GET FORECASTS BY WIRELESt
i
Kansas Agricultural College Makes
Arrangement to Furnish Farmers
With Weather Probabilities.
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.

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.

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

League Covenant in Esperanto.
In the case of most international
conventions a version la one language,
customarily French, is taken as the
original text The treaty of Versailles,
however, stipulates that the French
and English texts shall have equal authority.
But a perfectly equivalent
translation of anything more complex
than the multiplication table Is Impossible
and already controversies '
have arisen over supposed dlscrepan- cies
in the two versions. So the Es- j
perantists of Paris have published
their "Kontrakto de la Ligo de Nacloj" I
