wishes to receive is reduced to
minimum. Also, due to the short dis
lance from the ground, static and at
nospheric disturbances are almost |
In general, 1t may be said that the
Beverage antenna is extremely well
adapted for the long distance recep-
ion Of signals from given station
whose transmitting wave length is
Inown.
Often by erecting an elaborate an
emma system, the amateur does not
ret as good results as would be OBJ
aimed from simple well-located one.
The function of an antenna is to cut
he electromagnetic and electro-static
of the field radiated by
he transmitter, and have induced In
t an electro-motve force which will
ause a current to flow in the antenna
ircuit.

Ancient Mode of Torture.

Breaking on the wheel was a horri-
BILE mode of putting to death by tor
ture formerly in use in Europe. The
condemned criminal was first fas-
tened to two pieces of wood in the
form of st. Andrews cross, with
his legs and arms extended, and had
the bones of his shins and thighs and
the fore and upper arms broken with
blows with bar of iron. After that
he was attached to a small carriage
wheel balanced on a stake, and al
lowed to suffer in this position till he
died, sometimes several days after the
breaking of his limbs. Later the gun
ishment was so far mitigated that the
criminal was put to death by a Mn. j.,
blow on the breast. spine or neck be-
fore being exposed on the wheel. and
sometimes he was strangled before
even the breaking of his limbs took
place The torture was last used in
Prussia about 1911.

Ben Jonson's Eminent Services TO Lit
erature Caused James
to Hosor Hun.

The announcement that England's
poet laureate. Robert Bridges. is TO
come to the University of Michigan as
fellow of the creative arts prompts
one to study of the or. gin and his
tory of the English laureateship.
1t was because of his eminent serv-
ices to literature that in 1616-some
authorities say 16l9-James | granted
to Ben Jonson letters patent making
him poet laureate. Charles had been
king for five years when in 1880 he
issued new letters to Jonson. which
for the first time made the laureate
ship a permanent institution An in
stitution. somewhat like the laureate
ship, calculated to encourage litera-
ture and develop the national Ian
guage, is traced to the reign of Henry
Ill. when u yearly salary of 100 shil-
lings was given to Henry D'Avranches,
and he has therefore been called the
pioneer laureate. But this is mere ira
dition.
When Jonson was reappointed poet
laureate by Charles the annual pen
sion was increased to f1O0 and a butt
of wine from the kings cellars Be
fore Jonson's time, however. there
were court poets who sang the praises
of their sovereigns, who celebrated in
heroic verse the victories which ex-
alted the nation, and who were re-
warded for their services with pen
sions and moluments.-Detroit News.
