THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1921. 4 A State Prepares To Give Farmers Market Reports JLeased Wire Placed in State House Following Argument With Howell Over Fed eral Plans. Lincoln, July 30. (Special.) The ''tick, tick" of a telegraph instru ment n heard in the Nebraska tatc house today for the first time in iti history. It came from a room on the (op floor to which the state department of agriculture under Leo J. Stuhr, secretary, will connect a leased wire from Omaha to receive and dis seminate market reports. The wire is expected to be in working order in a short time and tht department at this time has agents distributed in various parts of the state who will send in crop es timates and market reports. The state department will work in conjunction with the federal De partment of Agriculture and part of the expense of maintaining the wire will be borne by Uncle Sam. Will Install Wireless. Work of preparing for installation ,of the wire followed a conference held in Washington two weeks ago between Stuhr and H. C. Wallace, (secretary of the Department of Agri culture. While the state officials are mak ing no statements it is generally sup posed that the insallation of the leased wire is the first step toward endeavoring to commandeer the .wirless reports which sooner or later Svil! be received in Nbraska from tnarket places throughout the world. Stuhr'i trip to Washington fol lowed a letter of protest to Secre tary Wallace from Governor Mc Kelvie against a reported move pn the part of R. Beecher Howell of Omaha to place the proposed wire less apparatus at the state farm. No Definite Promise. According to report Stuhr failed j to get any definite promise at Wash j ington to give the state department ' the wireless reports when the ap . paratus and organization were eready ta go into an extensive wireless mar ket rrort condition that the selec tion of the ai?ency in I incoln to handle it would depend a preat deal on the facilities at hand. This brought action. Two hours after his return Stuhr called news papermen into his office and an nounced the state's new departure in receiving and sending market reports out and the installation of a leased , wire in the state house. I "And it won't be long until we ' have a wireless receiving and send ing set in the state house," Stuby i said. j'1 I f Meantime R.
