Good Farm Year Will
Help to Sustain Pros
Perity Of Country

Agriculture has been fairly profit
able this year and the improved pur-
chasing power Of farmers will do much
to uphold general economic well-being
through the winter, the United States
Department of Agriculture declares in
its October report on the agricultural
situation. The department points out,
however, that while conservative judy
ment Of the recovery Of agriculture
Is warranted, farm prosperity can be
as easily over-rated as depression.

enable needs. The two great money
crops, cotton and wheat, are now along
where some idea can be gained Of
their value. Cotton apparently stands
to bring its producers an income Of
approximately $1,000, 100000, which il

Gov. Smith Uses Radio For Referendum

In foggy weather, characteristic
group of dashes is transmitted at reg
ular intervals. From the combination
of dashes, a ship radio operator can
determine the location of the transmit
ter, and by taking observations with
a loop receiver he may compute his
ships position.
The transmitter is of the vacuum
tube type, and the whole equipment
is installed in duplicate so there will
be no failure in sending out the warn
ing signals. Ships have been able to
take their bearings from this station
while over $50 miles distant.
This radio beacon is the first of six,
that the U. S. Department of Com
merce is planning to install on the
Great Lakes.

about 81 ,OOO,0O0,OO0, which is also
near or slightly below last year.
"These two leading crops probably
index the general crop income. Agri-
cultural income will not be greatly in
excess of last year, but the point is
that this is the second fairly profitable
year. The season win go long way
to level up regional conditions. The
Corn Belt along with the dairy and d.
versified East have been slow to feel
the stimulating current of revival, but
now the rising prices of hogs and
cattle, together with a reasonably good
corn crop mean some profit in the Corn
Belt. The slowly strengthening prices
for dairy products plus higher pota-
toes and minor cash crops promise
somewhat better income for the East.
The whole agricultural map thus slow
ly energies from economic shadow"
Discussing the situation by key
regions, the department says:

potato digging, fruit harvest and fall
work generally. Potato yields are dis

1.-The Range Country has the cattle
and sheep movement to market well
along. Stock is moving down from the
high range to winter pasture. There
is heavy demand for ewes. Many
eve lambs are being held back on
range and many old ewes shipped to
farm fiocks for breeders. Some cat
tlemen are stocking up where re-
sources are favorable, and the whole
region is improving in tone.
"On the Pacific Coast the apple and
grape harvests are well along. Prunes
are picked. Grain is mostly threshed.
Fall seeding is about finished in the
north, though hindered by dry weather.
The same is true of winter trucks in
the south. Cotton is being picked in
the south. Rice and citrus fruit are
developing well. The general senti-
ment is moderately optomistic."
The departments index of the rel
alive purchasing power of 80 farm
products is placed at 93 for August
compared with 81 in July, the five year
7904-14 average of 100 being used as
base.

Governor AL Smith of New York
State has on several occasions, used
the radio to lay important legislative
matters directly before the public.
This method of putting the more i'm
portant problems directly up to the
voters has been warmly approved by
both Democratic and Republican lead
ers, and is going to be effective in
influencing the legislators votes.
For years, the radio stations have
been encouraging their audience to
respond to their programs with let
tiers of applause and comment. And

Dairy situation is rather static but
improves rather than otherwise.
"The South is generally under the
ban of dry weather. Drought and heat
have been a real catastrophe in north
ern Georgia and portions of the Caro-
linas. The whole Piedmont region is
hard hit. The cotton crop is spotted
but generally fairly good. Picking is
well along and ginning has been
heavy. Feed crops have been short
ened by dry weather. General condi-
tions are fairly good except in drought
areas.

good grain. The region is busy with
the late harvest and fall work. Winter
grain has been planted under favor

situation generally favor optimism.
"The Wheat Belt has winter wheat
about finished. Local estimates of
acreage vary but general indications
are of some increase over last fall.
Spring wheat yields are only fair but
grain is excellent quality and prices
are stimulating. Threshing is prac-
tically finished. The general result

On. E. S. asks: "How can ! tell
what is the proper size Of grid leak
for my set?"
Ans.-You can best tell while trying
various sizes while listening to both
strong and weak signals. When too
low a resistance is used, the set will
become insensitive. When the resis-
lance is too high, the set is likely to
"howl" and loud signals may cause
distortion.

of the Edison type of storage cells,
should fresh electrolyte be added as
the solution evaporates, or should
water only, be added?"
Ans.-Add water just the same as
you would for the ordinary lead type
batteries.

Station KOA of Denver, Colorado,

infinite variety that no player can ever
hope to master all its quirks and turns.
Even the best of players lose their iudg-
ment at times and allow their own hand
to influence their bidding to their dis
advantage when they should realize
that their partner has an unusual or
freak hand. The other night, the writer
noticed two examples Of this failure to
be on the lookout for the unusual or
freak type of hand.

that IL his partner had justihable three

hearts, and bid three no-trump although
there was no sure game in no-trump.
The 100 aces we're too much for his
judgment and as a result he went down
three tricks undoubled, net loss of so
points on hand that would have scored
game at hearts. His partners hand was

His partner dealt and passed, second
hand passed and he bid one spade
When his partner overbid with two
clubs, he correctly bid two diamonds.
His partner bid three clubs and he bid
three diamonds. This bid is doubtful
but when his partner bid four clubs, he
should certainly have passed. He never
stopped to realize that such bidding by
his partner indicated most unusual
hand, one of the freak type and that his
high cards in three suits would be OF
great help to his partner and that his
partners clubs would be of little value
to his own hand, if he should obtain the
bid at diamonds or spades. In spite OF
all these cogent reasons, however, he

AT clubs, they could have lllAde FIVE
odd, losing only one club and one dia-
mond trick; while at diamonds they
went down two tricks. 1t is fine ex-
ample of what not to do with big
hand. Play for the game, first, last and
all the time, whether the hand is played
by yourself or your partner. Always be
willing to concede the bid to your part
ner when the bidding indicates that he
has freak hand. In the hand just con-
sidered, the dealer could have saved a
lot of trouble by making an original bid
Of Ave clubs. 1t is perfect example of
the preemptive or shut out bid. II the
bid fails, it will certainly save game; 50
that, in either event, 1t Is winner.
As contrast to his bad bidding, the
player whose bids have just been criti-
cixed played the following hand very
cleyeriy:

responding. When the facts concern
ing legislative problem are clearly,
fairly, orderly and interestingly stated
to the radio audience, that audience
is certain to respond with letters to
the legislators. This is highly de-
sirable state of affairs as it more
nearly approaches the ideal represen-
tative democracy.
Of course, the idea of appealing to
the voters to write their legislators
is not novel, but the method of appeal
ing by radio has many obvious ad-
vantages over the old method of hold
ing numerous public meetings.
Like any good thing though, the
use of the radio for Legislative propa-
ganda must not be overdone. Presis-
tent political harrangue about every
little problem which arises, would soon
deaden the listeners interest in radio,
as well as in politics.

" NE of the greatest faults. and
one of the most common, in
III putting is a players tendency
to hit the ball too easily. Just a
seconds thought will show them
their error, but until 1t is definitely
pointed out to them they seldom
think of it,.
What I mean is that among the
average players, most Of them putt
to within a few inches Of the cup,
but not hard enough to reach the
cup. 1t stands to reason, does 1t
not, that a putt that does not reach
the cup can never fall in?
Watch the good players. You will
find that when they miss a putt they
have overshot the cup a little. never
come short of 1t. Also you might
notice how often the poor putters
come short of the cup and how the
good ones go beyond when they
miss.
And another thing. hit the ball

something to be corrected and It will
