side to the question. It was only a
few years ago that a tire giving
5000 or 5000 miles Of service was
considered a wonder. The price
charged for that tire was no less
than that being paid today-and to-
days tires are giving from 10000 to
10000 miles of service. In reality,
the buyer at prevailing tire prices is
getting nearly twice as much for his
money as he did in the old days.
"The tire manufacturers are in the
same boat with the tire users. We
should like to produce a tire capable
Of giving 10000 miles of service and
sell it for half what we do now. But
with raw rubber at 95c or more q
pound, such a thing is impossible. The
best we can do is to manufacture the
highest quality Of tire possible and
maket it at a figure which will give
US a reasonable profit. No one car

Aids DiversificatiOn
"This is a rather large valley and
it would be impossible to get an ac-
curate estimate of the effect of 2
railroad on agricultural development.
It is certain that diversified farming
would result in an increase of the
earning power Of the land and raise
the valuation. We may therefore say
that a railroad makes diversification
Of farming possible.

way in that transportation given by
the railroads makes it possible Tol
us to secure fresh fruits and vege-
tables during the winter which are
grown in more tropical countries.
Most of US realize the service and ac-
cOmmOdation that is. We are served
by a transportation that is equalleC
nowhere in the world. Still scme
people bewail the fact that these
and other commodities cost so much
and kick about excessive freight
rates.

statements one might think it is my
purpose to champion the cause Of the
railroads but I do not champion the
cause CT railroads or any other pub

Dependence Mutual
81 have always held that the rail
road is just as much a part of the
farmers farm as his plow CT hi,
faithful team Of horses. The rail
road is the farmers way to market
It is equally true that the farmer:
farm is just as essential to the rail
road as its locomotives, cars anc
tracks, for without the farm ther,
would be little business for the rail
road, and conversely speaking withou
the. railroad there would be little bust
ness for the farmer-he would b.
circumsribed by the narrow limits C
his locality and his market woul
have to be within teaming or moto
trucking range.
And so the farmer and the railrea
are absolutely dependent upon cne an
other and when the farmer is pros
porous, so is the railroad. Whateve

There are several basic reasons
for the present high price Of rubber
and for the prediction that little re-
lief can be expected for some time"
Mr.. Werner continued. Gone is the
great increase in consumption in the
United States. Balloon tires are
rapidly coming into universal use. A
balloon tire requires five pounds more
rubber than an ordinary tire carry
ing the same load. There are 50,OOO,-
600 tires manufactured in the United
States each year, and if all were bal
looms an additional 5O,00O,00O
pounds of rubber would be used. The
Ford plant alone, by switching tc q
balloon tire basis, increased the dom
estic consumption of rubber by 2O,-
100000 pounds a year.
"Another is the vast increase in
the consumption of raw rubber in
Germany. There rubber is being used
in many ways as yet unknown in this
country. This new demand is a great
drain upon the worlds supply, and
naturally brings about price enhance
ments.
Plantations Abandoned
ga third is thief act that not so
very long ago, when rubber was sell
ling at an absurdly low figure, many
plantations were either abandoned or
neglected. In normal times, raw rub
Der can be laid down in New York
for 25 cents a pound, but at one
period we were buying it there for 16.
Growers became discouraged. Like
wheat farmers, they argued that it
didn't pay to produce at a loss, and
many discontinued operations. AS it
! takes from two and a half to three
! years to re-condition a rubber PLAN
tation, after an abandonment of even
as short time as six months, you
can see that virtually three years
must elapse before the supply reach
! es a normal volume.
"The present prices of tires are
based upon a purchase price for raw
rubber of about 85 cents a pound.
The market fluctuates, but 85 cents
is an average figure. AS long as this
average price obtains, further ad-
vances in tire prices are unlikely.
g., But r-y observation and experience
cor Gce me that a rise in the raw
SO, act price is due soon, and it will
~ veflected promptly in tire selling
figures.
Natural Law Rules
"The whole situation hinges upoI
supply and demand. There is n,
corner in the rubber market, ant
prices are not being manipulated b.
any ring. The demand for raw rub
Der is so great, and the supply of i
so inadequate, that high prices ar
inevitable. The complaint that tht
Stevenson act adopted by the British
parliament caused the sky-rocketinG
in the American rubber market is no
fundamentally true. It may hav
brought about the advance a littl
sooner, but the rise in prices was in
evitable because there is not bein,
produced today in the entire worl,
sufficient rubber to supply the de
mand.

He is a junior in high school, and
expects to attend the University of
Montana later.
Essay By Winner
One cf the conditions of cOmpeti-
tion in the contest proposed by the
Western Railways committee was
that the winner from each state
should prepare an essay on the sub
ject: What the Railroad Means to
the Farmer" The essay written by
Den Wilson is presented herewith:
"The subject, What the Railroads
Mean to the Farmer, is a rather
large one to be discussed by a All
club member. We club members
realize that we are the farmers of
tomorrow and that he big questions
of today will probably be the bigger
questions of tomorrow so we are per-
sonally interested. The question be-
ing Of personal interest I shall try
no treat it from personal and local
viewpoints.
"What are railroads? Railroad
companies are composed of thousands
Of stockholders, principally agricul-
turists, who have put their money
together and formed corporations,
which in turn have built railroads
through promising territories for
transportation purposes .Transporta-
tion enables the farmer to ship his
products to market centers where he
can sell to the best advantage.
Transportation Vital.
ct would be useless TO aise farm
products unless we had a way to ship
20 points of the greatest demand
where top prices are secured. Prog
ress cf any territory depends upon
its nearness to shipping points. Ex-
2nples of this are found right at
home. Our two hundred fifty acre
farm adjOins the Northern Pacific
railway and is within one half mile
Of the nearest shipping point We
have a small dairy herd which nets
Us practically fourteen hundred dol
lars per year for cream. At sweet
cream prices, which we receive, we
are able to buy all necessary needs
and lay some away for a rainy day.
Without our railroad we would have
TO take sour cream price for this
cream and when totalled up at the
end Of the year we would have a two
hundred fCrty-four dollar loss which
would be the same as a ten month
year. This is only a small loss il
big business but with the farmer il
IS large and must be considered.
Another, more impressing exam
pie Of progress being delayed by alb
sence Of railroads is the valley which
Is only seven miles from home. Tn,
Saltwater valley has richer soil anC
more rainfall than ours and consider
ing this fact alone it could raise
much larger quantities and bettel
quality but the truck hauler gets tn,

CURE FOR DEAD
SPOTS SEEN
At HOME
Distance-geting Set Same
as Diversified Furnace,
Says Expert.

Radio fans learned in the early
stages OF their enthusiasm that while
it is futile to argue with nature, it
is possible to circumvent her.
Nature plays some inexplicable
pranks and no one knows it better
than the radio experimenter. One OF
her meanest tricks Is the creation Of
the so-called dead spots" making re-
ception difficult. The existence of these
dead spots has been variously explained
as being caused by the shielding Of
surrounding hills, or Of metal ore de-
posits. or temporarily by certain cloud
formations, and in cities by the steel
buildings. But the explanations are
really not very pertinent; the causes,
whatever they are, usually are ire
movable. More to the point 10 the
means of circumvention.
In the opinion of William Fl. Priess,
radio technician, the basis of getting
by these natural bunkers is the quality
to reach over great distances.
"You can't very well change your
neighborhood, but you can adjust your
radio apparatus to the locality" he
said. The problem is very similar
to that Of the man whose house is
uncomfortable in cold weather because
his furnace is not big enough. He can
not do anything with the weather, but
he can get an diversified furnace which
will keep his house warm. Radio is like
that. If you live in a dead spot, you
cannot do anything with the conditions
which are responsible, but you can
build or get yourself set which will
cope with them. No other type of re-
ceiver can yield the all-around sntisfac-
ton that distancc-getter docs"

TO REDUCE INTERFERENCE.

One Of the most satisfactory meth
DDS of reducing interference is by the
use of a small aerial with every sensi-
tive radio-frcqucncy amplifiers ahead
Of the detector tube and also by the
use of very loosely coupled circuits.
Aerial wires placed parallel to electric
light or power lines in some cases pro-
duce a continuous hum. This can
be usually reduced or entirely elimin-
ated by running the aerial at right an
giles to the power line.
