COMPANIES BATTLE.
R. c. A. PATENT GRIP.
Manufacturers Fight What
They Call a Monopoly
! Over Inventions.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Back of the bitter opposition devel-
oped in Washington toward the pro-
posed sale of the General Electric and
Westinghouse radio interests to the Ra-
dio Corporation of America, with the
former two companies assuming stock
control of the r. G. A, is story OF
persistent effort on the part OF the
Radio Protective Association to break
the alleged radio patent monopoly"
Senator Dill of Washington yesterday
severely arraigned the project, calling
it the development of a worldwide
radio trust" He foreSaW international
ramilcations and dire consequences
from the deal.
But while the Department of Justice
was announcing that it was inquiring
into the deal, whose monopoly features
are based on the Indignation of the radio
patents and the radio manufacturing
and distributing facilities of the three
companies, the Radio Protective Asso-
citation Immediately renewed the fight
it repeatedly has carried to committees
of Congress.
Thirty Manufacturers in Group.
The Radio Protective Association con-
sistS of about 80 manufacturers of radio
equipment, only a few of whom hold
patent licenses from the so-called trust
group. At one time IS companies be-
longed to the association, whose avowed
object is to fight what they call radio
patent monopoly. oswald F. Schuette,
their secretary, maintains Offices in
Washington and Chicago.
Although not nominally member,
the GrigSby-Grunow Co. of Chicago,
last year the largest American manu-
facturers of radio sets, contributes to
the association, as does the Sparks
Wilmington Co. of Jackson, Mich, an
other large radio manufacturer Both
of these companies hold licenses to use
the patents of the r. c. A, but the
other members are relatively small man
ufacturers who are unlicensed.
To use the r. G. A. patents, which
by intercompany croSs-licenSes include
those Of the General Electric, Westing-
house and American Telephone 81 Tele-
graph Co., the major proportion of the
radio industry has been paying a fiat
royalty of 7i2 per cent on their gross
production. 1t is against this royalty,
against certain trade practices of the
r. c. A. and against the validity of
some of the patents that the Radio
Protective Association has been and is
fighting.
Had Following in Congress.
Since perhaps 80 per cent of the radio
manufacturers of the country have
taken out r. G. A. licenses, the element
insisting upon a breakdown of its pat
ent grip has been powerful in the ex-
IRENE. 1t has had a large measure of
sympathy in Congress. Now its battle
is to prevent a further indignation of
patents that will lend even more tech
nical and financial strength to the
r. G. A.

statesmen.

We are just in process of organi-
zation and can use several high-class
men with cars to sell subdivision
property under an entirely new plan.
We have more good leads than we
can handle, but they are costing real
money and we want few men who
can sell to high-class people.
Take our word for it. This is not
the ordinary advertisement. We
mean it, when we say the average
earnings in our sales organization
exceeds $3.50 weekly.
Come in and talk it over. 1t costs
you nothing and if you qualify we
can promise a pleasant, dignifed and
profitable connection. See Mr..

Phosphates and Phosphates

The question of which phosphates
to use in the fertilization of crops
which may require phosphate fer
tilizer has again been brought up
by the activities of statesmen in
the country selling raw rock
phosphates or calcium phosphate.
The county agent, having made a
special study of soil fertility prob
lens under r. w. Thatcher, for
mer director of the Experiment
station, some years ago and who
was quite a follower of G. G. Hop
kins of Illinois, who was an ardent
advocate of raw rock phosphate
for Illinois conditions, asked our
extension specialist in soils and
crops, Leonard Hegnauer, for his
advise in regard to the use Of raw
rock phosphate for this section.
This question was asked at time
when we were quoted price of $40
per ton for so percent phosphate
rock. Mr.. Hegnauer had worked
under Mr.. Hopkins in Illinois for
several years and had followed Mr..
Hopkins recommendations on the
use Of raw rock phosphate. When
this question was asked of him,
however, he stated that they were
coming more and more to the use

of superphosphate as a phosphate
fertilizer in the East, even though
it carried only SO percent of the
phosphate content of the raw rock.
In some instances, however, they
were going to triple phosphate
which has a much higher phosphate
content than the super phosphate
and yet as the availability of the
superphosphate.
In going a little deeper into this
question Mr.. Hegnauer pointed out
that raw rock phosphate was rec
commended in the East under more
or less acid conditions of soil. It
must he understood that acids are
required to react with the phos-
pilates in order to make the phos-
plate available. Since our soils
here are alkaline there is much
less tendency for our soils to react
sufficiently with the raw rock
phosphate to bring about available
ity Of the phosphate, unless one
can combine it with manures, par
ticularly in pits or with very heavy
cover crops. Hr. Hegnauer stated
that even in the East under such
conditions as they had there they
were finding that the material be-
came available too slowly; and it
seems it would be almost certain
that under our conditions this
would be true unless one could ap-
ply it under special available con-
ditions or apply it in such quaint
tiles that with a small percentage
of it becoming available that in
the aggregate a large enough
amount would become available to
make it worth while.
This, then brings up the price.
Even though the raw rock quota
ton which we had was $40 ton as
compared to present price being
quoted at $50 a ton it was Mr..
Hegnauer's opinion that this ma
terial would not be economical to
use. From logical conclusions which
could be drawn it would seem that
the raw rock phosphates would
hardly be worth more than $500
to $4,000 per ton on the basis of
results obtained from it, as COM
pared to prices of other phosphate
fertilizers. At the present time we,
Of course, also have the ammophos
combinations in which the phos-
phate is all water soluble, but
is all water soluble, but of course,
will at least become soluble when
it comes into contact with our
soils. On the alfalfa plots fertiliz-
ed this last year with ammophos
so as to give the same amount Of
phosphate to the acre as was OBJ
tanned with the 600 pound applica-
ton of acid phosphate, just as good
results were obtained with the one
year Of ammophos as were obtain
ed upon the plots on which super
phosphate has been used for two
years.

SEVERAL FROM COUNTY AT
TEND WENATCHEE MEET

The State Horticultural Associa-
ton meeting at Wenatchee Deem
Der 8, 9 and 10 was attended by
several growers and others work
ing with the fruit industry in the
county. Those attending were G.
G. Mcdonald, Prosser, who is the
president Of the Central Growers
Organization for the Yakima val
ley; w. S. Green, Kennewick, rep
resentative 10 this Organization
from the Kennewick district; w. S.
Weber, large fruit grower at Ham
ford, and Harry Hampton from Ho-
yer; Doyle Starcher, District Hor-
ticultural Inspector; Harry Linn,
Kennewick, and e. C. Durdle. Ken
newick.
The convention this year had a
very good, well-rounded program,
covering various phases of the tree
and fruit industry. While the ma
jority Of the speakers were from
our own state, Mr.. Eustace of Cal
ifornia was present to discuss
ssSelling and Advertising" and a
Mr.. Palmer Of Sutherland, B. c..
discussed the program in the up
per Okanagon for the control OF
Jonathan breakdown.
y We believe these meetings are
well worth while attending and
while the distance to Wenatchee
is rather great, yet the trip to
White Bluffs, across the ferry to
Wahluke and on up the river to
Wenatchee was very pleasant one
at this season Of the year and the
roads were in good condition. 1t
is probable that the meeting next
year will be held in Yakima, when
we feel that many Of the growers
OF the county could well afford to
attend the session.
