This series, as In the past, Is continuous and If clipped out and saved will be convenient for reference. e When the vacuum tube was used as a detector, the circuits associated with it were such that where a symmetrical alternating difference was applied to the grid, a symmetrical change In plate current resulted. That is to say, the vacuum tube acted as a rectifier. In addition to rectifying, the tube also amplified. The variation In plate circuit was "K," where "1C" Is the amplification con Btant of the tube, times what it would have been In a tube, for the same potential impressed on the grid.

HEAVY INFESTATION PAST IN fly-fre- Great Deal of Crop Needlessly Lost Last Spring by Those Unwilling to Walt Until Danger Line Had Been Passed. (Pnitnd by th United statu Department of Agriculture.) d Wheat growers are urged by the United States Department of Agriculture to observe their local e date for sowing. In every state where there has been heavy Infestation by the Hessian fly in the past the state experiment station and the county agents have taken steps to work out a safe date, after which sowing might be started. It was found last spring that a great deal of wheat was needlessly lost by those who were unwilling to wait until fly emergence was over, or who were not converted to the idea of late sowing. To combat the Hessian fly pest where It was prevalent last year the county agents used every possible e channel for advertising the date and for urging that It be strictly observed. In no state was the date earlier than September 24, and In many counties plnntlng was not considered safe till after October 1. The department suggests that similar methods for Informing farmers of the safe time to plant may be followed this month. Active Fly Campaign. Ohio had an active Hessian fly campaign last fall In 33 counties. Studies were made with emergence cages at the state experimental farm and reports from these were compared with results In local migration boxes. County committees of farmers determined the safe dates for each particular section. Circulars and letters on the subject were distributed as widely as possible. Many county fair exhibits were fly-fre- HANDY TROUGH TO FEED HOGS! Board Nailed on One Side Prevents. Animal From Getting More Than His Share.

HESSIAN FLY IS Local Rene Vlvlanl, former premier of France, Is a socialist. During the last hours of peace before the World war, he ordered the withdrawal of the French army by ten miles from the frontier. For that he has been criticized severely and his action has been more or less of a cloud on his recent political life. This withdrawal order brought about a sensational scene In the French chamber the other day. A debate was on, provoked by the persistent Communist campaign of calumny against Premier Polncare for alleged responsibility for bringing on the war. Vivlunl suddenly appeared on the left side of the chamber, where he has rarely been seen for several months. "If any Frenchman was responsible for what happened in 1914, It was I," he cried. "At the moment of the outbreak of the war I was the should be demanded from of head the Explanations government. responsible me, not from M. Polncare. I gave the order to mobilize. I ordered the withdrawal, so as to avoid uny chance of conflict as long as possible." An outburst of patriotic enthusiasm followed. Polncare rushed up to. s Viviani and kissed him on both cheeks. Deputies embraced them both. address had convinced the chamber that It was not France that willed the war.
