Of 1,458 radio stations of all sizes licensed to broadcast since broadcasting began, only 53(5 were active on January 1 this year. Arrangements. The department has made arrangements with more than 100 stations for broadcasting official market news gathered by department representatives In leading shipping and consuming areas. Since the first of the year the department has made arrangements with about 00 stations to broadcast on a regular schedule four additional services dealing with general agricultural Information. Literally hundreds of stations have requested the privilege of handling the government reports, but many of tin requests have had to be refused the department says, because the stations are remote from the departments market news branch offices. When the experimental radio market news service was announced on December 21, 1920, the report slates, those In the Department of Agriculture who were directing the new activity hardly anticipated the wonderful possibilities of radio broadcasting as we now know It.

Developments In radio transmission went ahead by leaps and hounds, hut the reception of signals was hampered by the lack of proper means for detecting them. Many men worked upon this problem. J. A. Fleming, for Instance, invented the valve," which was the forerunner of the radio tube developed by DeForest In this country. But the detecting device which became most popular In the early days of radio was the crystal detector, as developed by Dimvoody and Ilcard ami Introduced In 1900. By means of the crystal detector the received elec- - Champion X . exclusively for Ford packed in the Red Box OUC 426 J. A. Fleming. trie current Is so modified that. It win operate a telephone receiver. Up to this time there had been so few radio stations that there was little difficulty about the signals of more than one station being received at the same time and interfering" with one another. However, such difficulties were anticipated by other factors which overcame .them.. The length of waves sent out by the transmitting station depends upon certain constants of the apparatus, Just as the length of a water wave depends upon the object which causes the disturbance in the water and is responsible for the waves. Thus a cork dropped into a pond will send out little, short, choppy waves,- - while if a big ocean liner overturns, the splash It makes will be followed by giant waves of great length. By adjusting certain parts of the transmitting apparatus the length of wave that it sends out may be controlled, and b.v adjusting similar parts of the receiving apparatus one may control the wave-lengito which it will respond. This adjustment is called Inning. Thus, very early in the history of radio transmitting, stations hear each oilier were tuned to different' so that the operator of a receiving set could tune to eny one of h ivave-'ength- theta.- Champion for cere other then Ford mg pecked in the Blue Box JC Champion Dependable for Every Engine Toledo, Ohio Firmness and Obstinacy What Is firmness of purpose with some people Is inejre obstinacy In the other fellow.

C., Bellefonte, Pa., St. Louis, Mo., and Omaha, Neb. ' Amateurs Were Enlisted. Assuming an effective radius of audibility of 300 miles about each station, licensed amateurs in the areas covered were enlisted to copy the reports and to furnish them to shippers associations, county agents, state bureaus of markets, farm bureaus and other agricultural agencies, banks, newspapers and local telephone exchanges. A number of licensed operators offered to copy the reports. I!y January 1, 1922, the market reports were being relayed and broadcast by radio telegraph from seven post office stations in a chain across the country.
