INTERNATIONAL PEACE
BROADCASTING?
By R. M. -Sherrill
(Radio 'Engineer)
It has been suggested that the Lea-
gue of Nations operate its own Inter-
national Broadcasting Station for the
purpose of advancing world peace.
he proposed station is being strong-
ly supported by organizations from
several countries, and seems to be en
ti rely feasible.
As far as the present plans go, this
station would be located at a point of
high altitude near Geneva, Switzer-
land. Its tremendous power would
be such as would put our present Su-
per -Power stations far in the back-
ground. It would transmit on a high
wavelength and would be easily re-
ceived half -way - around the world.
Thus its programs should become.

1 A New Crystal Detector..
• In experimenting with some of the
by-products produced in the menu -
lecture of steel, a new iron and silicon
combination has been discovered. This
product is said to give exceptionally
good results as a crystal detector.
Tests made by one experimenter
showed that with this crystal stations
several hundred miles away could be
brought in with unusual strength, and
with perfect clarity.
As far as is known, this new Ferro-
silicno crystal has not yet been put
on the market.

Cultivation or Interttllage the Thing
--How Moisture Evaporates -Cul-

(Contributed by Ontario Department et
Agriculture, Toronto.)
Cultivating, or intertillage, is so
generally practiced, with .corn growing
that we assume it is necessary for
growth and do not stop to ,ask the
reason. But there are several rea-
sons, the most important of which
are to conserve inoisture and to de-
stroy the competing weeds that ttie
corn may have the best possible
chance to develop.
intertillage Beneficial.
Intertillage also assists the freeing
of plant food and an ' open or loose
surface soil will, in ease of hear;,•
rain, take up and hold more moistur:
than a hard or uncultivated surfae,.:
As fast as moisture evaporates fret
the surface more water moves ur,
from below. ' This is as nature iii

develops a root system extens:v.
enough that no moisture may pee

moisture is lost from the fallow fie:.

condition.
How Moisture Evaporates.
If we set a pan of water on for
unprotected' surface soil it will loos:
one-half inch.. of water daily durin
the dry weather. A similar pan c,
water set in the corn Held or wheat
Geld where it is protected by tin
growing crop will not lose as much
in a week. From the foregoing. I:
will be noted that the most import-
ant tillage to save the moisture for
the corn plant is done previous to the
time. that the plant has attained a
height of 12 or 15 inches. When the
corn is that high it has developed a
root system large enough to prevent
loss of soil moisture. Tillage done
after the corn is 16 inches high has
its main benefit in removing the
weeds that compete with the corn for
moisture and nourishment. All taken
by weeds directly robs the corn crop.
In experiments that were conducted
to determine the infiuence of weeds
on corn yield it was found that shal-
low cultivation gave an increase of
63 bushels of corn per acre over
where weeds were allowed to grow.
Deep Cultivation Not Necessary.
There is no real necessity of cul-
tivating deep, unlessit is to cover
large weeds. If the work is done in
proper time the weeds will not get
large and shallow tillage will take
care of them, and at the same time
the corn roots will not be inured
by the cultivator teeth. Broad cu
ing cultivator teeth that do not
loosen the soil more than two inches
deep give conditions most favorable
to the full development of the corn
plant. The type of cultivating usual-
ly spoken of as "Rip her up deep,"
"Let her down deep," increases the
labor and reduces the yield,
Frequent Cultivations a Benefit.
Up to the time that the corn shades
the ground cultivate frequently, and
not over two inches deep; after that,
continue to cultivate shallow pninci-
pally with the object of destroying
weeds. -Department of- Extension,

When the dog flea finds the dog,

And so it is with plants, they all have
their bacteria. Generations of living
together have developed kinds and
types, with their likes and dislikes.
Tach particular plant has its asso-
ciated bacteria which become active
when they come in contact with the
root. We have long known the close
association between the roots of the
clover plant and certain bacteria, to
the general advantage of both, This
discovery was made largely through
