GROWERS OPTIMISTIC IN
FORT VALLEY SECTION

FORT VALLEY, Ga, March 20
Growers agree it is impossible II
estimate peach damage until the sun
shines, though there is a spirit OF
optimism amoung orchardists who
think only a percentage of the crop
is hurt. Peaches at this stage have
withstood harder cold, and there
was no frost but wind throughout
the night.
The government agricultural sta
ton here is making investigation,
and experts think there is a loss,
but not a bad one. a. M. Seifert.

estimates the damage at thirty per
cent, and says growers could lose
fifty per cent and have successful
crop. He affirms Fort Valley and
vicinity still have a promising peach
crop, and the fact that the buds
are thawing under cloudy skies is
an advantage. There is not much
fear of damage tonight on account
of cloudiness and rising tempera
ture.

HALF CROP EXPECTED
IN MONTEZUMA SECTION

MONTEZUMA, Ca, March 20
Any opinion as to the condition c.
the peach crop at this moment
would be speculative, say peach
men here. The freeze last night was
moderate, with more or less lco
and there is no doubt but that con
siderable damage has been done to
the crop, and the best that can be
.hoped for at this time, it is said, Is
about half crop.
Many growers express the opin-
ion that the entire crop is lost, while
others are more optimistic, and sGy
that there will probably be about
half crop. Montezuma and vicinity
shipped five hundred cars last year,
and expected a thousand this year.
AT best, not more than two to three
b,pdrad will he shipped this year.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

When the mountain failed to come
to Mohammed. Mohammed. we are
told, went to the mountain. But to-
day telephone and radio engineers
have reversed the order of things by
bringing the mountain TO Mohammed,
so to speak.
BY the use of long distance tele-
phone wires and high-powered radio
broadcasting stations it is now possi-
BILE to bring prize fight from the
Polo Grounds, in New York city, to
the drawing room of a man in Flori-
da. Celebrated artists whose concert
tours are limited to the larger cities
are now brought to every town and
hamlet within thousands of miles of
the city in which they are singing,
and dance music rendered by the best
orchestras in the large cities may be
utilized for dancing in small country
towns.
Technically, this has been possible
for some time, but from a standpoint
of entertainment the success of the
operation began when it was found
that by using telephone circuits mu-
sic and other forms of entertainment t
could be received without the ear
splitting noises that accompanied the
early programs from distant points.
The science of radio had been de-
veloped to point where 1t was no
longer an experiment, but one obsta-
Gle remained which experts declared
to be insurmountable.
Receiving sets within a reasonable
distance of the broadcasting station
were able to obtain program of
music that was clear and distinct, but
as the distance between the receiving
set and the station Increased a pan
demonium of indescribable noises
spoiled the entertainment for all eX-
cept the dyed-in- -the-wool pioneer who
received the thrill of his life when,
upon tuning in what sounded like the
battle of Verdun, he was told that he
had just listened to a concert from
station XYZ at San Francisco.
This atmospheric condition called
static" offered a serious problem to
the radio engineers, but any one who
has ever come in contact with an
engineer knows that nothing but the
ravages of time and ultimate death
can dampen his spirit. So with char

acteristic tenacity he set about to dis
pose of his problem and imme ediately
turned to the telephone.
The whole country was network
OF telephone wires and this offered a
solution.
The first thing accomplished was to
convert the whole outdoors into a
studio. The fact that a prize fight
was being given at an isolated spot
in New Jersey made no difference to
the engineers. They knew that there
were telephone wires somewhere in
the vicinity, so it was merely a Ques-
ton of setting up some portable ma
chinery at the ringside, sending the
account of the fight over the long
distance wires to the broadcasting
station of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company in New York
and to the broadcasting station of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company in this city.
Washington is particularly fortu-
nate in being the home Of the United
States Marine Band, but pride in that
confined to the Capital city, although
hundreds of thousands of Americans
had never heard it play.
The telephone company, receiving
the hearty cooperation of the
marines, set up the necessary ma
chinery at the marine barracks and
one Monday afternoon broadcast an
experimental program. The next day,
according to the officials of the COM
pany, a flood of letters began to flow
into their Offices praising the music
and urging that this feature be made
a permanent part of the program.

the-way points, and radio is now en-
ployed in this scientific work.
Radio was the means OF sending
standard eastern time signals 1000
miles to a geological survey party
which has just finished its field work
in Alaska, after establishing seven
triangnlation stations on the coast
between Dixons Entrance and Skag-
way. Cable and land line were not
available, but by special arrange
ment the Navy. through the Annapo-
lis radio station, sent signals every
morning between 3:55 and 4:55 o'clock
An hour when they could be used
advantageously. The work is now
completed and Annapolis has ceased
to send the time.
By means of a special radio receiv-
ing set with an automatic receiving
chronograph developed at the bureau
of standards. both the second beats
of the Annapolis time signals and the
ticks of the field clock were recorded

Some geOgraphers contend that Green
land has moved westward as much
as three miles, but due to unreliable
observations, though probably the
best that could be made at the time,
this fact cannot be disputed scien-
tificialIy until series of exact longi-
tudinal bearings taken several years
apart is available. Radio is a par
ticular boon In this connection.

and by this system errors of only two

course. certain corrections for the
eastern standard signals had to be
