LEADS IN RADIO AERIALS.
San Francisco Chinatown Has 90
Sets in One Block.

SAN FRANCISCO, February g.
Chinatown holds the local record for
the greatest number of aerials to the
block. In one square there are 23tsets.
The picturesque Oriental roofs are a
maze of these wires.
The elder Chinese like the music
best, as it is difficult for them to un-
derstand radio talks, but their chill
dren, all students at American schools,
interpret them rapidly.
Con San-mue, interpreter for the i'm
migration service. recently wrote to
one of the broadcasting stations
Automobiles are so numerous in
Chinatown on Sundays that | am
afraid to let my children go out upon
the streets, but since l have built my
radio set they are content to stay at

Australia's Experiment Fails.

The Australian experiment of pay
ing for broadcasting by selling sets
sealed TO receive only at a certain
wave length seems to have proved a
failure. The government has re-
scinded it and sets are now sold
open" which means that they may
be tuned to an, .'ave length. Each
set owner will have to pay an an
nual fee Of about $40. the proceeds
of which will be distributed by the
government among the licensed
broadcasting stations.

Cuts Wave Length.

Placing condenser in series with
your aerial or ground will materially
reduce the wave length Of your re-
ceiVing set. If you cannot reach the
higher waves on your set, this may
be the cause. Place the condenser so
that one side is connected to the
aerial and the other to the ground ;
this is parallel connection and will
increase the length range of
the set

ReheXinE More Than One stage.
Part !.
So far we have studied the evoIu-
ton of radio circuits in which only
one reflex stage was used. AS a hrst
step in the study of reflex circuits
and in the first experiments with this
type of circuit, the novice should stick
to the one stage reflex circuit until
he has mastered that type OF circuit.
Greater efficiency can be obtained
when more than one reflex stage is
used, but the results obtained with
them are not ordinarily satisfactory,
and care. patience and a knowledge
Of the characteristics and peculiari-
ties of reflex circuits and their be-

to purchase a grid leak. II Is such a

Tight Aerial Works Best.

An aerial that is permitted to
swing may produce jerky and uncer-

Is stretched, the better it is for the

aerial in such a manner that ii can
be made tight and that nothing will
loosen it.

Harvest by Machine

It is an exciting time on the farm
when the wheat is harvested, and
the work is very hard, although a
great amount of the labor done for
merly by hand is now done by mod
ern machinery. First the grain is
cut. In olden times and in many
backward countries today men cut
the wheat by hand with scythes or
sickles, or with a device they can
the cradle" This is a large scythe
which carries a framework to col
lect the grain as it is cut. Cyrus
Fl. Mccormick. an ingenious Ameri.
can, fastened a number Of little
blades or scythes to n shaft and
made a wonderful reaping machine
that cuts the wheat, gathers 1t in
bundles with the heads all one way
and ties the bundles Of grain. The
bundles are then stacked into shocks
in the field so the sun will dry them,
and they are left standing until the
grain is ready to be threshed or
separated from the straw. This is
done by a big threshing machine,
which is run by power furnished by
a traction engine. In some of the
big fields of the Northwest a wonder
full combination binder and thresher
is used. This cuts a swath of wheat,
sometimes thirty feet wide, and
thre,,hes and sacks the cut grain
as it travels slowly over the field.
After the wheat is threshed it is
ready for market. In every small
town in wheat growing regions of
the United States, there is q grain
elevator to store and load wheat.
Usually the farmer brings his grain
to this elevator and sells it to a
middle-man, who in turn sells it to
the great wheat buyers at the
principal markets of the world.
The buying and selling Of wheat
for future delivery has given rise at
various places to speculative mar
kets. The most famous Of these in
this country is the Chicago Board
of Trade. where buying and selling
of all sorts of grain goes on in
various pits" The great world
wheat market is Liverpool and it is
to this port that most Of the export
supply Of wheat goes.

helpless as he formerly did when he
found them in his wheat fields.
The wheat grows rapidly and in
a few weeks 1t has headed out"
and grains of wheat fill the heads.
When the grains first reach a fairly
good size they are plump and soft
and filled with a milky fluid. Later
they become solid but not hard.
Slowly the plant loses its green
coloring and changes to lighter hues.
At last comes the golden yellow,
which tells the farmer that the
wheat is nearly ready to be har-
vested. A great field Of golden
wheat billowing in the wind, stretch
ing away as far as the eye can see,
is one of the most inspiring sights
in nature. The wheat must be har'
vested at just the right time. If
the grain is too ripe much will be
scattered and spilled in the field,
and If 1t is not ripe enough it will
not keep well. Farmers say the
wheat is ready to be harvested when
the wheat grain is hard enough so
that it cannot be crushed, yet soft
enough to be denied with the finger
mil

- n North America wheat makes
up one-ffth of the diet OF

European countries it's Importance

over all other grains is due in part
TO the one fact thaS it keeps and

no other grain combines so many
valuable bread-making qualities.
Wheat gluten IS better adapted than
that of any other grain to make

better bread than is made of wheat
is a homely proverb used Of a man

Wheat is mentioned many times
in the Bible. Egypt cultivated it at
a very early date in the rich valley
of the Nile. The Chinese were grow
ing wheat thousands Of years before
the Christian era. and they have a
legend that it was a direct GIT
from Heaven to man.
Wheat is a member of the grass
family. other members OF the
same family which are used for
food are corn, rye, oats and barley
but wheat is by far the most largely
used. There are many varieties OF
wheat. Some OF the wheat berries
are harder than others. Some Of the
heads have long "beards" or hair
like spikes that cover the grain, and
others are nearly beardless. In North
America the most important classes
are spring wheat and winter wheat.
Winter wheat is planted in the au-
tumn and starts to grow before
winter Spring wheat is planted IN
the spring.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-11-30
Must Suit Soil

Verieties of wheat must be- care
fully selected to suit the soil and
climate. where they are TO be grown
soft starchy wheats being adapted
to moist climates. and hard glutinous
wheats to dry climates. The flour
from soft wheat is superior for pies
and pastries, but that from hard
wheat makes better bread, though
until the introduction of the gradual
reduction roller process of milling
hard wheat did not make as white
a flour as the soft starchy wheat
and was therefore less priced. The
roller process, enhancing the value
of hard spring wheat, was largely
responsible for the wheat boom OF
the Northwest and the shifting of
the wheat-growing region from the
Atlantic seaboard to Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Western Canada.
The ground is prepared for wheat
growing by blowing. Then steel
toothed harrows go over 1t to break
UP the clods. Drill seeds follow the
harrows and drop the seed through
pipes in little rows. Behind each
pipe is a small pillow like a garden
trowel which covers the grain. Be-
fore the seeder came into use men
carried bags Of grain swung over
their shoulder and sower the seed
broadcast, as in Millet's great picture
of the 1.-THE Sower."
Has Many Enemies
Wheat, like most living things. has
hard struggle to live, because of
it's many enemies. In the spring the
wheat plants must have rain, and at
harvest time warm sunshine to ripen
the grain. In dry summers chinch
bugs feed on the young plants and
kill them. In cool, moist summers
the Hessian fly lays eggs on the little
plants, which hatch into destructive
worms. Then there are rusts and
smuts and other fungus growths
which also do enormous damage.
Methods of fighting each of these
pests have been discovered, and the
