CDAGWIL SEND OUT NEWS BY RADIOPHONE All Reports: Will Be Sent First By Telephone, Then Repeat- ed By Dots and Dashes WAVE LENGTH 75 METERS Fargo, N. D., June 12—The North Dakota: Agricultural College . will . be- gin. the broadcasting of weather, re- ports, markets and possibly some news before July, possibly by the middle of June, according to an- nouncement by the physics depart- ment. The onlv thing lacking ig a motor generator which is expected to arrive at any time. ‘A 100 watt vacuum tube transmit- ter will be used to cover a radius of at least one hundred miles by radio telephone or 250 miles use of tele- graphy. Sigmund Liefson, in charge of the work, announces that the broadcast- ing will, as nearly as can be deter- mined now, be done as follows: The wave length will 375 meters, All reports will be sent first by telephone and-then repeated by dots and dashes. A regular time for daily trans- mission will be worked put, probably early in the morning or at noon. There ate two factors to be considered in this _matter—convenience ‘for the greatest number of people to be ser- ved and the fact that as the sun rises higher in the morning, static interfer- ence becomes more troublesome. It becomes’ worse just before sundown, Therefore the transmitting should be done before noon at least. To reach the farmer it seems best, in the light of present knowledge, to put the calls before he goes to the field in' the morning or at noon. If the reports are copied in the smaller towns and telephoned to the farmers, this par- tieular time for broadcasting will ngt be necessary. c Just what will be sent will also have to be worked out. The Moorhead weather report will probably be in- cluded as well as markets which the station picks up from °Minneapolis and Omaha. With its advantage as to equipment the college station can pick up the radio market reports which smaller stations throughout the state would be unable to get. It. is hoped to have the government hourly re- ports eventually, but that must come jater according to Mr. Licfson.

CANNING TIME IS AT HAND Canning time is at hand for the in- dustrious housewife. ‘Within the next two weeks the big supply. of strawberries from Hood riv- er-and Wenatchee valleys will be on the market. Reports indicate a fine crap of early fruit, particularly a bountiful gupply of berriés. Following this fruit will come red raspberries, chérries and plums. @areful housewives are now looking over their jars to see if they have a supply of lids and rubbers on hand, for:they know when the big season is on; all the essentials for careful can- ning is not always so easy to obtain, | Many. a jar of fruit has been spoiled by using old rubber rings which have lost their flexibility. jugar ig reasonably cheap and with Plenty of fresh fruit, the industrious housewife is preparing to fill her Jars, —tbp stack her cupboards from top to bottom. ‘The Wakikuyu tribe of East Africa believe that death is “catching,” and therefore that no one should touch a | peity of 30,000 acre feet, an amount The new big “Passing Show of 1921" comes to the auditorium June 16.

IRRIGATION FACTS ARE GIVEN TO: CONGRESS HERE BY GEO. M’MAHON The result of engineering exper- fence and close study of the irriga- tion problem, as given to the iriga- tion congress here by George H, Mc- Mahon, assistant state engineer, has excited much interest. Mr. McMahon said: “This Congress has been called to consider ways and means of secur- ing a greater development of irriga- tion projects in North Dakota, How- ever a brief review of what is being done elsewhere would not be inappro- priate at this time. The three larg- est stream systems in the west suit- able for irrigation are the Missouri, the Colorado ang the Columbia. “The ‘Columbia River Basin Proj- ect is an ambitious*scheme that con- templates the development of the Co- lumbja River and its tributaries. “Surveys and estimates of this proj- ect have been completed and recently General Goethals, ‘builder of the Pan- ama Canal: has been called in to pass on the feasibility of two alternate schemes of development. In his re- port on this project General Goeth- als says: “The Columbia Basin Proj- ect igs as much 4 national one as were the Panma Canal and the Alas- ka Railway and will, if completed, add much more to the national wealth than either of the others mentioned. The work should be provided for and carried out as‘ were these other two national projects—by direct appro- priations,” “The Colorado River Project has reached a similar stage of develop- ment, Rock Fill Dam “The U, 8. Reclamation Service con- templates the construction of a rock fill dam of enormous dimensions at Boulder Canon. This dam is to be 600 feet high, requiring a width of 3-4 of a mile at the base and providing a storage capacity of 20 million acre feet. This storage capacity being eignt times that of its nearest competitor, the Elephant Butte reservoir in New Mexico, Just what this storage ca- pacity means in terms of the Missouri‘ River may be judged by the fact that, the Boulder Canon. Reservoir will store a quantity of water greater than the entire annual flow of the Miss- ouri River at Bismarck. “With the’ development ‘of the Colorado and Columbia stream sys- tems is already well under way the est of them all, has scarcely been cén- sidered. “Unfortunately there is no such fav- orable reservoir site on the- Missouri River. However on the tributaries of the Missourl there are very favo- able storage possibilities, “It ig quite possible that after such reservoir are provided and the flood waters of the Missouri River con- trolled, diversion dams for the pur- pose of irrigation could be construct- ed in the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Another Alternative . “There is another alternative in the way of a gravity project on which the cost per acre if developed on a large scale will be, far less than. that of the Columbia River Goethals recommended by General Goethals and the total development cost ‘should be less than ten percent of the Colum- bia River project mentioned. “This project would call for a di- version tunnel from old Fort Steph- enson through the coteau to the Mouse River Valley. “Tt seems to.me that this scheme should be among the first to be in- vestigated. 2 “There are numerous storage poss!- bilities on the lesser streams of North Dakota, notably on the Heart and Cannon Ball and also on the Littie Missouri. “There is a reservoir site on the Heart River in Sec. 13, Twp. 136 N. R 89 W. about -halfway between Glen Ullin and Elgin. A 60 foot dam at this point will give a reservoir ca- pacity of 300,000 acre feet, an amount the Heart River. “A dam at this place would be less than 700 feet long and could be con- dead person. structed of the rock fill type with a}, }tion development use of thd (Missour! River, the great- ine Colorado River project where masonry core wall. There are rock ledges on each end of the dam site that will afford a plentiful supply of material. “This reservoir will supply suffi- cient water for the irrigation of thirty sections of land, a good part of which could be supplied by gravity. “It seems that the most urgent thing to be done at this time is to se- cure an appropriation by congress to be expended in surveys and investi- gations of the projects mentioned, as well as other projects that have been considered in the past, notably the Bowman project and the: various pumping projects along the Missouri River. bottoms, Why Conserve Waters The flood waters of the Missouri that should be ‘conserved’ for irriga- tion are not only allowed ‘to run to waste but jn addition cause great damage -along its two thousand mile course from the mouth of the Yel!ow- stone to the Mississippi River, Thous- ands of acres of fertile farm land are cut annually but this does not end the‘.destruction wrought. The ‘Missouri River supplies a large quota of the 145 cubic miles of silt that passes through the mouth of the Mississippi annually, The silt carried by the (Missour{ River which under flood conditions is over one half of one per cent of its volume is perhaps the greatest menace to navigation of the lower Mississippi. It makes the problem of providing aux- iliary outlets extremely difficult. The Atchafalya outlet which carries about 1-3 of the water of the lower Mississippi during flood conditions has caused a silting up of the Miss- issippi below the mouth _of the Red River. nd at the present time the government is asked to close the Atchafalaya outlet at a cost of mil- Hons of. dollars, YL tt i “Why, not spend thege, millions to control the Missouri River floods in Montana, North. Dakotai and South Dakota, using the water for irrigation, thereby saving the large acreage of farm land destroyed by floods an- nually and carried on down to the Mississippi, to obstruct navigation, “Before any government aid is forthcoming the demand for irriga- a ist,come from the’ people themsel 38¥i 2 O9x “This was, true of the Solumhig project; this was also true of t states are cooperating in urging de- velopment. “The New Orleans Chamber. of Commerce suggests that the twenty- seven states concerned in the flood control of the Mississippi cooperate for their: mutual benefit. “T sincerely hope that the North Dakota Irrigation. . Association will have not only your moral support but your financial assistance as well in carrying on the good work they are now doing in promoting irrigation development in this state and would suggest that a tri-state organization be formed’ to promise: the. develop- ment: of the upper Missouri.” OLD CREAMERY ORGANIZATIONS ARE: “NO MORE” Few of ‘North Dakota’s creamery or- ganizations have been in existence for twenty years; many changes in the business have occurred: in the last ten years and the’stock company which was the popular form of promotion of just a decade ago has almost pass- ed from the ken of North Dakota's dairy organizations. In the place of the stock company, four of the present creameries are partnerships, twenty-seven are owned by individuals and twenty-seven are corporations. The latter title is not a years ago, but is a title of a well ordered set of business institutions. Fifty of the present creameries make butter and fifty-one make ice} créam, these two being the mannfac- || turing activities’ listed in the ~1922 jbeavy work together with Devils veil for the stock companies of a few | North, Dakota creamery directory, Twenty-eight sell eggs, twenty-two sell poultry and fifteen are listed as sell- ing milk, The distribution of these fifty-eight running creameries places in thirty- three of North Dakota counties.

In only a few of these is there any- thing to indicate that there has been a ‘continuing ‘ organization for the score of years., Morton was again one of the high counties of the state, that county and Sargent having nine creamerieg each, Richland had three, Stark two, and Oliver, LaMoure, | Dickey, Wells and Cass one each. ‘ MANY BANDS T0 TAKE PART IN LEGION MEET National Commander Hanford , MeNider and Judge Kenesaw M.

MUSKET, BUCKLES, FOUND Lisbon, N. D., June 12—One North Dakota county will have a well: de- fined history to present to the State Historical Association due to the work of Mrs. Walter G. Curtis of this city. Mrs. Curtis first commenced working on the history of Ransom county for a club paper. ed her so much, and attracted so much attention that the original short club Paper has been developed to an ad- dress of more than an hour and much of the material gathered cannot be in- cluded. The materjal gathered by Mrs. Cur- tis includes all possible records. She has hunted out and recorded on maps county in the earlier days. The maps include among other things, the old Tadian trails which cross the county, the military trails to the Northwest which crossed the county before the boundaries of the county were fixed or the state outlined. She has also located on these maps the point where General Sibley spent eight days ‘rest- the earth works raised by his men. In digging around -among ‘these earth- works, an old musket ‘and buckles have been found, as Mrs, Curtis also has shown on the maps the locations of the sand hills, and has secured from geologists, the reasons for these sand hills and the locations of the Sheyenne river, with changes that have taken place in’ the ters receded. . (Mrs. Curtis has also gone out and found the reason for the names of the different townships in Ransom coun- ty. Rosemead, being named from the words of an early settler, who looked out at the cluster of wild roses about her and exclaimed upon the beauty of the “rose meadow.” Oswego was so named Wecause the early settlers there were from New York, and Syd- na.being the name of the first woman resident of the county. Mrs. Curtis also is compiling a list of all times and places where Ransom county peo- ple have been mentioned. ‘One: of her interesting experiences was an appearance with her lecture before the pioneer mothers’ club of the county. “If I had been possessed of four hands,” said Mrs. Curtis, in re- counting this experience, “I could not have taken down notes on all of the experiences poured in my ears af- ter that meeting.” MENNONITES STILL LEAVING Grand Forks, 'N.
