A MESSAGE SENT
FROM SIOUX CITY
PICKED UP HERE
Wireless Station Here Now Receiv-
ing Messages Eight Hundred
and Fifty Miles.
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.”

GIVEN BIG PRIZES
For Best Feeding Rations Asked for
by J. B. Googins, Manager of
Swift and Company.
John C. Burns head of the de-
partment of Animal Husbandry, has
awarded the following prizes paid by
Swift and Company of Fort Worth
through their manager, J. B. Googins
for the best formula for feeding
sheep. Those receiving prizes were:

All are seniors in the Animal Hus-
bandry Department.
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

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.
The names of these men, together
with the formula for
