Bill for Radio Control Aims to Break Monopoly
Washington reports Senator Borah introduced a comprehensive bill to regulate radio, transferring control from the Department of Commerce to a national radio commission. The proposed body would issue licenses, assign bands and wavelengths, set power and operating times, and divide licenses across five zones to curb monopolies, with seven year terms at ten thousand dollars a year. Borah argues the measure enforces anti trust laws and prevents consolidation, while predicting strong opposition from influential radio interests.

Rate of Planting for Corn Germination Under 85 Percent
Guidance on seeding rates when corn seed germination falls below eighty five percent. Recommends adjusting the planted population to compensate for lower germination to achieve target stand establishment. Includes practical steps for calculating proper seed quantity per acre and considerations for soil conditions and emergence.
Planting density findings at Nebraska stations
Tests at the Nebraska experiment station show yields similar from uniform stands and uniform rows if gaps are avoided and plant density is kept constant. Lincoln trials favor 10,068 plants per acre, about three per hill, while North Platte shows best average at 6,600 plants per acre. Germination rates matter this year to adjust planting accordingly.
