what Was Start?

According to Power, broadcasting
started in December, 1916, under his
direction, at Medford Hillside,
According to Davis, broadcasting
began on Oct. IT, 1919. at the home
Of Frank Conrad In Williamsburg, Pa.
That this three-year disparity does
not settle the question is due to the
fact that details connected with each
of these events seem to clash.
According to Power, actual broad
casting started in December, 1915.
from station IKE, call letters for his
station before the government issued
the broadcasting licenses now in
vogue. Concerts were sent out two
and three times a. week, and during
some weeks the station was on the
air every night.
But It was not until May 90, 1921,
that Power began a regular daily
broadcast program under the call
letters WGI.
Station KDKA. at East Pittsburg
however, began official broadcasting
with election night OF Nov. 2, 1920.

Years Testing
More than a year previous to this
date. Frank Conrad. Westinghouse
engineer. had begun experimenting
with radio transmission from the ga
rage Of his home at Williamsburg, Pa
He broadcast concerts every Satur-
day night.
But II was not until October OF
1920 that H. P Davis. vice president
Of the Westinghouse company, con-
ceived. the idea OF broadcasting from
his plant for the benefit Of all those
who owned radio receiving sets. He
moved Conrads idea to East Pitts
burgh, enlarged the plant and
started regular broadcasting with
election returns on Nov. 2. 1920.
According to Power, Station IKE
had been doing this for almost four
years. although official recognition
of this station SIS a broadcaster did
not come until May 20. 1921, while

Aaron Sapiro, organizer and counsel
for sixty going cooperative rep
resenting 100000 farmers in this
State.
SapIro was also instrumental in
organizing the tobacco growers Of
Kentucky. the wheat growers Of
Canada. and other groups, into CO.

now in the hands Of the middle man
They can regulate the flow from
supply to demand and can help both
themselves and the consumers.
Grows Rapidly
1.-THE cooperative movement has
grown faster in the last two years
in America than anywhere in the
world. Farmers are divided on two
courses, the political and economic
believe that the economic way,
that is, the cooperative way, is their
salvation.
I'm Denmark 90 per cent of all
agriculture is comparatively market
ed. In Russia the commodity co-ops
have been the most stabilizing force
in her recent crisis. In England the
buying co-ops have been stressed. In
America the movement bids fair to
outstrip Europe.
This year so per cent of all Ca
madam wheat, 100000, 900 bushels, is
to be pooled and sold comparatively.

Tobacco Growers Save
In Kentucky the organization Of
the tobacco growers has saved $16.-
OOO,OOO TO the growers, now being
spent in schools and things the
State needs. The cotton growers
have 100000 members in thirteen
States. The tobacco growers as
many in eleven States. In America
are today 900, 900 farmers organized
in commodity marketing co-ops
Sapiro said that four elements are
impeding the movement. They are:
1. Opposition of the speculative
middlemen. 2. Opposition Of pro-
fessional farmer leaders, who resent
farmers doing anything for them
selves. 3. The conservative farmers
who hold back because the idea is
new. 4. Natural inertia of the farm
ers.

TWO CLAIM
PARENTAGE
OF SCHEME
RACES Over Cues
ton of Who Is Father
of Broadcasting,'
BY ISRAEL KLEIN,
NEA Service Radio Editor

ri WO men claim the distinction
/ | of being "the father of broad
- casting"
They are Harold J. Power, head
of the American Radio and Research
Corporation, of Medford Hillside,
Mass and H. P. Davis, vice presi-
dent of the Westinghouse Electric
& Manufacturing Co. Of East Pitts
burgh, Pa.
Thus far this conflict over the
origin Of broadcasting has remained
practically unnoticed. Yet it is one
of the important questions in the
history of radio which will be left
for the future to decide.
Despite the wrangle over the
parental rights to this radio child,
facts produced by the claimants
point to a difference Of nearly three
years between their dates of broad
castings birth.

With the corn crop as whole un.

additional day OF chilly weather was
taken by many traders as pointing TO

much Of the crop would never reach

from the circumstance that country Of
