THE FOURTH ESTATE
.Early . Canadian Journalism Discussed
by Louis Blake Duff; at Trenton
"Carlyle was the first person to re-
fer to the press as the fourth estate,"
said Louis Blake Duff, of the Well-
and Tribune and Telegraph, before
the Trenton Canadian Club, recent-
ly. "Old-world assembles recognized
three divisions of those in attendance,
namely the aristocracy,.. the clergy,
.,and the common people. Carlyle ob-

;gallery, "There is now a fourth estate,

of Woodrow Wilson's death, by radio,
eleven mintateS after it happened.
"Printing was first carried on by
means of movable type," said Mr.
Duff, "in Germany in 1441, Caxton,
a London mercer with literary aspir-
ations, tired of makingcopies of his
works 'for distribution among his
friends, and went to Germany to sttidy
the process. Hereturned and set
up the first Englishin one

To this day, printing rooms in En-
gland, are known as chapels.
"In 1615, the first newspaper in
the world was published at Frank

was not published until 1645 The
'first Canadian newspaper, The Kali

1776, at the time of the American re-
volution, the Boston News -Letter was
owned and operated by Mrs. John
Draper Finding Boston was too
warm, she moved to Halifax and es-
tablished the Halifax Journal. Gen-
eral Murray ,on whom fell the mantle
of the dying Wolfe, founded the Que-
bec Gezette in 1764.
"The first reference to a newspaper
in this province," said Mr. Duff, "was
contained. in a letter written by the
young bride" of William Jarvis, provin-
cial secretary, stationed at Niagara..
He found all the copying entailed by
his position very irksome, and import-
ed a printer from Quebec who pub-
lished the first Ontario Newspaper at
Niagara."

t
requests reach thie office asking for
ways and means of killing obnoxious
plants without applying the general
methods of soil tillage. Poisoning,
poison oak, poison sumac, and poisot
hemlock are the most frequently men-
tioned plants. e
The usefulneps of chemicals ae
weed killers is limited to the follow-
ing' cases,: --
1.' When the 'obnoxious weed oc-
.curs in limited areas and is to be
destroyedregardlese of the effects of
the 'chemical on the soil or nearby
plants.
2. When it is desired to render the
soil sterile, as on tennis courts,
paths, roadways or gutters.
3. When the plant that it is de-
sired to kill is more sensitive to
chemicals than the other plants oc-
cupying the same ground, as in the
case of mustard in oats, or orange
hawk weed in grass.
iioN Chemicals Act.
Some preparations, as arsenic and
carbolic acid', used in weed .killing act
directly and quickly as plant poisons,
others such as common salt may
draw the water from the tender green
growth, or by holding the soil mois-
ture so that it cannot be used by the
plant roots. Young and tender plants
in active growth succumb to the
plant poison much more readily than
do the older plants.

TRAIN RADIO TESTS MADE
By R. M. Sherrill
'(Radio Engineer)
Officials of the American Railway
Association and the Zenith Radio Cor-
poration have
orporation,have been conductng some.
interesting tests with radio transmiss-
ion and reception on moving trains.
The experiments were carried out on
the New York Central System on a
special train operating between Chi-
cago and Elkhart, Ind.
The latest of these experiments con-
sisted particularly of short wave radio-
phone, tests between the engine and
caboose of a long freight train and
have ben quite successful. By means
of the radiophone, the engineer was
able to tell those in the caboose that
the train had started several seconds
before the slack could be taken tip
and the .motion communicated to the
near end of the long train.
Various phases of train radio com-
munication problems were tested
throughout the run, in the presence
of a number of representatives from
the various transportation " systems,
the American Railway Association,
and the press. *,
These tests are but a few of a se-
ries that have been carried out and
more are to be made from time to
time. The object of all thetests
is to determine the practicability of
using radio as a means of safeguard-
ing railroad traffic: -
Prospector Skis 24 Miles
To Send Thanks
Some of the station announcers who
plead: so fervently for letters ce•m-
menting on their programs should feel
gratified at the spirit of the man who
took a 24 -mile hike to get a "thanks
message" to K G' 0.
Snowbound in the mountains of
Idaho, two prospectors have listened
to KGO programs for two years until
conscience finally drove one of them
to ski 24 miles to the nearest post
office to mail a letter of appreciation.
"To you and all who broadcast,"
their letter states, "we experss .,ur
years and we can wait no longer. Ev-
gratitude. We have listened for two
'en if it does mean a trip of 24 miles
on skis, we are going to write."
Applause Telegrams
Cost Reduced
Broadcast listeners who are, n • e.,-
siastic enough about radio programs
to spend their money on telegrams
to the broadcasting stations have been
paying at the word rate for each of
the call letters.
Both of the large telegraph corn-
panies have now decided that call lett-
ters up to five letters may now go
as one word, providing they are writ-
ten close together in the form of a
single word.
Another Angle To
The Radio Game
It was revealed recently that pur-
chasers of radio stocks have lost more
than $96,000,000 on their investments
during the past two years. Over satu-
ration of the radio market has been
given as the reason for this situation.
It was brought about by the various
radio corporations which were finan-
ced for the production of radio appar-
atus, Hundreds of these mushroom
concerns have now disappeared.
It has been estimated that for ev-
ery radio set sold in 1924, the public
bought one share of radio stock. Now,
however, since tile radio industry has
become more stabilized, the future is
much brighter.
RADIO QUESTIONS and ANSWER
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherill willl be glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
hint in care of this paper.)
Q,-0. B', L. asks,"Is it better to
use a crystal detector than a tube de-
tector than a tube detector in a re-
flex set?"
tins:—The crystal detector will be
more stable and quiet in a
reflex
set. The tube detector will be more
sensitive but will have a tendency to
howl very easily.
Q. -J. S. G. wants to know: "About
what range could be expected from an
average 5—tube Neutrodyne with a
good antenna?"
Ans::-It' is impossible to estimate
the range for different sets and weath-
er conditions. Such a set might` be.
very reliable up to 2,000 miles in win-
ter. In poor radio weather the sane
set might be very unreliable on sta-
tions 200 miles away.
Q.-IJI,K.E .asks: "How long may
a C battery be used before it should
be replaced by a new one?"
Ans:—If a large sized C battery is
used, it may be used from Six months
to a year. A. smaller one would not
last so long. The best way is to
check up 011 the C battery voltage
frequently with a voltmeter and re-
place the battery as soon as its volt-
age drops below to per of its nor-
mal value.
Chemicals Used.
Common Salt. -If 'applied -in quan-
tity in dry hot weather, in very strong
solution or dry is effective and not
expensive. Must suited against road
way or path weeds. .:
Copper Sulphate.—Used in solu-
tions from 2 to 10 . per cent. it is
effective against rough leaf plItnts as
the mustards. More powerful in its
action than salt, it is expensive. A
3 per cent. solution is used against
mustard in grain. Such a solution
can be made by dissolving 10 ponnes.
of copper sulphate in x,0 gallons of
water, and 40 to 50 gallons of this
spray are required for each acre
treated.
Sulphuric Acid.—This weed killer
's rather dangerous to handle. It it
destructive to all vegetation to whici
,t may be applied. It must be Peta-
lled in glass as it destroys metals
Owing to risks in handling, it is not
;enerally recommended.
Caustic Soda.—A strong solution
if caustic soda while rendering tin
toil sterile, is very effective as a weer.
killer and is used with success
against poison ivy and other hardy
deep-rooted plants. For best effect
it is applied during hot dry weather.
Carbolic Acid.—Crude carbolic,' acid
diluted with 15 to 20 parts of water
makes a cheap and effective weed
killer. It can be handled with safety
and will'not injure the spray pump.
Itis best applied by spraying on the
plants, or saturating the surface ,soil.
Arsenate of Soda.—Arsenate of
soda, used at the rate of 1 pound to
3 to 6 gallons of, water, is very effec-
tive as a killer of obnoxious plants
It may be applied as a spray to the
plants or soil. It is very durable, in
that it is not readily washed from
the koil. Most useful on roads and
paths:
White Arsenic and Washing Soda,
—These two substances mixed in the
following 'proportions, white arsenic
1 pound and washing soda 2 pounds,
with. 5 or 6 gallons of water, make
a very effective herbicide:
Lawn weeds such as chickweed or
orange hawk weed or other juicy
leaved weeds can best be combatted
by heavy applications of salt. Such
should be applied on a hot bright day
in July, broadcasting at the rate of
two or even four quarts of fine salt
per square rod. (Try it out on a
square yard first to find out what
your soil and grass will stand). Rake
out the dead weeds, sprinkle on some
more grass seed and water, well.—
cloudy weather.

Summer pruning of roses is essen-
tial for best results, says Prof. A. H.
Tomlinson, of the Ontario' Agricul-
tural College. Old flowers should be
cut away, and dead growth or weak'
shoots should be treated likewise. Old
flowering shoots, immediately after'
the 'flowers have done should be cut
back, especially early in the season
to a strong prominent bud. With
Teas and possibly Hybrid Perpetuals
new flowering wood will develop very
quickly. When pruning is done a
quick acting fertilizer should be dis-.
tribiited over the surface,—nitrate of.
sora, acid phosphate or blood meal.
After fertilizing, should the season
be dry water the plants well. Early
morning or early afternoon are the,
best periods for the watering of roses.
