Washington. Aug 17.-P-Be-
ginning October /, three new feature
programs for farmers will be broad
cas-, by stations cooperating with the
radio service of the department of
agriculture.
The new programs are the "Ra-

broadcast for the past five years will
be continued. with some changes.
Probably the most important in
novation will be RECONCILIATION of
the programs. says Morse Salisbury.
chief of the service. Each OF five
major farming zones will have
specially adapted programs.
The Farm Forum will be a daily
meeting of radio club for the dis
cussion OF farming problems, with
weekly periods devoted to subjects
and poultry.
From the weather bureau and the
bureau of entomology and biolog-
ical survey the weekly Outdoors

of plant animal and insect life as
teorology.
the Farm Science Sna pshots'
will carry a weekly digest of vital
announcements in the field OF
scientific agricultural research.
Old favorites on the program will
be Housekeepers' Chats, Farm

days exposure the tuhers may be

While the sun cure Is advanced as
a beneficial practice. care must be
exercised to eliminate from the stor-

bruised potatoes. The healing process
may not have been omplete. and in
the low temperature OF storage the
injuries may offer entrance to spores
of the fungus.
Care in harvesting and handling,

RAILS SUBJECT TO
NUMBER OF faults
Can Seldom Be Detected Until
Damage Is Done

Washington. Aug. II P,-The
cleaning network of rails which
covers the country and has contrib
uted incalcula bly, to the development
of modern civilization is subject to
q number of ills. and the most in
sidious of these is the transverse
fissure.
This fault. which has been called
rail cancer and can seldom be
detected until the damage is done,
was first identified nearly II years
ago after a wreck on the Lehigh
Valley railroad at Manchester. N.
Y. in which number of lives were
lost. Since then it has been recog-
nized as the cause of number OF
derailments.
THE transverse fissure," says W..
P. Borland, director of the Bureau
of Safety OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission. lis very prom
inent cause of wrecks. and they are
generally bad wrecks. The physi-
cal reasons for their display seem
explainable."
1t is essentially d fatigue frac-
ture of interior origin" he explains,
but is unlike the ordinary mani
festations of rail fatigue in that it
gives no warning of its growth by
means of cracks or other visible
evidence until it has actually reach
ed the outer surface. The nearest
approach to development of a de-
vice for detecting its presence be-
fore the affected rail cracks up I'M
der a train has been made by FL
mer A. Sperry. the New York in
ventor, Mr.. Borland says, but it has
not vet proved satisfactory under
service conditions. although it has
proved effective in laboratory tests.
DR.. James f. Howard, engineer
physicist of the bureau, whose pro-
fessional record covering about half
a century of scientific investigation
shows that he has made more eA-
act tests on the physical properties
of materials than any other living
man, has been studying the trans
verse fissures since the Manchester
wreck. They occur, he has learned
IN new as we'll as old rails OF all
types.
Starting from nucleus INSIDE
the rail head. he has found thai
they are almost invariably on the
side where the wheels implnge and
ARE caused by the introduction OF
internal strains in the head OF the
rail set up by the action of the
wheel pressure on the running sur
face of the head
THE internal strains directly IN
troduced are strains of compress

strains of compression the meta

formed in that zone of metal which

Investigators have been unable
to find any metallurgical reason fol
the origin of the fissVres, nor have

they are ultimate results of service
conditions or defects in the milling
processes. Progress toward solu'
ton has been made. however, and
