DECLINE SHOWN BY
CROPS IN CANADA

Ottawa. Ont, August 12.-(AP)-
During July there was fairly gen.
eral Improvement in crop conditions
IN the maritime provinces and Que
bee. the government reported We'd
nesday, but this appreciation was
more than offset by slight declines
IN Ontario, Manitoba, and British
Columbia and greater depreciation in
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The re-
port issued by the dominion bureau
of statistics on the condition of field
crops as of July 81 states:
The principal grain crops declined
IN condition during the month, with
the greatest decreases in flax, wheat,
and barley. Potatoes were slightly
lowered in prospects. Pasture, buck
wheat, mixed grains, sugar beets and
turnipS were higher in condition at
the month-end. The corn crop has
been limited in growth by the dry.
cold weather.
The effects of the month of July
on western wheat prospects present
a complete contrast to the fairly
general improvement shown in June
With minor exceptions in each pro-
vince, practically the entire wheat
area declined in condition during
July, with the most marked deprecia-
ton in the southern districts where
wheat production is concentrated.
Although further statistical evidence
is lacking, this decline in condition
has proceeded during early August,
the report says.

Work on Scheme to
Aid Russian Trade

New York, Aug. 12-lP)-A concert
ed program to restore Russian Amer
lean trade to its former levels-over
100000 year-had advanced to
a pont Thursday where it was evi-
dent that the largest remaining prob
lem to be solved was that of Russia's
ability to furnish suitable guarantees
for credit.
James P. Warburg, president OF the
International Acceptance Bank. Inc,
it was learned, is now in Europe
where he is believed to be studying
Russia's record in its dealings with
European countries.
Wall Street banking interests re-
ported unofficially the United States
government is in favor of any we'll
founded plan which would serve to
open up the large Russian markets to
American goods. Whether the ques-
ton of Russian recognition might be
involved could not be ascertained.

S0rghums and Sudan
Are Fatal to Cattle

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 12.-"Avoid turn
ing cattle on wilted pastures in which
there are sorghums or sudan grass"
is the warning issued by E. j. Thomp-
son, animal husbandman of North Da-
kota Agricultural College. Dry season
causes these plants to wilt, at which
time they contain prussic or hydro
cyanic acid. This often kills cattle
within very few minutes of grazing.
Several losses of cattle have been
reported to Thompson in the last
week. Stock just out of a dry and
overgrazed pasture will consume any
green feed with which they come in
contact. It seems the richer and more
fertile the soil upon which sorghum
and sudan grass are grown, the more
deadly and sure the poison.

HEARINGS MAY BRING
BROADCAST SHAKE-UP
Fifty Stations Involved in Discus.
sions Before Commission to
Begin July Is.

Far from letting up for the Summer
the Federal Radio Commission has
issued call for hearing to begin July
18 which involves more than so broad
casting stations and which may entail
q big upheaval in the assignments of
many brOadcasting stations.
Looming as the most important hear
ing since the high-poTer-for-b broadcast
ing controversy of nearly two years ago.
which still bangles before the courts.
the case centerS around Station KYW
OF Chicago and its embattled defense
of the l,020-kilocycle clear channel
which 1t has occupied under duress for
five years. Before the opening date Of
the hearing it is regarded as likely that
| another dozen or so stations will be
drawn into the situation and that a
free-for-all will ensue to obtain better
assignments.
AS virtual act Of elf-defense. KYW
owned by the Westinghouse Electrical
Manufacturing Co. and being one of
the Nations leading stations, last week
filed an application for permission to
remove to Philadelphia and settle the
squabble over its use Of the 1.02O-kilo-
cycle channel. This wave under COM
mission allocations. is assigned to the
second zone. comprising the East-Cen-
tral tier of States, but was loaned" to
the fourth Of Middle Western zone for
use by KYW in 1928. Since then KYW
has been under almost constant attack
and even now series Of applications
from seccnd-Zone stations are pending
directly and Indirectly attacking its
right to the wave length. These mott
waited the application to remove to
Philadelphia
Because Of the closely interlocking
nature Of ALLEGATIONS of stations. in
which geographical as we'll as either"
separation must be taken into consider
alton. the commission found that as a
result Of the nine applications involving
the proposed KYW shift, exactly 81
stations would be affected All have
been notified to attend the hearing.

Behind the MicrophOne
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

~ UT of the parvenu radio
4 industry hitherto re-
~ garded by the politicians
as simply another cam
paign toOl-have cropped several
figures taking places of promi-
nence in the political whirl that
will continue until the November
elections. At least three broad
casters are currently seeking
high office.
It was radio station operator
Henry Field, of KFNF, Shenan-
doah, Iowa, who defeated Sen
ator Smith w. Brookhart for the
Republican nomination in the re-
cent Iowa primaries. Field. a
dry, will oppose Louis Murphy
also a dry and the Democratic
nominee, in the elections in the
normally dry Republican State of
Iowa. Most of Fields campaign
ing was done over his radio sta
ton.
If elected, Field will be the
third Senator owning or operating
a radio station, the other two
being Senator Arthur Capper OF
Kansas, who owns WIBW, Topeka
and Senator John S. Cohen OF
Georgia. who publishes the At
lanta Journal, owner of WSB.
There are no radio station
owners in the House, but a prac-
tical broadcaSter, also from Iowa
is seeking to be the first. He is
DR.. Frank w. Elliott, former man.
ager of WHO-WOC. Des Moines-
Davenport. and onetime president
of the National Association OF
BroadcasterS, who. as Republic
an wet, has won the nomination
for Congress in the Davenport
district.
Then there is DR.. John R. Brink
ley, the Kansas medico-broad-
caster whose license for KFBI
Milford, Kans., was revoked by
the Radio Commission last year
and who is running once more

piece of his own, for when he was
ruled off the air for his medical
broadcastS, he had to sell his sta
ton. The 75,000-Watt station he
later established in Mexico he also
sold.
Radio station operators for the
most part have been content thus
far to sell time to politicians and
no more. This year they expect
to reap a goodly harvest from
politics to mitigate an otherwise
severe depression in the broad
casting business. Required to give
all candidates an equal opportu-
nifty to use their microphoneS
some station owners have found
1t possible to circumvent this law
by making campaign contribu-
tionS to the candidates having
their sympathy. The tacit un-
derstanding is that those con-
tributiors are to be spent for
radio time To secure the same
amount of time, the opposing can
didateS must spend from their
own war chests.
A LEXICON all its own has been
a developed by radio broad
casters, following the American
penchant for abbreviationS and
short terms to describe what
might otherwise require longer
phraseology. Highly expressive
are some of the terms used by
broadcasting folk in and out OF
the studio.
In the neck for example
mears misrophone fright. "Smaltz
it, means play it "syruppy" OF
"gooey." Every one knows that a
"sustaining' program is one that
is not staged by an advertiser and

for which an advertiser pays. But
