Will Multiply Speech
Sounds By Radio

Signor Marconi, speaking the other
day in Rome, promised that before
long speech will be heard by radio
from a given station all over the
world at once. This promise may
well thrill the 100000 American
homes already equipped with radio
apparatus, and add impetus to the on
ward rush of an industry that is re-
ported to have grown from sales
amounting to a trivial 100000 in
1920, to s12O,OOO,OO in 1923, and by
estimate to s35O,OO0, 900 in 1924.
Assuming "a, 900 as the approx
innate number of homes in the Unit
ed States, a statistician writing in
Radio News says that nearly 13,OO0,-
900 of them have automobiles, 9,OOO,-
OO0have monographs. and 1900, 900
have radio sets.
Evidently a home without either of
these possessions is hardly TO be con-
sidered a home at ALT is merely
such n place as human beings ate
and slept in in the nineteenth CEN
fury.

ON BEGINNING THE beet HARVEST
WHILE RAPID RATE OF HARVEST WARRANTED BY PAST
EXPERIENCE TRY TO AVOID PITFALLS OF I'M
PROPER PULLING, OF POOR TOPPING,
OF TRASH AND OF SHRINKAGE

Digging notices will be in the hands of some beet
growers shortly, preparatory to starting the harvest
next week.
On account OF the generally earlier appearance of
freezing weather in this district compared with Colorado
and Nebraska, the prolonged harvest desired i'll those
states is not always a safe plan to follow here.
While each grower should arrange his harvest to in
sure delivery of his entire beet tonnage without loss from
freezing in haste should be made wisely.
Wagons should be properly equipped for delivery,
with a solid bottom, proper chains and hooks-pullers
should be adjusted to lift the beets without breakage or
gouging-piling spaces in the field should be Wed out
and cleaned.
The practice of windrowing beets instead of piling
them is wasteful. The beet contract specifies piling. In
windrowing there are generally left unpulled under the
wiudrow two or three rows to be pulled or topped later.
This tends to increase tare and to miss some beets.
Do not pull and top too far ahead of the wagon haul
ing. Beets left in the field in uncovered piles lose seven
per cent OF their weight each "a hours. The loss is great
or when the beets are left uncovered in windows. When
topped beets are to be left in the field for more than a
few hours cover them with leaves.
There is a large tonnage to be sliced by the factory
this season. Delays and reduced slicing caused by trash
in the beets will increase the hand pihng by growers and
also tend to reduce the sugar content in the beets as
sliced. 1t is therefore to the interest OF the growers to
deliver as clean a crop rs possible,
