from stations on duJdCS4l'
quencies.
This tendency was stimulated by
the federal RADIO commissions gen
eral orders 81 and 81, in which IL
insisted that broadcasting stations
bring the standard of their equip
ment up to the present state OF the
radio art.
The immediate effect OF this ten
dencv was a higher percentage OF
incubation. better frequency staoll-
itv and better quality of reprcduc-
ton.
experimentation Biggest Step
The outstanding single develop
ment of the year i'll broadcastlng.,
however. has been the experimental
trials of synchronization.
First there was the work OF WOO
and WHO in Iowa, which stations
attained approximate synchronlza-
ton and now are able to serve a
larger area together than either
could serve alone.
Then the special experiments OF
the National Broadcasting Company
ancd the Columbia Broadcasting
system, both of which have shown
that it is entirely possible to operate
a group of stations on exactly the
same frequency and with the same
program.
The commission authorized and
encouraged these experiments and
observed their results. The benefit
to the public is that it will be en-
abled to hear any station at any
point where proper facilities may be
created.
Flying Made Safer
theoretically, there is no limit to
the number of booster stations,
which may be used to spread the
programs broadcast on any given
frequency. Thus the usefulness OF
the few broadcast channels may be
extended many fold.
Outside Of broadcasting, the big
gest development in radio in the
past year was in aviation commu-
nications A year ago only lew
passenger carrying airplanes used
radio. Today three major air trans
port routes operating across the
United States have radio in every
plane carrying passengers and mail.
BY means Of radio telephone the
pilots of these airplaneS can talk
to the ground for weather infor-
nation. landing instructions and
other necessary information.
Phones Extended to Sea
In one year plans we're developed
and this equipment was built and
installed on all our major airWays,
really remarkable achievement.
The year also saw the develop
ment of communication to the point
where passengers on board liners
at sea can talk by telephone to any
one in the United States or Europe.
In addition, 85 per cent Of all the
worlds telephones can be con-
nected.
Radio-telegraphic communication
with other countries has continued
to expand and just recently the
first direct radio circuit between
the United States and China was
opened.
In our larger cities 1880 was the
first big year in the development of
police radio.

S350,O00 IN TRAPPING
Skunk Most Sought in Indiana
With Muskrat Second.

One Of Indianas little known in
misunderstanding -brought in an
estimated revenue of $350,000 to
HoosierS last winter, according to
experienced fur buyers, and Walter
Shirts, superintendent of the state
fish and game department.
The winters revenue is expected
to be somewhat less because of a
lower fur price.
Most trapping in the state is done
by school boys, although there still
are few veteran trappers left. The
skunk is the most valuable fur bear
ing animal in the state, and musk
rats are considered second, Shirts
said. Other animals in the state
sought by trappers are opoSsum,
raccoon, mink, fox and wolf.

School city of Indianapolis today
closed it's most prosperous year, the
annual report of A. B. Good, bust
ness director, showing cash bal
ance of 1911 ,27504, as against $49,-

Lack of discord which character
lied school boards of former years
was commented on freely by board
members in pointing out fulf1llment
of promises made by the school

per cent of the total as compared
with l per cent anticipated
shrinkage when the 1880 bundget
was made.
The board adopted a resolution
paying $574,075 into the sinking
fund as interest against the $11, 481,-
500 outstanding bonded indebted
ness. Total taxes received amounted
to 5000, 408.81.

VEGETABLE GARDEN

Home gardeners who devote q part
of their back yards to growing vegeta-
bles are already making progress, par
ticularly those who have hot beds or
even cold frames. The hot bed and
the cold frame are alike in construction,
the principal difference being that the
hot bed Is supplied with some heating
medium such as fermenting, strawy ma
nure, hot water, hot air or even electric
dant manure, hot beds were very COM
mon; now they are very rare, except
in commercial and large estate gardens.
It is very doubtful If the hot bed. un-
der present economic conditions, de-
serves a place in the small garden, but
the cold frame surely does fill a useful
place throughout the whole year. Hot
beds and cold frames are generally built
feet in width and in multiples OF B.
foot lengths to accommodate the ordi-
nary 6x3-fOot sash. The frame itself
may be constructed of boards, plank,
brick or concrete, to suit the owners
fancy or needs. In the permanent bed
the soil should be changed or Sterilized
every year or two to prevent accumu-
lation of disease spores, whereas the
temporary bed may be simply lifted
bodily and transferred to a new situa-
ton.
The modern gardener is apt to rely
on the commercial grower for bedding
and vegetable plants. This is possibly
as it should be, for the commercial
grower has small greenhouses or large
plant beds adapted for plant growing.
At present prices the annual outlay for
new plants would scarcely pay for the
animal manure necessary to establish
hot bed, to say nothing of the con-
slant care needed to keep the plants
growing favorably.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

Truthfully it may be stated that
much of the progress in amateur gar
dening in our vicinity may be traced
directly or indirectly to the garden
clubs The Washington suburban area
is now fairly effectively covered by gar
den clubs and, although there Is still
place for more, it is difficult to name
any large suburb that does not have q
gardening organization of some kind
whether it be distinct club or COM
mittee from some larger civic associa-
ton.
Membership in a garden club brings
many returns, some directly measurable
in money savings and others less tan
eible. but none the less valuable. Here
is an opportunity to learn of new spe-
cies and varieties of trees and plants
suitable to the region and to learn how
to take care of plants after they are
purchased. The flower shows spon-
sored by the garden clubs are fine class
rooms of practical botany, a chance for
the home owner to get acquainted with
flowers and to select for his own gar
den. Finally the garden club may save
money for its members by making
wholesale purchases and by obtaining
discounts from dealers in garden seed
fertilizers and tools.
Needless to say, the garden club
movement is not passing fad. The
garden club has made place for it
self by real service and it is a wise

THE ROSE GARDEN

Buds are breaking ON the rose plants
and their presence or absence shows
even better than the trained eye where
Winter injury has not or has occurred.
As an aid in giving the rose plants q
strong start, the soil In the beds should
be Spaded and fortified literally.
Spraying the plants and the underlying
soil with Bordeaux mixture is a good
initial move in the campaign against
black spot disease. Here and there a
plant may have been completely killed
and should be replaced as soon as pos
sible. Late Autumn is the logical time
for planting roses in this region, but
Spring Is often quite as successful. The
Fall-planted rose has to face possible
Winter injuries and the Spring planted
rose may be subjected to hot, dry
weather before it has reconstructed its
root system
OF fertilizers for the rose, rotted stable
manure is undoubtedly the best ma
terial, but any substance such as bone
meal, dried blood or dry sheep manure
win give fine results. In the case of
the concentrated fertilizer, a handful
or two every few weeks will give better
results than piling on an excessive
quantity at one time. The monthly
blooming roses such as the Radiances
have busy task at the best, bloom
ing as they do at repeated intervals
throughout the growing season, and
need abundant plant food at all times.
Varieties there are almost without
end, but the list of those which will
thrive with only ordinary care is not
large. If all the rose plants that are
set out each year lived, Washington and
vicinity would be almost literally q
great rose garden. One reason why
such varieties as the pink and the red
Radiance dominate the situation Is their
superior vigor. Many of the more
delicate varieties are almost certain to
perish unless given the best of cultural
and spraying care.

the small city place than in The open
fields.
This is a good time Of year for
renovating the lawn or making q new
lawn, the sooner the better that the
young plants may become we'll rooted
before real hot weather. One fact
stands out clearly, that whatever effort
is put into preparing the area for seed
ing is well worth while. One cannot
expect a fine, thick stand of grass on
unfertilized soil. especially on stiff clay
thrown out in grading operations.
Rightfully, the lawn should be prepared
as thoroughly as the vegetable or flower
garden If this care were taken, many
of the troubles of maintenance would
disappear. More often the surface is
merely spaded lightly or raked deeply
and grass seed broadcasted... Rough
preparation of this kind, If supported
by liberal fertilization, may make a
very fair lawn, but cannot be recon-
mended as good practice. The young
grass has to compete with weeds and
obviously the better the seeded is
prepared, the sturdier and more rapid
the growth.
