THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1929 HEARS OF PATIENGE # a y y x Hope for the technical pragtic- © ability of definite schedule offre broadcasts from England becomes more pronounced each time such a program goes on the air, Tests re- corded almost hourly for the last two years have smoothed away many of the earliest difficulties and are pointing the way toward a hoped for solution of present pro- hlems, according to radio engin- eers, One thing the experiments have clearly established, according to C, W, Horn general engineer of the N.B.C., is the importance of time, It has been definitely deter- mined that while reception from England on a certain wave length may not he possible at 9 o'clock in the morning, it might be almost perfect on that same wave length ai 5.00 o'clock in the afternoon, Horn 'said: "We are still far from the ultimate goal of perfec- tion. However, ' we have solved many of the probleme and our experiments are becoming more froitful each day. A "These experiments will"be con- tinued until we can give listeners events of international Interest with customary good quality." Full Co-operation Horn explained that during the long experimental period, during which four British programs have heen placed on the air, each with more success than the one before, the Natfoenal Broadcasting: Com- pany hak had the full co-operation of the British Broadcasting Cor- poration. "This co-operation in- cludes exchange of engineering data and the conducting of fre- quent tests," the engineer said. Much -has been learned about foreign reception since the Radio Corporation of America's experi- mental short wave station at River- head, L.I., hegan to function, ae- cording to the experts. But much still remains to be found out be- fore satisfactory signal strength can be promised for any definite hour of the day or night, The engineer explained that a "heayy alr pressure area' over the Atlantic which varies during the day and night, has a very -de- cided effect on the radio signals, Just how this effect can he util- ized to best advantages has not been fully determined, hut the so- 'hition cannot be far away, now that the condition has been discovered, he said, TIMETABLES | | pT RRM RARER WN IIR VS C.P.R, TIME TABLE.

All British programs come from 58M at Chelmsford, about thirty miles north-east of London, where the British Broadcasting Corpor- ation's key station, 2LO, is located. Station 58W is an experimental transmitting station of the Brit- ish Broadcasting Corporation, The programs re-broadcast in the past have been received.on a wave length of 25.53 meters, al- though other waves are also used because of their carrying ability, Although one or two attempts were made several years ago to re-oroadcast British programs, the most ambitlous effort was made on February 1 of this year, when a symphony concert from 2L0O was placed on a coast-to-coast net- work. The program followed an ad- dress by Calvin Coolidge, then Pra- sident of the United States, dur- ing the dedication of the Dok Bird Carillon in Florida, The wizardry of modern radio next took listener to London eariy in the morning of July 7, when a thanksgiving service in Westmin- ster Abbey of the the racovery of King George was broadcast through a nation wide network. At the con- clusion of this program listeners heard the voice of an Australian announcer say: 'Sydney calling, Hello, Montreal," This was picked up from Station VX2ME, in Sydney, by the Pitts- burgh laboratories of the Wes! inghouse Electric and Manufactur- ing Company and conveyed to New York on land wires, S08 Interrupts, New, York reception of the thanksgiving service was cut to a few minutes by an SOS eall from a ship 60 miles off Boston Har- hor, This took both WEAF and WJZ off the air, but reports from listeners in other parts of the na- tion indicated the program wag an improvement over the earlier broadcast, Both the following London re- broadcasts came as a surprise to American listeners. Late in the af- ternoon of September 5 a program originating in the New York stn- dios of the N.B, C, was interrup- ted by the announcement that 2 program from London would be broadcast, "he "Miehlight of English radio reception to date, however, came two days later when an hour's re- ception of the Schneider Cup races over the River Solent, off Calshot, was placed on an extensive net- work at 9.05 o'clock in the morn- ing. ' The earlier portion of this broad- cust was voted by engineers, newr- paper critics and listeners alike as the heat so far received over speak- ers in this country. The shipping board at Washing- ton recently authorized the sale of six lake-type cargo steamers to Josehp F. O'Boyle, of New York, for a total o f $191,500. Thes hips are now to be engaged umder the United States flag in carrying wood pulp from Canadian ports to tne United States, The steamers which range from 3,000 to 3,600 tons, have been laid up more than eight years, * ei : Despite broadcasts about Wagh- ington's heat and {ts anti-Hoover left-hand traffic turn, visitors con- tinue to invade the capital in un- precedented number, It ix estim- ated that this summer nearly 400,- 000 persons have been elevated to the top of the Washington Monu- ment.

Comply With Act BH (By Professor lawson Caesar) (Provineal Entomologst.) - In complyng wth the Corn Borer Act and disposing of their corn remnants, farmers find their chief difficulty is to get the corn stubble go well buried by the plow that it will remain buried, and not have to be picked up in the spring by hand and burned. Some years it is much harder fo make although job of plowing the stubble under than others, but any year the fol- lowing suggestions will great deal and In most cases will make hand-picking either lizht or altogether unnecessary, ° Cut the corn short, just as short as you can, If you use a hinder, set it, if possible, to cut not high- er, than four inches, If the field is small use a short-handled, heavy hoe and cut right at the ground, Never use a sickle, Cutting corn short this year means, of course, more good food for the cattle, Before plowing run a four-hoard planker about ten feet wide, twice over cach row (up and down, nev- er crosswise), The planker works better if it has on the back of the first plank an iron flange or strip projecting about three-quarters of an inch below the lower surface. Thugs equipped it will break off or crush down most of the stubble, and make complete burial of it by the plow much easier. It also kills many borers, Instead of a planker, a disc may be used to crush the stubble, Run it twice lengthwise over the rows, help a' Liquid | Foundation Imparts that seit, velvety then roll before plowing, This Is particularly: good wheré the corn 3 in hills. A heavy 'roller or a light roller, weighted down with bags of earth, can also be used to crush stubble, Tt,'too, should be yun twice over the row (up and dowd). . | hi 3 Never plow when the ground is too hard or too wel to do a good job, 1f the sofl is not fit to plow in fall, wait until gpring and do it then at the best time, Do not use a narrow plow, but only one with a wide base that will turn a wide furow, Never plow the rows crogswise, but always lengthwise. Run the last furrow just before the stubble row, so that on the next round the stubble will be thrown right into the bottom of the furrow and completely cover- Use a skimmer on the plow, You 3 3 ' | 18 Simcoe SL, South David Ansehl's Famous et: Tow avis ant, Face Powder (or each type of skin, JURY AND LOVELL, LTD.

Eric Hearle, Dominion entomolo- gist here, has netted moive than 200 of these gambussia affinis, or "mog- quito fish" as they are commonly called, and they have been shippad here from Banff to be planted in lo- cal waters infested with the insect pest, The mosquito fish were originally planted at Banff by Mr. Hearle in 1918 and have since multiplied into the millions. Their unremitting war- fare against the mosquitoes at Banff is said to have resulted in virtually ennihilating the annoying skeeters and now they are expected to ac- complish the same results here, There has been considerable con- troversy ahout the origin of the mosquito fish, some old-timers claim- ing that the fish used to disport themselves in the sulphur waters at Banff years before My. Hearle ar- rived, An authority claimed that these "original inhabitants" of the Banff pools were an imported spe- cies from Japan, But now Mr, Hearle has settled the dispute by recalling that when he went to Banff in 1918 with his first shipment of gambusgsia afMinis there were other tiny fish already in the pool. But these fish were prompt- ly devoured by the gambusgsia affi- nis, which has cannibalistic tenden- cies us well as an appetite for mos- quitoes, so that in time only the CEDAR LODGE AF. & AM.
