RADIO is HELPING IN
RECLAIMING THE SAHARA

Washington POST
The conquest of the Sahara has been
seriously begun. The development OF
the radio system enables the caterpil-
lar caravans 10 keep in touch with
the outside world and, il necessary,
invoke assistance. French engineers
are now studying the system of artes-
ian wells in Australia, by means Of
which the central desert of that is
land continent is being slowly but
surely conquered
The Australian territory is divided
into eight principal artesian basins,
covering n surface of approximately
472 900 square miles. The first artes-
ian well was driven at Blaehall in
1888. In 1904 there were LIP such
wells in all Australia. Ten year.
later these had increased to 5000,
while today there are 1926, of which
,635 are spouting wells, 1861 non
zpouting and the remainder still
under construction.
IL Is believed that the same system
could be applied TO the Sahara desert,
thereby reclaiming the land. II this
be so, il will insure the construction
of the trans-Saharan railway. the
plans Of which are at present before
the French parliment. Thus an i'm
mense productive territory will be
added to Frances colonial empire.

GRADING CREAM RESULTS IN
MORE MONEY FOR PRODUCER

Agricultural College News Notes.
The price that any creamery re-
ceives for its butter depends upon
what IL will score on the open mar
ket. The butter score that the cream
cry gets on the market depends up
on the kind of raw material that goes
into the butter. This being true, the
creameries can pay more money for
good, clean-favored, sweet cream.
than they can for sour or off-favored
cream. This fact has been demonst-
rated by the creameries on the West
en Slope of Colorado. II has also
been demonstrated by the producers
on the Western Slope that with the
advantages furnished by nature, such
as an abundance of cool, running
mountain water, it is possible with
very little more effort to sell sweet
cream regularly TO the creameries or
cream station.
With these facts in mind and the
willingness Of the majority of the
creamery firms to pay a premium.
(which was three cents), for sweet
cream, the State Dairy Commissioner
issued regulation requesting all
creamery firms purchasing cream in
the territory west of and including
Pagosa Junction, Salida, and south of
and including Axial to grade cream on
the sweet and sour basis, using the
hot water test to determine the grade.
When this regulation was made the
commissioner was aware of the fact
that cream which barely feathered or
curdled in hot water, If of clean flavor,
would make just as good butter as
strictly sweet cream. But in order to
make the grading success it was
further realized that clean-cut, SIM
pie, definite and practical standard
must be used. The hot water test
was adopted in that it met the re-
quirements mentioned above and is
easily understood by all parties con-
cerned.
Now that you know how the grading
originated you will be interested in
the results. Records show that
2,790,043 pounds of churning cream
were purchased in the territory desig-
mated above and operators graded 80
per cent of it as sweet and the pro-
ducers were paid three-cent prem
ium for the sweet cream. This means
that the producers of sweet cream in
the above designated territory receiv-
ed $50, ,787.51 more for their cream
than they would if the creameries had
not graded. Now, if all the churning
cream produced in this territory had
been sweet. sweet-favored cream, the
creameries would have been able to
make butter (as number did) and
would have secured 80 on the Los An
geles or Chicago market. II the
above statement had been true, the
creamery firm would have realized
s1O5, ,53g.4S more for their butter thar
they did and the producer would have
received S12,913.7S more, or total
of $73, ,701.2s.
Ii a producer does not get sweet
cream price for his cream he should
not feel that he is being docked, be
cause he is not; the sour cream price
is about the same over the entire state
after due allowances have been made
for competition and express charges
The producers as whole in thu
grading territory ON the Western
Slope can consider themselves $50,
7B7.51 better of by having the natur
Al advantages to produce sweet cream
and coming under the regulation is
sued by the State Dairy Commis

What Are the Facts?

A bulletin issued December list. 1928. by
the Research Department of the National
Association OF Farm Equipment Manu-
facturers gives the jGcts contained in this
important message. These facts prove two
things: First, that although farmers have
unfortunately suffered great losses during
the dcflation period, the farm equipment in
dustry has been badly crippled too. Second,
that although misunderstanding and lack Of
Information have led some to the belief that
farm equipment prices are high, the fact Of the
matter is that they are actually low in COM

Only small part of the farmers operating
expense is chargeablc to his implements.

few generations ago practically 90 per cent Of
population worked the farms to feed themselves
and the 10 per in the cities. Today 80 per cent
rase food enough for themselves and the 20 per
in the cities. Yet farm machines which make all
this possible and which have brought the farm all
the good things OF life, can be charged with only
to per cent OF the total yearly farming expense.
The farm machine industry. the most basic OF all,
and directly responsible for farm wealth. holds very
modest position in proportion with its usefulness.
Farm machines have taken comparatively few OF the
farmers dollars. but these have created the wealth
which makes radio sets, electric lights, automobiles
pianos. and education possible on the farm.

Implement prices are not high.

Implement prices are low compared with prices
asked for other commodities the farmer buys; low
compared with the increased cost OF materials and
labor entering into them; and low considering the
amount OF money they save farmer today as
compared with pre-war days
Do you know tha, the price Of oak lumber is three
times high as it in 1914 that pole stock is ~
times high in 1914, pine Grating twice as high
steel bars 2B times soft pow steel and cold
rolled steel twice high pig iron 4 times. coke

ion TO these increases in material COSTS the very
important item OF labor has than doubled since

Over and above these increases in labor and ma

has had be added the price the farmer pays,
only the finished product that the dealer delivers
