A series OF corr experiments tried

Montana experiment station from 1918
to 1920 has resulted In some interest
ing facts for the dry land corn grower
of south central Montana. The princi-
pal corn growing region of Montana Is
In the lower valleys and plains area
of the central and southeastern por-
tiens of the state. II Is a region of
comparatively low rainfall and short
growing seasons, hence only the most
hardy and early maturing varieties can
be grown.

TO use alternating current as source OF
flament current There viii always
be present I'm the telephone receivers
a e0Icycle hum. but by the use of GER
tain circuits and auxiliary apparatus,
this 60-cyele hum can be reduced to
a minimum.
The use Of alternating current as @
source OF power supply for the fla
ments Of the vacuum tube has its
greatest advantages In cheapness, low
maintenance, and the small amount Of
space needed for It's apparatus. A
small stepdown transformer of such
rntio as to reduce the house lighting
current TO six volts, and Of sufficient
capacity to light the flament of one
tube, can be mounted inside a receiv-
ing cabinet as an integral part of the
set.
The greatest disadvantage OF using
alternating current on the flament of
a nj tube Is the ever present 60
cycle hum. and since the supply cir

slant, the hlament current viii vary

sary to frequently adjust the fila

The simplest method of using al
~frrnating current for flament current
supply IL to connect the usual "A"
battery leads from the receiver to a
TOY stepdown transformer which will
deliver six volts, as shown In Figure

which is to be used for the rearing

A Paris drift for 81 1882 francs
was presented to Marshal Foch by

This money was TO be used to adopt

children bonds worth 1900 francs
each. The children cannot touch the
bonds until they are OF age. but the
income from these will be paid the

BEST SOURCES OF
FlLAMENT CURRENT


When the flament current of q
vacuum tube is adjusted at normal
rated value a small change In fla
ment current will cause a large
change in the plate current. Suppose
q certain tube is used In a negeners-
tive receiver circuit. Not only does
a variation in hlament current
change the plate current and q
sound In the telephone receivers. but
the plate impedance Is changed, and
the energy fed back to the grid cir
cult Is changed, which. causes the vari-
atoms In plate current TO be ampli-
fed.
In order, then, to maintain the plate
Importance constant and also TO re-
duce tube noises to a minimum. es-
pecially If the receiver Is used for
rsdiophone reception, the ideal source
Of nlament current should be at q
constant potential. A storage battery
represents the best source Of constant
potential for flament current supply.
For those who have alternating cur.
rent available and want the beat re-
suits. a storage battery In contunc-
tion with a recti6er forms the ideal
power supply for the flsments of the
tube This Is especially true IN am
piiiers are used In conjunction with
the receiver. for any variations in nia-
ment current causing noises in an am
pIifier set will be amplfned by the
successive tubes until the original
noises become a veritable roar.

ton without ampiifers II is possible
