RADIO PROBLEMS
STUDIED BY EXPERTS
Semi-Annual Meeting Devoted to
Discussion of Bettering Of
Receiving Equipment.

NEW YORK, November 25.-Radio
problems affecting the public as well
as radio manufacturers and distribu-
tors formed the basis of the discus
sions at the semi-annual meeting of
the radio section of the Associated
Manufacturers Of Electrical Sup
plies held recently at the Hotel
Roosevelt The leading scientific,
manufacturing and electrical inter
ests Of the country were represented
Important questions involving stand
ardization of radio apparatus and
the problem of interference be
tween broadcast stations were among
the subjects considered.
Important recommendations were
made at the meeting for standardi-
cation, both in nomenclature and ap-
paratuS. The general use of fire.
quency rather than wave length to
describe the assignments of broad
! casting stations was urged by the
transmitting and receiving set COM
mittee. Where tuning dial markings
involved frequency or wave length
values, the committee held, frequency
markings only should be used. Other
recommendations by this committee
were:
That the controls on receiving sets
shall be so arranged that clockwise
rotation of rheoStat controls shall
give increase of voltage on tubes or
increase of volume on volume con-
troll
That scale markings for filament
control be divided o to 70. with the
word off shown separately.
That the standard for tuning con-
tro4S shall be that dial markings
shall increase with cIockwise rotation
and that I'm the case of vernier con-
trolls the actuating knob shall turn
in the same direction as the index"
Steps to be taken toward the elm
ination of fraudulent or misleading
advertising of radio apparatus and
supplies Were discussed and reports
were read from the national vigil
lance committee of the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of the World out
lining the character of compaign
necessary to accomplish these ends
DIR. Alfred y. Goldsmith, reporting
for the ship and shore committee
declared that efforts TO reduce the
interference with broadcast reception
arising from code stations afioat and
ashore had been measurably success
ful During 1924 he pointed out
there had been an Increased use of
continuous wave tranSmitterS and
vacuum receiving apparatus on ships
The replacement of the older spark
equipment not only lessened inter
ference but increased the capability
of the ships for handling ship-to-
shore wireless traffic.

Sailing Down Soft Corn
Has Beneficial Effect

While sailing soft corn is not con,
sidered "cure-all" the use Of from
y to 1 pound for 100 pounds Of grain
Is recommended for preventing moids
and to forestalt heating. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station Indicate that
the use of salt has a beneficial effect
on soft corn.
After placing a layer OF corn III
or feet thick In the crib, the salt
should be scattered over II In the pro
portion indicated. When another
feet Of corn is added, the process
should be repeated,
The possibility of using salt on soft
corn was suggested In 1917 by Sam
Sampson OF McCallsburg. Iowa. His
son had used salt in a crib Of soft
corn and he was convinced that the
corn would have spoiled had II moi
been for the salt. The corn was fec
to hogs with very satisfactory results
Mr.. Sampson told the writer that ths
sailed corn did not freeze as hard ir
the coolest weather, as the unsaltet
corn. This. was a great advantage as
the corn could be fed with ease al
any time.-H. D. Hughes, Iowa Ex

Feed for Dairy Cows at
CalYing Time important

Feeding the dairy COW at calvine
time is very important. The COW
should be dried of six TO eight week.
before calving time. Only sufficient
grain should be fed when the COW Is
dry to put her in good condition foi
calving. Alfalfa hay and silake should
be fed the dry COW. and four or Ave
pounds Of a mixture Of oats dnd wheat
bran.
After caIvlng. the cows first feet
should be three or four pounds Of oatI
and wheat bran which has been al
lowed to stand covered for half ar
hour In hot water. This will be stimu
lating. 1t should take two or three
weeks to get the fresh cow on full feec
and up to her full flow of milk.
Test every COW, for one cannot tel
for sure whether or not COW Is worth
her board unless he knows how much
milk she gives, how much butterfai
there is in her milk and how much feee
she eats.

Operation of Threshing
Machine Is Important

Several things may be wrong with
standard threshing machine when
1t falls to separate all of the grain
from the straw. As rule the thresh-
ermpn is not so much interested In
getting every bushel Of grain from
the straw as is the farmer whose
grain he is threshing. 1t is a good
thing for the crop owner. however, to
be versed on the operation Of the ma.
chine enough to know when the ma.
chine is doing good work.
There are four main causes when
the grain comes through into the
straw: ~ The machine Is not be-
ing run at its proper speed, ca the
cylinder fails to thrash all Of the ker-
nels out Of the heads, (3) the separ-
atlng mechanism is not level, or (4)
the blast is not adjusted properly.
