Suppose It can be seen then that a change of five volts in grid potential will accomplish the same result that 40 volts will In the plate circuit. The ratio of the voltage change to the plate current Is called the factor of the tube and Is denoted by the letter "K." In the tube just discussed the amplification factor would be 40 divided The amplification by five or eight. factor of the tubes available for ama-tu- r use at present is usually between. 4 and 10. The amplification factor is a function of the dimensions and relative positions of the elements In the tube. An incoming radio frequency alternating current applied to the grid vacuus tube is of a not only rectified but the variation in the plate Is multiplied by "K," the amplification factor of the tube. This e vacuum the makes the most sensitive detector available. In actual tubes the point "G" on the characteristic curves as shown In Fig. VIII and Fig. IX may not fall on such a point of the curve that symmetrical changes in grid potential will cause a x by specialists in Agriculture Short stories about people of prominence in our country stranger within its gates to investigate the possibilities afforded here before going elsewhere.

The relative position of the grid with respect to the filament and the plate and the size of the mesh of the grid, determine the value of E. E la the negative potential which must be applied to the grid In order to reduce the plate current to lero. The value of F, which Is the positive grid potential that will cause the maximum or saturation current to flow in the plate circuit, Is also determined by the relative position of the grid with respect to the filament and plate. If the grid is of very fine mesh, the value of E is small because the electrons In passing through the small mesh of the grid on their journey from the filament to the plate will negatively charge the grid and will be repelled. Similarly a small positive charge applied to a fine mesh will tend to the velocity of the electrons. In case of a very coarse mesh grid. the electrons can pass through the ap ertures In the grid without coming In so close to the charge on it and a three-electro- O-- DAMAGE DONE TO GRAIN BY MOTHS nsects Can Be Destroyed by Use of Heat or by Fumigation With Poisonous Gases. grow a variety of corn that develops a long, tight shuck. Newly harvested small grain should not be stored unthrashed for any length of time, as In this condition It Is very susceptible to Infestation. If promptly thrashed nnd stored In deep bins, only a thin layer on top of the bin is likely to become Infested. Corn may be stored in the shuck If the husk; is long nnd tight and fully covers the tip, but all ears with loose, broken,' short or damaged husks should be shucked and stored separately. Avoid Dirty Bins. Clean grain should never be stored In old bins, granaries or storehouses until they have been thoroughly cleaned and freed from the accumulations of waste grain and other materials harboring grain Insects. Bags of all kinds that have previous-- 1 ly held grain should not be allowed In granaries or warehouses or be refilled until they have been sterilized or otherwise freed from Insects. The use ot tight cribs will keep the grain free from Infestation by Insects that might fly in from the outside.

So it Is seen that a negative potential when applied to the grid does not reduce the plate circuit current as much as tin same positive potential increased the plate circuit current. This irregular conductivity of the tube Is made usa of when the lube Is used as a detector or rectifier of rallo signals. The incoming radio signal is a high frequency alternating current.
