The Kansas Agricultural college | has announced that It will furlnsh the i weather forecasts to e^ery Kansas | fanner by wireless telegraph. The | fanner will be required to install an | amateur wireless set with which to | receive the forecast. These sets cost I about $35 each and can be operated 1 by any person. They cannot be used I for sending messages for any con- ? siderahle distances but they will re- | eelve the powerful messages of the g big plants. The forecasts are to be I sent out at 9:55 each morning under f standard code and on the ware | length of 375 meters, short enough for | any amateur set to take. This ware I length is also long enough and the f college plant is powerful enough so | that the message will reach every ! point in the state. The forecast will J be sent at the rate of 18 words a f minute and then repeated at 10 words J a minute. The service is to be given j free to every farmer, high school, j or to any other person or institu- ? tlon having a wireless set. The high f schools in the small communities are ? to distribute the forecast to the banks and stores and to the telephone companies. The knowledge of the probable weather is of considerable importance to farmers during the har- , vest and baying season, and to stock- i men during the winter, for they can make preparations for feeding and sheltering stock upon knowing of an | approaching storm. i PUN MORE OSTRICH PLUMES South African Raisers of the Birds Bo- * lleve They Can Largely Increase the Supply. An effort Is being made by South j African ostrich fanners to increase i the plume quills of ostrlehes, and Pro- ! feasor Deverden believes this can bt done by as much as 25 per cent, but W. P. Py craft, the great English naturalist, is skeptical. The number of plumes from each I wing averages 36. and occasionally runs as high as 42 In the South AM- j can species and 39 in the North Afrt- ! can. The latter is the larger bird j and its bones are denser. The Groot IODieiQ scnooi 01 Agriculture is u/w| i by proper mating to breed a race of 42 plnme birds. * ' Professor Pycraft writes in the ITlns- j trated -London News that the ancea- j tor of the ostrich undoubtedly poe- j eeesed the power of flight when the j wing quills of the hand numbered 16. j while the secondary feathers, attached j along the forearm, probably did not j exceed 26. This was the original In- ! heritauce and it can never be In- , | creased, especially now that the whole ( j wing has degenerated into a mere . j wreck of Its original self. There are now about 1.000.000 birds I on the African ostrich farms and the | aloe of their exported feathers li j about $15,000,000. a Overcoming Plant Diaeaaa. Announcement by scientists at Cambridge university that It Is now possible to breed disease-proof plants, following a long series of Immunising tests applied to grains, potatoes and other growths, ought to shed a ray of tight upon the world sortly vexed by food problems. Potato disease alone has cost tills country untold millions of dollars. If this one article of food could be protected against the destructive fungi that attack It so persistently, a solid food basis would be assured. As It is, potatoes, which should be the cheapest and most plentiful food, now fluctuate from moderate prices to prices tbat are absurdly high. The checking of plant disease is second only in importance to overcoming the diseases that attack humanity. At this time of food scarcity any progress tbat can he made toward ?in? th# world's (TODS will be VVUOVI T ? w m doubly a blessing.?New York Trib- I one. League Covenant in Esperanto.
