Shade Tree Plans
For This City

The Lambertville Shade Tree Com
mission has been making n survey
of our streets to determine where
young trees need to be planted and
where trimming or removal of old
trees must be done.
Funds available from the city will
of course not be sufficient to do in
one year all the planting that should
be done, but ii is hoped that "A good
start can be made, after which fur
Their planting will be done from year
TO year
To enable an increase in this
years planting, however, citizens
who are willing to bear the ex-
pense of (a) buying and planting a
tree, or ID buying tree, are re-
quested to inform T.. w. Hunt, Sec
rotary Of the Shade Tree Commits
sion, AZ Delaware Ave, before March
25th. The Commission is ordering n
considerable number of trees and is
thus able to get them at wholesale
prices. Any citizen wishing to
beautify his residence and increase
the value of his property by plant
ing one or more street shade trees
will be given the advantage Of the
lowered price. Thru the Commission
the cost Of the planting can also be
lowered, or the work may be done
by the owner himself under the SUI
pervision Of the Commission.
1t is planned TO use such native
varities as sugar maple, elm, ash,
and oak, and also the oriental plane
and the Japanese ginkge where they
are better suited TO existing condi-
tions. Mr.. Kessler, assistant State
Forester, advises the Commission as
to varieties best suited to existing
conditions. When citizens donate
trees, they will of course have the
right to specify the varieties they
desire, and the Commission will see
that they are properly planted.
It is hoped that funds available
will enable the planting of trees to
fill all existing gaps on at least
one cross street in each ward, be-
sides considerable number on one
North and South street.
Citizens are reminded that utility
corporations etc, have no right to
cut or trim trees without the con
sent of the owner and the Commits
! sion, and the Commission will b.
glad to have any case of unlawful
interference with trees brought +
its attention.

Vital Subjects Dis
cassed BY PIT. Asso.

Lambertville A we'll arranged
program was presented to those who
attended the monthly meeting of the
Parent Teachers Association Friday
evening. In spite of prevailing ill
ness, there was large number
present. The first speaker was John
II. Herring, superintendent of
schools, whose topic was "The Value
of Higher Education. He has col
lected data showing salaries paid to
those who have gone through high
school, those who continued to more
advanced studies and those who took
full college course, showing that
although considerably more time was
given to life preparation. after that
the income was so much greater as
to make the years spent in college
of tremendous value. Speaking to
parents, he urged them to encourage
boys and girls to remain through a
full high school attendance and
strive to secure. the higher educa-
ton also.
Various tendencies and character
istics of children were presented.
Mrs. Thomas J. Walker spoke ON
''Temper," Mrs. Marie II. Whitcley
on "Indolence", Mrs. Thomas H.
Hunt on Honesty" and Miss Bea-
trice M. Petrie on Courtesy" All
of these speakers approached their
topics with view of aiding in the
understanding and help given boys
and girls in character forming
Rev. Harold M. Dorrell gave
talk on Teaching by Example, in
which he showed that not all the
teaching a child receives comes from
the class room, but on the streets,
in the home, in fact, wherever child
rem may observe the adults.
A question box brought out
number of discussions in relation to
the schools One subject given con
sideration was that of bad language
after leaving the schools on their
Y y home. While it was recognized
that the teachers or schools could
not be held accountable fer super
vision of the pupils up to their
arrival at home, it was felt that ad
monitor should be given in way
that would eliminate some of the
fighting and mischief that are noted
on the part of some boys.
The danger from children roller
skating in the streets and coasting
in the rear of automobiles was also
pointed out. Superintendent Herring
said that it had been suggested al
this time of the year that one block
of the asphalt street might be roped
off during the recess period each
school day and traffic diverted dur
ing that time, permitting the boys
and girls to skate in safety.
A committee that had been APP
pointed to ask the board of educa-
ton to have arrangements made
at the Third Ward School for a set
of slidinG' blackgboards to replace
solid wall so two rooms could be
thrown together, as a temporary
assembly room, reported that the
board had referred the matter to
the building committee for investi-
cation and to determine the feasa-
bilty of the suggestion.

New Bullet Increases
Range of Machine Gun

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The machine gun
of 1925 vintage, 50-caliber Browning
type, appears as challenge to the
effectiveness. of the Seixante- Quinze,
famous artillery piece Of the World
war;
Experiments and maneuvers exc
cuted by the Seventy-sixth field ar
tillery stationed at Fort D. A. Rus
sell, disclosed that the improved ma
chine gun has an effective range Of
1000 and 5000 yards and maximum
range of 1000 yards. The use of a
new design of bullet with a beveled,
streamlined base, instead of the for
mer square base, was said to be re-
sponsible for the increased range.
The gun shoots at rate of 500
bullets minute and falls on 40
degree angle on a battery redoubt.
thus being a possible factor in wiping
out an entire battery crew.

| lures were recently put on the air by
the Department of Agriculture, all de-,
signed to be of direct material adj
vantage to the farm family. These
are: A farm news digest, consisting
of short items Of agricultural news
not accessible to the average farm
reader; Fifty Farm Flashes" daily
service of so timely, practical questions
put by farmers and answered by agri-
cultural authorities; the housekeep-
er's half hour, an informal program
designed to supply both information
and inspiration to housewives, putting
at their disposal the great fund of
| facts interesting to homemakers which
are developed by the government bu-
reau of home economics and similar
research agencies and the Radio Or
der of Junior Gardeners, program es-
pecially for boys and girls but help
full also to grown-ups.
The latter, it seems to me, gives an
authoritative discussion of timely
gardening subjects. Boys and girls
who enroll in the order are later fur
nished the talks and supplementary
gardening material in printed form.
In addition to these programs,
broadcast by the government for the
direct benefit of farmers, / am told
that agricultural information of sort
that returns dividends in dollars and
cents is being distributed by radio
through more than score of state ag-
ricultural colleges. Many of these col
leges are now using radio in broad
casting their college extension courses.
One fine thing about this is that boys
and girls financially unable to attend
college are, through radio, enabled to
enroll for these courses, take their ex-
aminations and receive college credit
therefor. Radio owes great deal to
Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine, for
merly head of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college at Manhattan, Kan,
who was the pioneer in the broadcast
ing of college extension courses. AS
result of the extensive use by this in
stitution of radio as an aid to agri-
culture, under Mr.. Jardine's direction,
Kansas claims larger percentage of
farms radio equipped than any other
large agricultural state.
OF necessity, the dollars-and-cents
side of radio on the farm is often the
deciding factor as to whether or not a
farmer can afford to equip his home
with radio. But, despite any direct
financial return, it Is to be doubted,
the farmer receives through his radio,
however great, Represents its greatest
value to him.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1926-06-04

The practical results of this first
experiment, l am told, encouraged gov
eminent authorities to broaden the
service, and in April, 1921, through
arrangements with the Post Office de-
partment, wireless market reports
were broadcast several times day
from air mail radio stations in half
dozen different cities. By January,
1922, these market reports were being
relayed and broadcast by radio tele-
graph through chain of stations
reaching from coast to coast.
Then came the era Of radio tele-
phone broadcasting and with 1t the
governments radio service for farm
ers grew by leaps and bounds. Well
established schedules of weather, crop
and market reports are now broadcast
from more than 100 stations in all
parts of the country and no agricul-
tural community is out of reach of
Uncle Sans farm radio service.
A recent. study by the department,
through it's $500 county agents, of the
extent to which farmers are finding
this service of direct help in their
business brought what the govern
ment experts regard as convincing
proof that radio receiving set is now
definitely recognized as a part Of the
agricultural plant of the up-to-date
farmer Typical of this view, as ex-
pressed by these farm experts, is one
| have seen from Earl S. Miles, county
agent for Washington county, Indiana.
Farmers in this county," Mr.. Miles
reported, now think of radio In terms
of an investment that will return
profit through more intelligent selling
of live stock. The most encouraging
thing today is to see farmers, To-
Gated Is or 20 miles from a railroad,
equipped with radio and truck.
The radio keeps them informed as to
the market, and when prices are right
they can put their stock on the mar
ket within two or three hours. Before
the day Of farm radio they had to
take chances on what the market
would be when they reached the
yards"
Gardner c. Norcross, county agent
for Plymouth county, Mass, reported
still another angle of advantage for
the farmer equipped with radio. "Ra-
did," he says, has proved one of the
most effective methods of teaching bet
ter farm practices and thereby appre-
ciably increasing farm profits"
AS result of the thorough endorse
ment by county agents of the benefits
being bestowed by radio and the APP
probation voiced directly by the farm
ers themselves, four new farm fea-

Geese Eat Farmers
Entire Wheat Crop

Hankinson, N. D. = August
Bladow, farmer living near
Hankinson, saw his entire 1926
wheat crop disappear down the
throats of an immense flock of
wild geese the other day.
Jumping into his automobile,
Bladow hurried to Hankinson
and appealed to Il. II. PETIT,
game warden, to assist him in
saving the 160-acre field.
"There are thousands and thou
sands of geese there" said Bla-
dow. "They're so thick that a
man couldn't walk on the field
without stepping on them. /
have tried to chase them away,
but they're so tame they'll fly
few feet, and come right back
again"
Bladow said q nelghbor set his
dog ON the geese to drive them
from the field, but without sue
cess.
When wardens arrived with
Bladow they found that the
geese had cleaned out the 100
acre tract. High winds had I'M
covered the grain Bladow plant
ed as seed. Migrating geese
learned of the situation and
came by thousands for the feast.
