with more than $4,000 radio sets,
while Michigan. the tenth highest,
boasts of more than $4,000.

BY reason Of their isolation. farm

The bureaus survey disclosed that
radio dealers are not taking advan-
tage Of the possible market for radio
sets on the farms. In no State have
these dealers pressed for sales very
actively, but In places where aggres-
sive salesman have visited. the num-
ber of sets on farms have materially

those who conduct broadcasting sta

ultural lectures. instructions on vari-
Gus subjects from their agricultural
colleges and experiment stations. A

FANS TO TAKE PART

Although only a small percentage
Of radio listeners will be able to par

ed that all receivers capable of tuning
in signals on lengths below IS meters
will cooperate In the experiment.
The series of transmissions, which
will be conducted from April 3 to
April 90, win include the rebroad-
casts of the WGY program on 32.79
meters and 65.5 meters from Wednes-
day noon to Thursday noon and from

ing during those hours supplemental

The telegraphic signals also will be
continued over the "a hours on the

and reports from listeners the degree
to which the short wave may be EN-

AUR0RA'SEFFECT
ON RADIO SLIGHT
%uIIneSS" of Ether Chief Re-
suit of Magnetic North
ern Lights.
BY CARL III. BUTMAN.

Radio experts are not all in accord
as TO whether the recent unusual IN
reference encountered by many broad
cast listeners was due to the aurora
borealis. Some believe that. indirectly
at least, the northern lights were re-
sponsible; others point out that their
observations showed no relation be-
tween the aurora and the so.called
"blanketing."
Engineers of the Radio Corporation
of America now point out that the eff
feet of the aurora did not interfere
seriously in the handling of CONNER
Cial traffic but, on the contrary. seem
ed TO improve reception conditions by
reducing the Objectionable radio back
ground and creating what they term a
silent atmosphere.
Scientific opinion as to the exact
cause of the aurora borealis is divided.
The display is by no means rare in
the northern countries, particularly
in Scandinavia, and has on occasion
been observed as far south as Penn
Sylvania. However, it's electrical ef
fectS are felt over a large part of the
world.
Last One January 26.
The last vivid display OF the aurora
horealis took place on January 26.
Early in the morning operators of the
Radio Corporations receiving station
at Belfast, Me, reported an apparent
'deadneSS" of the atmosphere. in
vivid contrast to the normal animated
background. There was absolute
calm except for the signals which
though seemingly dull. Suspecting
the cause to be an exceptional display
of the aurora borealls, the radio men
oueried the NORWAY tranSoceanic Stah.
who reported brilliant spectacle in
the northern sky.
Meanwhile observations were made
at the regular tl'ansoceanic receiving
station at Riverhead, Long Island.
Here the effect was far less notice
able. than farther north at Belfast,
probably due to the difference in lati-
tude. If anything. there was an ap-
preciable improvement in incoming
signals at Riverhead.
Ground Wires Affected.
The most marked effect Of the au-
rora borealis was noted in the opera
ton of the II. G. A. wire lines, OF
which there are some 1900 miles out
of New York City. passing through
the States of New York, New Jersey.
Connecticut. Rhode Island. Massachu-
setts, Delaware, Maryland and the
District of Columbia. The land lines
are used TO connect the various trans
oceanic and marine transmitting and
receiving stations with the traffic
offices, as well as to hook up the
broadcaSting stations of the r. c. A.
group. Considerable ground currents
We're noted on the wire lines, but the
sy stem at no time was in danger of
interruption. The short-wave radio
link between the Belfast station and
the New York traffic office performed
f1awlessly all through the display.
For two days the aurora borealis
held sway. At first transoceanic radio
signaling speed was reduced. but as
the operators became more familiar
with the altered state of the atmos-
phere the radio circuits were brought
up by easy stages to q speed OF 80 to
80 words per minute. and conditions
seemed to improve as the effect con-
rinued.
