'The Radio Division has been very
seriously handicapped in the discharge
of its functions by the almost total lack

1T has been very difficult, for ex-
ample, to check the frequencies used
by broadcast stations, and on higher

scribed functions as best they can.
Short waves and long, audible and

discussed by Mr.. Terrell in his report.
He emphasizes the vast interest mani

to the activity of the amateurs. If

useful services. Broadly it may include
transmission and reception of moving
or still pictures of individuals or
scenes" he states.

done is 10 feed the locusts stomach

a good thing to spray on foliage to
hlll the insects, but one must be eX-
lremely careful not to get it on fruit.

he said
Although We don't realize it, the

comfortable. but as long as it re-
mains damp and chilly the locusts
VIII not become so active. Many Of
them will die without doing any
damage. If the weather becomes
real hot and muggy so that the in
scots get a chance TO become active,
then is the time to fight them"
The eternal vigilance which the
modern farmer has learned to main
tain is h lping eliminate the rayages
OF insects Of all kinds. the former

is done IN outlying sections where

evidence of damage by insects.
