BY FRANK GEORGE (Checked and by Radio Sectfon, U. S. Burcau of Standards.) Tn agriculture, more than in any other industry, radio telephony reach- es its maximum of usefulness to the nation. Not only does it make the iso-, lation of the people living qn' the farms a thing of the past but it brings to the farmer weather crop and| market news, the prompt receipt of which plays so important a part in the production and distribution of crops. In producing sections during certain months there is always danger of de- struction of crops by frost. By radio, warnings of impending frost can be flashed instantly to an entire district. Need of Speed The distribution of farm is controlled largely by the farmer's knowledge of market conditions. Ifj the farmer hasn't prompt market information he cannot know when and where his prodiice is most need- ed. The result is over-supplied 1ar- kets in one place, and under-sup- plied markets somewhere else. Over- supplied markets mean food waste, In an efforl to secure a proper cor- relation or supply and demand the department of argriculture has a crop and market reporting service that is regarded as the most efficient report- ing system in the world. Market re- porters in the principal producing sections and market centers are in daily touch with marketing activities. Broadcasting Plans The establishinent of a national system of broadcasting agricultural news is therefore of vital importance. Radio brings this news to'the farmer while it is hot. ' At the present time, the Department of Agriculture with the co-operation of the Postoffice Department and state and local institutions broadcast daily weather, crop and market reports throughout the country by radiotele- graph and radiophone. Most of this service is by radio- telegraph which requires technical knowledge of radio and codes on the part of the receiving operator. Thou- sands of amateur operators receive these reports and distribute them fre their immediate territory. (The amateur’s opportunities in radio will be discussed by Frank George, tOMOITOW.)

Now, if the |chronometers go wrong, the ship can depend on the regular radio time sig- |nals from the powerful stations at ‘Arllngton and at Mare Island, Calif. e et Keeping up with events by radio is |just as easy in the far north as any- {where else. Professor Bibby, of Toron- ito Observatory, has a radio set while conducting his investigations at Ft. Noman, in the Canadian far north. He gets time signals daily, so as to have correct basis for his observa- tions. signals, “ o A twelve-tube receiving set at Paris, with one-meter loop antenna, has been used in recent radio experiments. Sxperts have found that, with this in- transmissions up to 5000 miles away {under ordinary conditions. Besides de- _ |tecting and amplifying, the tubes have |succeeded in filtering out a great deal of static and other disturbances. LAST DAY TO FILE This is the final day for filing in- come tax returns and the staff of gov- ernment agents at the postoffice will be on hand until Jate this evening, caring for those who appear to file their blanks. These agents are not empowered to accept cash as payments, and where payees do not present checks, it will be necessary for them to pay with a U. S. money order. In view of this, a rush is expected at the money order window, but as this closes at 7 p. m,, it will be necessary for those seeking orders to get there early in order to Philip, his nephew, a young bari- 2 HERE isn't anything better for breakfast or lunch thana dish of Grape-Nuts, with cream or milk, and stewed prunes or peaches. ‘This delicious combination gives you the ele- ments of a well-balanced food. For it contains not only the material needed to build tissue and furnish energy, but it also supplies fruit acids, that help keep the system in good order. Go to your grocer today and order a package of delicious Grape-Nuts. You will find that it will digest more readily than.most other cereald, and it will “stay by” you longer—because it's so richly nourishing.

By these | ILY HERALD, WEDNE TALKING OF FREAKS, HERE'S A HARD ONE Animal Seen in Patagonia May Be Horny Plated Glyptodon Ruenos Aires, March 15 (By Asso- clated Press)-—It was not a plesiosau- rus that was seen swimming in the Andean lake recently, but probably a descendant either of the Horny Plated Glyptodon, or of the Megatherium in the opinion of Prof. Onelll, director of the Buenos Aires zon, Regponding to inquiries as to whether the expedi- tion for the capture of the supposed plesiosaurus would start, Prof. Onelll raid: Plesfosaurus is a psendonym the newspapers have given it and which has stuck, but I believe it | a huge animal of the edentate family of which ancient remains, not fossil mark you, were found in Patagonia in 1807 and one of which was fired upon and hit by the exporer Ramon Tista in 1890 without hurting it." Back 10,000,000 Years He explained that while the plesio- saurus dates back 10,000,000 years the edentates such as the Glyptodon and Megatherium belonged to the quater- nary area of only a million years ago. He sa¢d that from 1890 to the pres- ent time there had heen 12 places in Patagonia between latitudes 38 and 52 at which mysterious creatures were reported to have heen seen. Those he believes constitute a few survivors of the genus which existed in the pleistocene period. Prof. Onelli said he had been obliged to postpone the start of the expedition for another week, as a total of which 3,000 were yet lacking. While a motion picture concern had offered to pay the entire expenses of the ex- pedition in return for the exclusive right to film the capture of the animal Prof. Onelli prefered it to be financed by popular subscription. He exhibited more than a hundred letters from persons desiring to join the expedition. These included one who recommended himself as a hunter for Spanish royalty and another who had invented a new make of dyna- mite with which to blow up the mon- ster, Introducing the Glyptodon The Glyptodon was a creature re- sembling the Armadillo and which attained the size of an ox. It had strong limbs with short broat feet. The Megatherium was a gigantic, sloth-like edentate, from 18 to 20 feét tin length. It had a short neck, heavy body and powerful tail and hind legs. With its strong, prehensile tongue, it tore from trees and shrubs the leaves and twigs upon which it subsisted. FINAL OVERTHROW OF REBELS IS NEAR Alrican Revolution Being Suc- oessfully Pt Down London, March 15 (By Associated Press)—With all sectors: of ths dis- affected area in South Africa cleared of rabels except certain portions of the Johannesburg, or central, region, of the Rand, thé struggle apparently has entered its final phase. Jeppes town in the east end of Johannes- burg, seems to be the principal re- maining center of resistance. Artillery, tanks and airships were used in the capture of Fordsburg from the revolutionists yesterday. They had disregarded notices dropped from airships giving them until 11 o'clock in the morning to surrender but capitulated after seventy-five min- utes of bombardment. Another note- worthy success was achieved in the East Rand where extensive proprie- tary mines were recovered and 158 revolutionists captured. Their lead- ers however escaped. Reports Confirmed Johannesburg, March 15 (By Asso- ciated Press)—Advices from Fords- burg, timed late yesterday reports that government infantry was then clear- ing the streets, following the capture of the town from the rebels. Many prisoners had been taken and the re- mainder were retiring on the Lang- laagte river. Prior to the bombardment of the town leaflets were dropped by air- ships warning the women and chil- dren to leave. There was an im- mediate response, a steady stream of refugees proceeding to a special camp outside the zone of bombardment, Snipers Active Although the houses in Fordsburg had been deserted by the men only women and children being found when the government forces entered, sniping at the government troops continued One of the snipers ap- parently a woman, was shot, but when the body was recovered it was found to be that of a man in woman'’s cloth- ing. Women carrying white flags sheltered some of the rebels accord- ing to the military reports while groups of children surrounded other rebels to facilitate their escape. Another Town Taken.
