to secure this display and it proved
very interesting.
The fruit exhibit was of an unusu.
ally fine quality and was beautiful in
color. Everything from Strawberries
to late peaches was shown and every.
thing was the best of its kind. Much
of this fruit will be sent to the State
fair. Plates of juicy apples and beau.
tiful peaches, as well as boxes and
baskets full of fruit attracted much
favorable comment from the fair
visitors.
Delta county schools were represent.
ed by all kinds of school work. from
the first constructions of the first
graders to the work of the high school
students. Particularly noteworthy
was the illustration of a profitable ro
tation Of crops which had been work
ed out by the agriculture class of Del
ia high school. A successful rotation
for seven years was shown, with samp-
les of the products to be raised ar
ranged on a plain background. This
shows that boys are learning some,
thing worth while in the school, and
learning "the reason why"
Poultry exhibits this year were very
fine and some beautiful birds were
shown. There were old and young
turkeys and chickens of different
kinds, geese and ducks. All were good
looking and showed quality and good
breeding.
There was not a great deal of live.
stock, due to the fact it was said by
farmers, that the prizes offered are
not large enough to make it worth
while to take their stock to the fair
and look after their feeding and care
there. There are some fine cattle in
Delta county and it is too bad that no
more of them were on exhibition due
to this fact. The Boys Pig club mem
bers of Rogers Mesa showed what
they are doing by entering their pigs
for judging. Some fine ones were
shown.
Delta county produces everything
which might be desired and one could
search long time before finding any
place better than this to live in. Delta
county products are among the best of
the nation, and the best of the prod,
ucts was displayed at the fair. To see
the things we have here makes ones
heart lift up in pride for this great
county The fact that in spite of the
inauspicious beginning the fair was
carried to a successful close is anoth.

Capacity Circuits
Are Hard to Use
More Adjustments Than
With Inductively and Di-
rect Coupled Outfit

In receiving radio signals there are
certain essentials without which audi
bic reception is impossible. First
comes the antenna system. comprising
metallic structure whose function II
is to absorb the energy in the trans
mitted wave and then to concentrate
1t into the receiving apparatus. Sec
ond, ground connection with the re-
ceiytng apparatus interposed between
the antenna proper and the ground.
Third, the receiving apparatus whose
primary purpose Is to further intensity
the energy absorbed from the trans
mitted wave and, lastly, detector
comprising transformer element to
change the high frequency radio cur
rent as received to lower frequency
capable of energizing telephone re-
ceiver to produce an audible signal.
Before entering too fully into the dis
cussion of receiving circuits 1t will per-
haps be well to consider briefly the
manner in which circuits are coupled
or connected together.
Coupling is term used to indicate
the manner in which circuits are con-

The principle of the reflex circuit de-
ponds on the ability of a three-elec-
trode vacuum tube to permit currents
of different frequencies to pass
through it at the same time. The fire.
quencies of the currents induced in a
radio antenna system are very rapid,
varying in value from about 500 to l.
600 kilo-cycles per second, depending
on wave lengths. This current in the
antenna system Is generally termed the
radio frequency current. In reflex
system these radio frequency currents
are usually amplified to increase their
intensity before impressing them on
the rectifier or detector, which con-
verts these high frequency currents
into currents of audible frequency.
After rectification these currents are
then amplified as were the radio cur
rents by three-eiectrode vacuum
tube. Here lies the particular advan.
tage of the reflex system over other
systems.
s In other systems, after rectification
the rectified radio or audio currents
are amplified by additional tubes for
this purpose. In reflex system be-
fore these input radio frequency cur
rents are rectified they are reim-
pressed back on the tubes which am
plified them at radio frequency, and
when rectified are reamplified at audio
frequency before being passed on to
the receivers or loud speaker to be
converted to sound waves.
There are a number of methods of
utilizing the reflex principle. among
which are the type of reflex wherein
the reflex action proceeds from the in
put to the output tube in direct pro-
gression and where the reflex action Is
performed in more than one tube
Then there is the so-called inverse du-
pick system wherein the reflex action
is not progressive, but is inverted back
toward the input tubes. In the Erla
circuits the reflex action is progressive
from the input, but is only utilized in
one tube. Due to the complexity of
controlling radio frequency it Is not
possible to successfully stabilize sys-
tenn wherein the reflex action is includ-
ed in more than one stage. 1t is not
matter of balancing the loads in the
various tubes, as it can be readily
shown that the loads caused by any
audio signals on the tubes in these
circuits are never such that the few

Who Build Own Sets

In any circuit where one side of the
condenser is connected to the ground
it is best to ground the rotating plates,
thus doing away with some of the
hand-capacity effects
For real DIX work a 3OO-foot an
tenna with series variable condenser
works very well. Although this is not
as selectiye as a shorter one, surpris-
ing results will be experienced for
long distance reception as well as
local audibility.

Immediately surrounding the wire as
possible. This adds to the distributing
capacity of the coil and results In
loss of power and audibility.
1t is worth while to use dead end"
switches for disconnecting the major
part of the coil when not in use. WHY
waste power by having the unused
portion in the circuit?
For clearer reception use G bat.

will double the life of the B battery.
as the plate will only draw about half
when G battery is connected in the

nected together. Three distinct kinds
of coupling are recognized and classed
as direct, inductive and capacity.
Capacitively coupled circuits are
those In which condensers are used to
connect the primary and secondary cir
cults.
This type of coupling is called cleo
trostatfc because condensers function
only by reason of their electrostatic
field. A simple circuit of this type Is
shown in the accompanying diagram.
The primary circuit is essentially a
parallel resonant circuit as distin-
guished from the series resonant cir
cults that are common in the direct
and inductively coupled circuits.
In general, capacirively coupled cir
cults tune more sharply and are some
what more efficient than the other
types just considered. Adjustments,
however, are more critical and there
are generally more adjustments to be
made than is the case with the induc-
lively coupled and the direct coupled
circuits.
