PROGRESS OF RADIO
THROUGH THE YEARS
Wireless Research Began Long
Ago, But Development Has
Been Swift Lately.
Wireless research started many
years ago, a« far Back even as 1827.
Even the radio telephone is not a re-
cent perfection; rather It is that intro-
duction to the layman of the human
voice and music has suddenly popular-
ized something that wlrelgss men had
thought a pastime or amusement. Here
is the chronological record of wire-
less :
1827—It was found that the mag-
netic discharge from a leyden jar
would magnetize a steel needle.
1831 — Electro-magnetic Induction
was discovered between two entirely
repurate circuits by Michael Faraday.
3837—Cooke and Whoatstone of
London, England, and Morse of the
United States take out first patent for
electric telegraph.
1838—K. A. Stelnhell of Munich
suggested that n system of wireless
telegraphy could be established after
his discovery of the use of the earth
return.
1840—Joseph Henrr (U. S. A.) pro-
duced the first high-frequency elec-
tric oscillations, and stated that the
condenser discharge is oscillatory.
1842 — Wireless experiments were
made by S. E. B. Morse by electric
conduction through water across
Washington canal and across wide
rivers.
1843—A wireless system for trans-
atlantic communication was-suggested.
1845—Wnter was used as a conduct-
ing medium in wireless experiments
across a wide river.
1840—Intelligible signals were act-
ually sent across a river 4,500 feet
wide In India, but the cost was found
prohibitive for commercial use.
1867—The electric waves that are
now utilized In wireless telegraphy
and telephony were predicted in an
distance of 00 miles by radio signal*.
1901—Hadto communication started
with five islands in the Hawailai
group. The first British ship is fitted
with the wireless telegraph.
1902—Radiograph signals received
aboard vessels at sea at 1,500 statute
miles. Signals rei*eived frn^i a dis-
tance of miles.
1903—King Edward receives a ra-
dio message from President Roosevelt.
High-power stations* were ordered by
the Italian government. First trans-
atlantic radio message sent. Tele-
graphic news service for ships at sea
is started. Marconi knighted in Rus-
sia.
1904—The first press message was
gent across the sea.
1905—Patent suit started in New
York between the Marconi and l>e For-
est company.
Patent for horizontal directional
aerial is taken out. Tills was a great
step forward in long distance work.
1906—International conference Is
held in Berlin, at which most of the
countries of the world are represented.
1907—The use of steel disks for
producing notes were successfully
tested.
Itndio stations In Ireland and Nova
Scotia were opened for limited public
service.
1908—Radio stntlons opened for un-
limited public service between Great
Britain and Canada.
1900—Steamship in collision with an-
other off the coast of Florida suc-
ceeds In calling assistance by radio.
1010—-Marconi receives messages
a,700 miles while on board ship going
to South America.
Spanish radio company formed.
1911—Canadian government leased
radio stations for 20 years.
1912—Radio distress signals from
the Titanic bring assistance and save
lives of 700 passengers.
1913—Tests were made between the
Eiffel tower In France and the sta-
tion at Washington. During the trip
Into Central Asia an explorer received
his longitude and time signals from a
distant radio station
1914—Marconi and radio officials
start test of wireless telephone be-
tween vessels of the Italian fleet. The
test was continued between vessels on
the high seas and voices were heard
with clarity at a distance of 44 miles.
One day radio telephone communica-
tion was kept up constantly for 12
hours. Great Britain declared war

Purebred live stock has about 40
per cent greater earning power (apart
from its breeding or sale value) than
scrub stock.
The superiority of purehreds on a
utility busts is due principally to:
Belter conformation and quality. In-
creased production, more economical
production, and earlier maturity.

]880—The sending of an electric cur-
rent through earth was systematical
,ly studied by John Trowbridge of
Harvard. It was found that signal-
ing might be carried on over large
distances between places not connected
by wires.
1885—It was found that telephonic
speech could be conveyed by induction
over a space of quarter mile. This
experiment took place in hngland.
1889—Electric waves were sug-
gested as being particularly suitable
for the sending of signals through
fogs.
1892—An instrument for the detec-
tion of Electro-magnetic waves was
discovered which was given the name
of a "coherer."
1894—A scientist of Berlin signaled
through three miles of water.
189(5—High frequency waves excite
curiosity of Senatore Marconi.
1896—First patent for practical
wireless transmitting system is taken
out in London by Marconi. Afterward,
successful signaling was carried out
over distances as great as one and
one-quarter miles. Sir William I'reece
of the British postofflce system in-
' terested his cohorts in Marconi's wire-
less experiments.
1897—Marconi establishes communi-
cation between points four miles dis-
tant. Balloons were used to suspend
antennae.
Marconi demonstrates his wireless
system before the king of Italy, com-
municating with two Italian warships
nine miles distant.
The first Marconi station is erected
on the Isle of Wight and experiments
conducted over a distance of 14 miles.
Near the end of the year the first
flouting wireless station was success-
fully operated.
1898—The first paid marconigram

1917—Senatore Marconi visits the
United States and aids greatly in re-
cruiting for radio operators for the
United States army.
1918—Wireless telephony progressed
rapidly, being used to a great extent
in fiie equipment of airplanes.
Several new long range stations
were erected in the United Stales, it
being claimed for one built at Annapo-
lis, Md., that it was capable of com-
munication at 4,000 miles. The United
States government also opened a high-
power station at Bordeaux.
In September of this year radio sig-
nals sent from a point Ri.ooo miles
away were received in Sydney, Aus-
tralia.
1919—With the exception of the
three transatlantic flights—that of the
U. S. NC-4, and the British flights of
Alcock and Brown and the dirigible
B,'i4, in which radio communication
played an important part in keeping
the ships of the air on their courses-
no very great progress was made in
radio telegraphy, although radio tele-
phony was being pushed along quietly.
Restrictions upon amateur teceiving
and sending were lifted by the Ameri-
can government.
1020—Tills was the year of the radio
telephone, more attention probacy be-
in'.' paid to this branch of radio than
to* its older brother, telegraphy. Sev-
eral broadcasting stations were opened.

more salable than that of non-purebred
sires and brings nearly 00 per cent
greater returns.
The foregoing are a few results of
a recent Inquiry conducted by the
bureau of animal industry. United
States Department of Agriculture. Th< j
figures are based on about 25,000 head
of breeding stock owned by r>2.r> experi
enced live-stock owners. Besides, the
same persons own 30.000 fowls on
which the poultry results are bused.
All of these stockmen have for several
years—ait average of nine—used pure-
bred sires to head their herds and
flocks.
Figures Are Conservative.
The figures mentioned were obtained
during lite last part of 1921 in a peri-
od of marked depression in the live
stock Industry. Partly for that rea-
son they are considered conservative

high value of purebred* over com-
mon stock.
The purpose of obtaining tills new
information was to supply an increas-
ing demand for facts of greater scope
than single short-time observations.1
With the development of the Federal-
State campaign for "Better Sires—
Better Stock" fite Department lias re-
ceived an unusually large number of
requests asking what purehreds can
do for the man who does not aspire
to become a specialized breeder.
"What can I expect from purebred
them the proper 'are and opportunity
to prove their worth.
The bureau lias abundant evidence
corroborating tills belief. One farmer
relates that llie Impelling force which
prompted him to acquire purehreds
was the need for more income. lie
reasoned tlml ownership of purehreds
was not the proverbial wealthy man's
diversion, but I he poor man's necessity.
He obtained tlie best foundation stock
within liis means and gave 11 good
care; It increased his returns 100 per
cent.
The inquiry shows that for the most
part purebred aniuials of good type
are readNy obtainable. But special
requirements or a desire for the less
common breeds generally Involve some
difficulties and higher prices.
About its per cent of the purebred
live-stock owners reporting to the De-
partment were salisfied both with I lie
purehreds themselves and Hie progeny,
except when they expressed the de-
sire for still better stock. As one breed-
er explained, the desire for improve-
ment is necessary for progress. A
few had unfortunate experience with
purehreds of inferior quality and point-
ed out the need for making selections
with great care. Practically all re-
ports agreed on the principle tliaf su-
perior qualltj among purehreds them-
selves is invariably worth a higher
cost.
Numerous sidelights on tlie raising
of improved live stock under practi
cal farm conditions and through differ
cut periods, including last year's period
of depression, have been obtained from

is essentially what scores of thought-

Superiority of Purebreds.
The superiority, based on utility, of

The relatively high percentages rep

greater facilities for keeping produc-
tion records of these classes of live
stock, thereby contributing to their
Improvement.
A Profitable Investment.
The average reported increase in

more fully in a circular which the De-
partment Is preparing for publication.
Summary.
1. Based on utility alone (entirely
apart from breeding or sales value)
purebred live stock lias an earning
power from a third to one-half greater
than scrub stock. The average su-
periority of purebreds over scrubs for
all classes of farm animals is about
40 per cent.
•J (if tiie principal points in which
purehreds excel other stock, the most
prominent are: Superiority and uni-
formity in conformation and type,
greater sale value, greater and more
economical production, and earlier ma
turity.
3. Surplus purebreds are readily sal-
able at satisfactory prices in a ma-
jority of cases; but sales and prices
i depend largely on the quality of stock
as shown by breeding and production
records, also on the business ability
of the breeder.
4. With rare exceptions, purebred-
sire users are satisfied with the <inal-
lty of t lie offspring obtained, except
that the desire is created In many
cases to further Improve the quality.
5. The progeny of purebred sires
has practically a 50 per cent greater
sale value than the progeny of non-
purebredB.
6. Purebred sires of good quality
are readily obtainable in the experi-
ence of three-fourths of the breeders
reporting. The principal difficulties
are: I'aylng the price and finding the
desirable type, hut there is practically
unanimous agreement that the results
Justify the cost.
7. The average increase In financial
returns, from live stock raising, trace-
able to the use of purebred sires is
48 per cent.
8. Each breeder of purebred live
stock Influences, on an average, about
nine other persons to raise superior
animals.
9. (If the chief Influences which
cause farmers to become breeders of
purebred live stock, the three foremost
are: Heading agricultural periodicals
and bulletins, general observation, and
county agents.
10. The principal methods by which
breeders expect to continue to improve
their stock are: Use of superior sires,
careful selection and mating, and use
of superior females.
