A new radio year ha started,

Radio has been proftn thoroughly
stabilized and during the coming
year the chief'. concern of, fans
will be tuning In until they locate

desires.; .- -
.The recent, radio exhibitions
have displayed the latest achieve

reflected improvements ' and" re

are indicative of the futur of ra

of radio have been, standardized.

It also will give additional Joy
to many of the regular fans who,

InvestigaUon ot profitable use
of electricity ori the Oregon farm
h-ave been undertaken by the com
mittee on the relation of elec

Electricity is now used in some
form on about one-seventh of the
Oregon farms, 7500 In all. About
SO 00 of- these 'buy their supply
from the light and power oompa-
Lnies, and 2500 produce their own.
The present studies, which wjll be
conducted -by the Oregon experi
ment station, are to determine the
cost and the profits of electricity
for irrigation, grinding feed,
dairying; p oultry "production,
spraying, grain elevating, and
drying fruit. Other uses will be
studied as occasion, arises.
A preliminary survey has al
ready been made which show's that

art of using It on the farm. The
problem is to find whether the
farmer can handle a" 'load.., large
enough to justify the construction
of the ; lines, and purchase of
equipment . and .service.' "Total

1 :M! Farms Kurvoyotl
The survey of .136 farms using
electricity showed that there are
an average of 4:17 farmers to
each mile of electric line although
one-fourth of them are not using
the current because they are un
able to finance it. It would take
about 20,000 miles of light and
power" wife to serve the- 50,000
farms of the state, at the rate of
2.5 farms-per mile of wire- Tlie
cost of this wiring would be about
the farm and equipping it for elec
tric power twice this sum. or 60
million : dollars in all. However
desirable rural; electrification may
be. it is too big a protect to bte
installed before "its ability to pay
for itself has been ascertained.
A significant .fact, disclosed by
-the 8urvey wa tha t -5 6 per" cent
of. the current used on the 10 liaes
4s used on 9 per cent of the farms,
and 'chiefly for irrigation: , Thus
at 'present, the Individual Current
use Is low through lack of .econ
omic" Information, whleh 'discour
ages' line extension, as the resent
rnral lines are unprofitable ' be
cause of the small current used.
There are many . opinions of
tosts and values under larger use,
but not ascertained facts, which
can be learned only through ex
perimenting. "We fall into the
proper . channel only after trying
and exhausting everv nosssible
variety of error," says the report

That the electricity can be sup

longer a question. The state has,
plenty of potential power In its
mighty rivers and - mountain
streams, r But the committee
points out that ".water running
down hill is one thing, while elec
tricity set to work on the farm
by turning a button is quite an
other.' '

The Denlson Radio sales plan
Is announced, whereby all . deal
ers can be represented at one
place of business or radio studio
without any bothersome trade or
ganizations or useless contracts.
The success of this plan Is based
on fair dealing ,the dealers' free
dom to conduct his business as he
desires,, and to join or withdraw
fr"om the studio as he wishes..
The management of the Radio
Studoi is hot by the dealers, but
by one or more men whose repu
tation is such that the dealers'
confidence; -can, be obtained. A
brief outline of the plan follows:
All dealers are invited to furn
ish one or more of their standard
radio-sets to be demonstrated at
the Radi(r Studio. All Bets to be
used on the fiame .antenna under
like .condition. The sets are all
to stand on their own merits, and
no advertising. talks, are allowed
at the studio. Questions will be
answered by the manager . and
prices given.
If the -sale can be closed then,
a deposit is, taken and the order
given to the proper dealer. If
the prospect cannot be sold then.
the dealer whose radio the pros
pect is most interested in, is noti
fied.
The Radio Studio is well adver
tised, comfortable, and possesses
an average antenna. The radio
is sold on a commission and in
come cases it will be necessary to
divide with the dealer. Dealers
are welcome at the studio, but as
a gtiost only, and are not allowed
to talk trade.

a perfectly- good car that has
