ETHER TRAFFIC
BIG PROBLEM
Annual Report Shows De*
crease in Number of
Stations
Washington — (UP) — The traf
fic congestion in the ether—where
radio telegraph and telephone, tele
vision and other competition make
it impractical to assign more than
90 frequencies to the 612 United
States broadcasting stations—are
shown in the annual report of the
Federal Radio commission.
Adding to the commission’s prob
lem, it reports, is the necessity for
international agreement on fre
quency allotments and the fact that
this country Is now using more than
Its share.
At the next conference, to be held
in 1932, there is expected an inter
national scramble for wave lengths.
To obtain even greater international
s^isideration, or even to retain its
hold on the lion’s share, the United
States, through the commission,
will have to show the best possible
use of the present facilities. For
that and other reasons, the com
mission reports, it has become in
creasingly difficult to secure per
mission to broadcast. The applicant
must not only show a real public
need, but also prove ability to meet
it
During the last year there has
been almost a complete revolution
in the type of equipment, it is
stated in the report. This was the
result of the commission's order
that all stations have equipment
that would limit station interfer
ence.
During the year the total num
ber of broadcasting stations was
reduced by nine, leaving 612 sta
tions operating. Eleven new sta
tions were authorized and 20 de
leted. Of the 20 stations off the
air. eight were consolidated, two
voluntarily relinquished their li
censes and 10 were denied re
newal. Of the 612 active stations,
420 now operate simultaneously at
night—all on 90 frequencies.
In the use of radio telephone,
the United States Is leading the
world, the report shows. Today
over 86 per cent of the worlds
telephones are offered commer
cial inter-connection in one net
work by use of radio.
Rapid progress in the field of
television was reported, but as yet
It has not recognized commercial
television.
The radio traffic problem has
been increased during the year by
the increase of aviation broad
casts, the commissioners declare
Police radio also has added to
the ether congestion, but, writes
the commission, this development
has proved so valuable in the re
duction of crime that it is weJJ
worth while.

a pan Shows Up American Statesmen
^ ■ -—_✓
From the New York World-Telegram.
The Japanese army, in violation of various treaties, in
cluding certain to which the United States is a signatory,
is marching on Chinchow. Secretary of State Stimson has
gone off on a shooting holiday. The state department, lack
ing a definite policy, refuses to act or comment on the
Manchurian crisis.
Rarely, if ever, has the foreign policy of the United
States been so bankrupt as today. Japan’s betrayal of the
(American) Nine-Power treaty guaranteeing the territorial
and administrative integrity of China, and Japan’s betrayal
of the (American) Kellogg Anti-War pact, cannot be jus
tified. But at least it can be understood, considering the
militarists in power.
But America’s betrayal of the treaties cannot be un
derstood.
Our government has betrayed the treaties. It is a be
trayal to refuse—as our government has refused—to in
voke those treaties against a violator.
Never since September 18, when Japan began her
treaty violations, has the United States as a signatory of
those agreements directly or openly charged Japan with
guilt.
Ana wnen tne League of Nations council issued a time
ultimatum to Japan in defense of American treaties, our
government—by refusing to co-operate—in effect invited
Japan to defy the ultimatum.
If the United States government had been in league
with the Japanese militarists to seize Manchuria and de
stroy the American treaties the result could not have been
more disastrous.
Of course, our government had no such motive. But,
regardless of motive, in fact its cowardly secret diplomacy
has played into the hands of the Japanese militarists from
the beginning.
This is not a case of hindsight being better than fore
sight.
Ever since the September 18 invasion supporters of the
treaties have pointed out that the state department’s do
nothing policy was encouraging Japan to destroy the
world’s peace machinery.
Now that the Hoover-Stimson policy has failed so com
pletely; now that Japanese militarists are masters of Man
churia; now that the United States has advertised to the
world that it will not co-operate with other neutral na
tions to restrain a treaty outlaw, the least our government
can do Is to withdraw its ambassador from Japan in pro
test.
The United States does not run the world. The United
States cannot and should not seek to dominate Japan or
any other nation. The United States should not intrude in
local foreign disputes which do not concern it.
But the United States should keep faith with its own
treaties. So long as Japan persists in violating its treaty
agreements with the United States this government should
withhold from Japan the friendly diplomatic relations ac
corded to law-abiding nations. The choice is not ours but
Japan’s. If she outlaws herself let her be treated as an
outlaw.

MARKET VALUE OF SILAGE.
llegartling the cost of putting up
ilage, there are two computations
iiat come very near arriving at the
ictual costs of filling a silo. In the
me instance, several farmers who
>wned a 12-horse power gas engine
md 17-inch cutter found that it
ook an average of 12 hours of man
power and 36 hours of horse power
to cut 10 acres of corn. The hauling
and the loading of this 10 acres re
quired three men and two teams, or
48 hours of man power and 64 hours
of horse power. One man in the silo
and one at the cutter accounted for
another 32 hours of man power. The
total cost against the 80 tons of su
rge secured from the 10 acres is as
follows:
rx hours of man labor at $0 50_$ 48 00
100 hours of horse labor at $0 20.... 20 00
IS pounds of twine at $0 14. s so
10 gallons of gasoline. 1.S0
Lubricating oil .60
18 hours of engine and cutter hire
or depreciation . 18.00
Utnder cost $0.40 per acre. 4,00
The total cost of $91.SO averages $1.15
per ton.
Another group of farmers had a
12-horse power engine with a 14
inch cutter and filled silos 14x41
feet with 15 acres of corn at a to
tal cost of $218.50. Their detaUed
costs were as follows:
214 hours of man labor at $0 50... $107 00
302 hours of horse labor at $0.20.... 60 40
34 pounds of twine at $0 14. 4 68
28 gallons of gasoline. 3.12
Lubricating oil . 1.2S
32 hours engine and cutter hire.... 32 00
Binder cost . 6.00
Total for 140 tons of silage.$218 45
Filling cost per ton. 156
From these two one Is able to ar
rive at a more or less average cost
of filling a silo. Costs of filling
amount to about 40 per cpnt of the
total cost of silage. As to the market
value of silage, that is best obtained
by comparing It with the price of
hay. One ton of hav equals In feed
ing value about three tons of silage.
Where hay In the mow is worth $18
a ton, silage Is worth $6 a ton. An
other basis for figuring is that the
feeding value of a ton of silage ir,
equal to three bushels of corn plus
320 pounds of hay. Where corn is
selling at 85 cents and hav at $20,
silage on this basis would be worth
$5.75.
SWINE INFLUENZA
During the early winter months
when swine are becoming ac
customed to their winter quarters,
and to sudden and sometimes ex
treme changes in temperature, in
fluenza or “hog flu" is most likely
to cause trouble if not severe loss.
Thus far there is no known pre
ventative for this disease as in the
case of hog cholera; there is no cure
except as good nursing may be ap
plied to aid affected animals make
their own recovery. It is important
that swine producers be able to
recognize the symptoms of influen
za, that these be not confused with
tlte symptoms of other diseasees,
and that good nursing be applied as
quickly as possible to aid the affected
animals in their recovery. Here are
the chief symptoms of swine in
fluenza. "A slight dullness and
diminished appetite are observed in
from four to seven days after sus
ceptible swine are exposed to the
infection. Ther is pronounced
labored breathing and a coarse,
spasmodic cough which appears to
be painful. The cough is most
noticeable when the animals are
first driven from their quarters.
Great prostration, loss of appetite,
and high temperatures mark the
height of the attack. The course of
the disease is from two to five days
in uncomplicated cases. In some
herds large numbers become sick
without a death. Those that re
cover show a marked loss of flesh.
Occasionally many deaths occur
from a broncho-pneumonia. “Certain
stages of swine influenza bear some
resemblance to hog cholera. It can
be distinguished from hog cholera,
when it occurs in the uncomplicated
form, only by the sudden onset and
rapid recovery. Swine influenza
spreads rapidly in a herd; many
animals appear to he extremely sick
within a short time and the res
pirator symptoms predominate. Hog
cholera is a progressive, destructive
disease and "rnduallv affects the en
tire herd. "Swine influenza may. in
mnnv cases, be prevented bv quar
antine. All ho<rs brought into the
herd and esneeiallv those that have

of affected members from the re

"INDIVIDUALS** NEEDED
For years, farmers have been told
they were too individualistic, but
the other day we heard a farm
woman tell n croup a different
story, says a field man. who weekly
eomes in contact with all classes of
agriculturists. “Don’t try too hard
to get rid of individualism.” she
said. “We need it. We’re all get
tin" far too standardized.” Farm
children, she pointed out. were
being exposed to influences that
made them think and act iust
like citv children, even though their
needs were different. "Don’t let our
children think iust as the radio
savs,” she insisted. “Our young peo
ple are too much inclined to think
the thoughts that are coming out
of the city. They ought to think as
farmers and as individuals.” You
remember the old saying, “In
the country of the blind, the one
eyed man is king.” Like many old
sayings, It isn’t true. In the country
of the blind, the one-eyed man
would be a freak and would be
looked down on by his neighbors
because he didn’t resemble them.
Sometimes that is the way we treat
our outstanding individuals. Be

with suspicion. An attitude of this

This is best done by reducing the

conditions.

AIDING PORKER GAIN
The tendency of hogs is to be
| lazy if not compelled to do other
wise to satisfy their desires for Iced
' and comfort. This is considered to
be a fault among people in the de
velopment and exercise of the full
use of their talent. This is not so
with fattening hogs. It pays to help
them to be lazy. This may best be
done bv placing feed or self-feeders
convenient to sleeping quarters,
and by making the sleeping quarters
as comfortable as possible. Under
these conditions, fattening hogs
have nothing to do but eat. drink,
and sleep and this enables them to
put a maximum amount of feed nu
trients into pork. The function of
the pregnant brood sow throughout
the winter is to develop strong,
vigorous pigs to be delivered in
March, April, or May.It has been
quite well demonstrated by practical
swine producers that some exercise
is essential to that end. We cannot
afford to help our pregnant brood
sows to be lazy. Because of this, our
winter management must be such
as to compel sows to take a reason
able amount of exercise. This may
be done in a practical way by feed
ing such sows at a considerable
lif tance from their sleeping quat ters
A very fine supplementary or pro
tective feed for pregnant sows is
legume hay. It should be leafy and
of good quality. Alfalfa hay is best
although good clover hay serves the
purpose. By placing a suitable feed
ing rack for hay at a considerable
distance from the sleeping quarters
of sows, the latter are Induced to
take the much needed exercise so
helpful to the development of
strong vigorous litters of pigs.
PASTURING NURSE CROP
In establishing alfalfa on land
which has been used for any great
period for corn it is necessary that
a very firm seed bed be established
before planting your alfalfa. If lime
is needed, be sure that the proper
amount has been added, and also
phosphate or potash fertilizer added
to complete the soil needs of the
alfalfa plant. It is very necessary
to have an ideal condition in order
to have alfalfa win out in the bat
tle with the Canadian thistles. If
the alfalfa gets the proper start,
you will find that it will be able to
smother out the Canadian thistles
within a vear or so. The continual
cutting for hay also helps kill out
the weeds. Pasturing of the oats
seded witli alfalfa possibly has re
sulted in a better stand sometimes
because the oat crop was removed
or so held back that the alfalfa
plants were able to make a better
growth. The trampling of the soli
about the new alfalfa plants, es
pecially in wet weather, will hava
a more harmful than beneficial ef
fect. If the season is not ideal in
sofar as rainfall Is concerned, it
is profitable to clip the oats for
hay while they are in the milt
stage, thus giving the alfalfa a bet
ter chance to make growth befora
winter sets in. The matter of in
oculation is so Important on all le
?umes and so economical when
igured per acre that we would
suggest inoculating soy bean seed
even though it Is put back on land
that grew soy beans last year. Ia
many cases there may be absolutely
no need of this because the bacteria
are established in the soil, but in a
great many cases the wet bacterial
growth with which the soy beans
are inoculated is at hand when the
roots begin to grow and thus gives
the plant a better start by enabling
it to get its nitrogen from the air
sooner.
HOW ABOUT TANK HEATER?
Thirsty stock does not get fat,
while dairy cows require four pounds
or more of water for every pound
of milk which they produce. Where
the drinking water is tempered with
a tank heater, faster gains and more
economical production will result
during the winter months. There is
also a saving In feed, for when large
quantities of cold water are con
sumed at one time considerable heat
is required to bring this up to body
temperat ure. Nearly everyone
has seen dairy cows hump up their
backs and shiver after drinking icy
water from a stock tank and it is
not to be expected that such an ex
perience Ls conducive to profitable
production. One member of a dairy
herd improvement association found
that his cows made an average gain
of 5.6 pounds fat a month follow
ing the purchase of a heater. At
one experiment station it was found
that fall pigs given water from an
automatic waterer, kept from freez
ing with a kerosene lamp, showed
an increase in profit of 17 per cent
as compared to pigs given water
in open troughs. Gains were in
creased by 5 per cent and the feed
requirement was reduced 10 per
cent, due to water being available
at all times. Stock tanks should be
banked and covered during the win
ter and it is also recommended that
gravel or cinders be placed around
the tanks and waterers to prevent
accidents due to slipping on icy
yards.
BUT DON’T OVER DO IT
The farmer who gives his children
habits of industry provides for them
better than by giving them a for
tune.
them if he keeps his calves in dark,
dirty, foul smelling, poorly lighted,
and ventilated places? Dairy farm
ers have enough to do without in
viting trouble through neglect of
proper calf management. Glean
bedding go a long ways in prevent
ing calf scours and pneumonia.
GROWING SUDAN GRASS
Like any forage crop of conse
quence, sudan grass is not a grass
lor low, wet lands. Well drained
low lands under regular cultivation
will grow it successfully, and sandy
soil that is at all reasonably fer
tile will grow a fair crop FGr
emergency pasture good grain and
sorn soil should be devoted to it.
