• Henry Sadenwaea;, engineer in the

KOA, said in a recent address that
■ the use of the term "super -power" is,

■, The Department of Commerce has
■ ' estimated that the range of five kil-
mi owatt station. is approximately thirty
■+miles for ninety per cent service to
O the listeners. This means 24 hour ser-
arli vice every day of the year. Mr. Sad-
®' enwater believes this is a fair esti
®I mate in view of his knowledge that
■ rthere are places within loo miles. of
® the 5o kilowatt transmitter of WGY
where satisfactory service cannot be
• received because of interference and,
01 strangely low signal levels.
®I He also believes that the next prac-
• tical step forward is to increase again
■ the power of the broadcast transniitt-
® ers,by a factor of ten. First the'sta-
■ .tions wen
■ t from 500 watts to 5,000
■ watts, and now two 50,000 watt sta-
tions are providing more reliable ser-
® vice to their listeners. The next step
® to gi1ve any gain in volume to broad -
111 cast listeners should be 500,000 watts
® or 5o0 kilowatts.
■ "Such an increase in power would
■ markedly increase the cost of opera -
111 ting the station," said Mr. Sadenwater,
"ane; we do not know if such a step
is practical. But even then there is
® no justificationfor terming such pow-
® er as super -power. The station will
® only be more nearly equal to its task
® of supplying signals well above the
111 noise level over a reasonable range of
■ , 250 miles."

RADIO QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Mr. Sherill will be glad to help you
solve your radio problems. Write him
in care of this paper.
O. S. says: "The terminals on
my storage A battery are constnatly
corroding., Even though I clean
them thoroughly and coat them with
vaseline the corrosion returns. Is: there
any pther gray of obtaining clean con-
nectors?"
Anse—The corrosion is caused by
acid creeping along the lead. It may
be overcome by, burning some strips
of lead about to inches long on to
the lead terminals of the battery. Or-
dinary binding posts may be used on
the other, end of these strips with less
danger of their corroding.
Q.—P. N, L. ` says: "I am using a
chemical rectifier for charging my
storage T3 batteries .. The borax in
the solution seems to crystalize on.
the aluminum .plates just above the
electrolyte. Is there any way of pre-
venting this?"
Ans.:—A thin layer of paraffine oil
on the top of the electrolyte will pre-
vent the borax 'from crystalizing out
and at the same time will prevent the
s elution from evaporating so rapidly.
Q.—S, E. R. says: "I have just built
a three tube set using one stage of R.
F. amplification, The set has been
carefully built and good parts were
used throughout, but am disappointed
because it does not tune more sharp-
ly. What is most'. likely to be the
cause of this?"
Ans.:—It is hard to say, but there
is a possibility that your aerial is too
long, or that it is too closely coupled
to the receiver,

Nitrogen, in a fertilizer formula ie

of 'ammoni5,, 12 units of phosphoric

pounds of ammonia, 240 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 120 pounds of

tension, 0. A. College,

The most reliable anci econoi1iical
method of securing information con-
cerning the soil of a certain; farm
can be secured by the taking or a
systematic series of borings over the
entire property. Such borings will
show the soil variations and be a gen-
eral guide to `the value of the tract,
as a producing farm. The taking of
soil borings may seem like a lot of
work, but it is well worth n !.,; even
if it takes a day, which is surely a.
short time when we consider that the
purchase of a farm may tie up a
man and his family for life. Better
to know something of the soil uud.er-
neath, before handing over the pur-
ohas`e price and then regretting it
later.
An auger adapted for soil borings
can be made from an . ordinary car-
penter's standard wood bit, by weld-
ing a six-foot extension on and then
removing the gimlet point, cutting
lugs, and then fish -tailing tite end of
the yeyerrn
f30is Viet soils, high water tables
and the need fer artificial drainage
can be readilydetermined with the
soil auger. A study of Ioeetious for
terra structures, wells, pit slots, etc.,
oann A so be page by below surface
fro"rings, w' h bu`t little effort; and
mistakes in location prevented.
It is well wertla while investigating
the sub -soil; it frequently is riot as
uniform as the surface, may change
in character quite suddenly and gine
quite a different value to the surface
soil on which various crops are
grown. Some soils are better than
others, due to the differences in sup -
soil. •
In boring a hole with a soil auger,
the surface trash and loose soil are
first removed, then set the auger and
twist down for six inches, withdraw
and remove soil. Go down the depth
desired, not attempting to lift more
than six inches of soil at a time. Lay
the borings out in the order that
such were removed in order that a
record may be kept of the various
soil changes. With the knowledge
gained from a localized' soil survey
the farm manager can plan the crop
rotations and soil management to
advantage and avoid needless mis-
takes with their losses.—L. Steven-
son, Dept. of Extension, 0. A. College.
Contlat Potato Leafhopper With
Bordeaux.
Close observations have shown that
the potato leafhopper is the cause: of
an injury that begins as e slight yel-
lowing, usually at the tip o1 a leaf.
The injury progresses; the leaf turas
brown, curls upward and dies. The
disease spreads from the margin to-
wards the mid -ria of the leaf moat
rapidly during dry, hot worth r.
Early potetoos may be so checked by
loss of foliage as to reduce ,all pos-
sible chance of. profit.
Bordeaux controle leafhopper and
prevents hopperburn. The

be applied to the underside of the
leaf. High pressure (150 polities)
should be used in order to cover the
leaves with a fine mist. Three epee -

PARMDR're PAPER REPUDIATES
HON. MR. KING
The Grain Growers' Guido, the of-
f inial mouthpiece of the farmer's
movement a
t Western Canada, has
taken the same attitude as The Farm-
cr's Sun, and repudiates the coalition
between : the a'rogressayesand the
Liberals. it realizes that the Pro-
gressives are simply being made the
catspaw to pull. Mr. King's chestnuts
vat of the fire, and that certain Ere
gressive leaders, who are ,lnerel.y cam-
ouflaged Liberals, have betreyed anci
ruined their party, They object to
the Progressives being nntde the don-
key -engine to ,put Mr. King jn pow-
er. The Grain Grower's' Guide's sum
up of the situation is irei;eresting, The
Guide has:litrae confidence in Mr.
King and says that he is the biggest
load the Liberal patty has to carry."
After a review of last session, '1 he

would condone wrongdoing evens

King is the type of leader wlto
does not know what he is going
to do to -day, to-moro'•w, or th
next day. His idea of stable gov-
ernment, as demonstrated by his
four years in office, means that,
if he be returned to power with
a clear majority over all other par-
ties, he will continue to violate -
party pledges and will whitewash
wrongdoing in his own party. Mr..
King is the biggest load the Liber-
al party has to carry."
