THE DAILY BULLETIN "College Station, Texas, Friday, February 13, 1920. Number 116 fi | IS EASY VICTORY FOR THE AGGIES to Stop the Victorious Progress of the Farmers.

This kind of enthusiasm is not a strong incentiveito exceptional But the fact that they gave a good Director Driver said the different from the last game in Dallas whieh he describ- | ed as “a pretty game”, this one was rough throughout.

The wireless station of the Electrical Engineering Department has been perfected and improved by the extension of the tower erected on top of the E. E. Building until the students are now able to send and receive messages eight hundred and fifty miles distant. A message was picked up from Sioux City, Iowa, this week and re- layed on to the Pacific Coast. Sioux City is between eight hundred and. fifty and nine hundred miles distant. There seems to be some kind of a break between the station there and the stations along the Pacific Coast by reason of the fact that the mes- sage was sent here for relay. Some students of Electrical En- gineering are becoming quite pro- ficient in the operation of the wire- less apparatus, and the work is very interesting, which is easily under- stood when it is remembered that the operator can “listen in” on any con- | versation that is going on within the radius of his plant. All that is nec- essary is to pick the words out of the atmosphere and make the oper- ator a party to any conversation go- ing on of from one hundred to twelve thousand meters in wave length is to “tune in” with them, or in other words to synchronize the wave lengths of this station with those of the station sending the mes- sage which he wishes to catch. Im- mediately that the wave lengths are made to harmonize the words are as intelligible here as to the station for which the message is intended. The only way to avoid this gen- eral dissemination among all sta- | tions is to make the words unintel- ligible by the use of a code, known only to the two parties for whom information was intended. This method is used in the sending of gov- ernment messages almost entirely. There are four classes of wireless messages heard by the College sta- tion, namely: commercial, amateur, government, and ship. The long range of receiving pos- essed by this station, very few others have, there are three sets of ap- paratus. One is for receiving from long distances, another less power- ful for shorter ranges, and a third used in amateur work: This station is licensed in the fifth district, composed of Alabama, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma, with headquarters in New Orleans. There are nine dis- tricts in the United States. The students exchange Preqnently with Houston, Waco, Dallas, Austin and Little Rock. All these are with- in easy distance. Professor Bolton expects the sta- tion to soon be able to communicate AH. DEPARTMENT MAKING ENTRIES FAT STOCK SHOW John C. Burns Says in Many Re- spects College Exhibits Stronger Than Ever Before. The Animal Husbandry Department is today completing livestock entries for the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show to be held in Fort Worth, March 6 to 13 inclusive. The exhibition will consist of four- teen head of cattle, composed chiefly of fat steers, of the Shorthorn, Here- ford, and Aberdeen-Angus breeds to be exhibited in the classes for sing- les. About twenty-five head of fat bar- rows, representing Poland-China, Duroc-Jersey and Tamworth breeds will be exhibited in the classes for singles and pens of three. Ten fat wethers representing the Southdown, Hampshire, and Shrop- shire breeds will be shown in the classes for singles and in pens of three. The Texas Experiment Station is feeding two carloads of high grade Hereford yearling steers under the supervision of John C. Burns, Head of the bandry that will be entered in the car- lot classes for fap cattle. All these steers were raised by the famous King Ranch at Kingsville, Texas. : In many respects the College live- stock exhibits are stronger than ever before. . Mr. Burns said that exhibitors are being attracted this year by premiums much higher than ever before. “The primium list of the show was issued a few days ago, he said, and according to the size of the premiums and preparations that are being made by the show management the Expo- sition this year will be bigger and bet- ter than ever before. “The prizes offered on beef cattle both in the breeding and fat classes and those offered on fat barrows in the hog division are especially at- tractive and should draw exhibits from the best herds in the United States. “This show is already considered in the class with the International Ex- position and Livestock Show held in Chicago, and in fact it is often re- ferred to as the International of the South.” Bh WELL KNOWN WRITER HERE Mrs. J. W.

The contest began last fall, when Mr. Googins of Swift and Company wrote Mr. Burns as follows: “Swift and Company, during peri- od of light receipts each winter, fead a few sheep to fill in orders, feed- ing lot north of Yards. “It has occurred to us that we and A. and M. students are mutually renee in feeding results. As you know, Swift and Company have a very warm spot in their heart for an A. and M. College man. We be- lieve A. and M. College men are very essential to the libe stock industry and it in turn is most essential to the packing industry. “With permission, we will offer to the student body the following proh- lem: “For the one who makes the best formula to produce the greatest gain in the shortest length of time and for the least cost per pound on above sheep, form attached list of available feeds and prices we ean obtain them for, necessary formula from this list, the judge to be Mr. Burns or one he may choose: prize of $20.00 for the first, $10.00 for the second and $5.00 for the third.” Mr. Burns, assisted by Mr. Miller, in charge of the A. H. sheep work, selected six rations submitted by the above men, as the best. Sixteen sen- iors in all submitted a formula in contest for the prizes.
