Of the United States Infantry Asso-
citation held their first social of the
season, with q dinner last night at
tho Columbia Country Club.
This is the first of the social func-
tions for the Winter which have been
planned by the infantrymen in Wash
ington. Members Of the infantry foot
ball team were the guests of the in
fAntry association.
The special steering committee
which was appointed by the chief
of infantry, in collaboration with the
athletic council at Fort Benning, for
the game played yesterday, was
headed by Lieut.. Col. A. w. Foreman.
The dinner last night was an in

REFLEX CIRCUIT
CRIT IC|S|NS
DEPLORED
Engineer Says Proper Double
Use of Tube Does Not
Shorten Life
G. e. M. BERTRAM,
Chief Engineer, Acme Apparatus
Company.

Chlef Engineer Acme AppafntuS
Company.
The growing popularity and
rapidly extending use Of the reflex
type of radio circuit has given rise
to certain unfounded criticisms by
would.be experts.
One Of the erroneous statements
is that using tube twice, once
for radio frequency application
and again for audo frequency, kills
the tube.
It may be authoritativeYy and un-
qualifiedly stated that the life Of
q vacuum tube Is not shortened nor
in any way impaired when used
in a properly designed reflex circuit.
AS James s. Caulfield, associate
Of the American Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers, has recently
pointed out, it is incorrect tc as
sumo that reflexing tube exhausts
the thorium coating on the fila
ment.
The only way to destroy the
thorium coating on the filament is
by excessive B battery voltage and
excessive filament current. Reflex
ing the tubes does not do it. High
plate voltage and undue filment
voltage would. Of course, drive the
thorium out Of the filaments and
impair any tube, but reflexing the
tube has nothing to do with the
life of it. The way in which they
are operated and not the type of
circuit they are used in, is the
chief factor in the length Of their
useful service.
May Be Restored.
Any tube to amplify properly must
have copious electron emission. Due
to the peculiar properties Of the
tube, the thorium coating on the
filament can often be restored by
burning the tube at rated filament
voltage for one and one-half times
the period that the tube was burned
In making it do double duty. The
plate voltage is not applied to the
tube when restoring the thorium.
Loss Of electron emission is caused
only by evaporation of the thorium
on the filament. In a vacuum tube,
a layer Of thorium atoms is formed
on the surface of the filament. This
layer is Of high electron emissivity.
AS fast as atoms Of thorium evap-
crate from the, surface there is a
movement Of atoms inside the body
of the material which places an
other atom in the surface layer in
the same position occupied by evap-
GRATED atom, thus restoring the
equilibrium of the thorium inside
the filament.
In other words the ability Of tubes
to amplify is only impaired by the
exhaustion of the thorium caused by
two things, excessive filament cur
rent and excessive battery voltage.
The life of the tube is terminated
by the evaporation and not by the
exhaustion of the thorium.
The reflex principle is so econoYni-
cal and efficient that it can't be
kept down" In fact, it is be.
coming so popular that this will
undoubtedly be a reflex year, in
radio. Certain makers of neutro.
dyne and superhetrodyne sets are
recognizing this and are already re.
licking their sets. The advantages
OF reflex are obvious. In sets
using the same tube for both radio
and audio frequency amplification,
the radio frequency modification
makes the receiver more sensitive.

eral legislation the government IS
sues permits giving the private
hatcheries permission to shoot them
and protect their trout. For the
kinghsher and crows traps are set
and those that escape the shotgun
usually are caught that way. Mink
are comparatively few, but when one
does go on the rampage he is brought
to time with a trap. On some farms
from so to go heron are somtimes
shot in a year and 100 to $50 king
fishers is not big crop.
The Hudson trout farm, owned and
conducted by F. O. Crary who has
been breeding trout for 80 years, is
located two miles northeast Of here
on spring creek of the Willow river
The farm consists of some 800 acres
Of well timbered, hilly land, most of
the trees being oak, with some pine.
The creek has been divided into
some 80 large ponds and in addition
to the water that naturally flows
through the stream more water for ii
is furnished by diverting some of the
Willow river water into the creek
and also draining many springs and
many wells into it. This gives the
creek or ponds a good fast fiowage
and makes an ideal place for trout to
thrive in. Each pond is screened so
I that the fish of various sizes are kept
separate.
Trout of all species are great can
nibals and they devour each other
with great relish Left with their
bigger brothers and sisters or their
parents the smaller trout would soon
disappear. And even with careful
grading they eat each other. A weak
ling that does not keep up with his
growth is usually singled out by some
stronger and hungry fellow. 1t is
not an uncommon sight to see trout
trying to swallow one so large that he
can't get him down his throat.
Product In Great Demand
When Mr.. Crazy began propagat-
ing trout it was mostly with the idea
of keeping his stream supplied, but
from a small beginning the business
has gradually developed, SO that now,
he says, he ships as high as $4,000
trout for table use in year, and
100000 to 100000 trout eggs.
The trout are sold at from IS cents
to 81 a pound, depending on the
quantity, while the eggs vary as to
species and the market. Brook trout
eggs are worth from $1.2F to $1.50
thousand, rainbow from $3.50 to So
thousand and brown about So. They

are shipped and packed in ice and
moss and can be expressed long dis
tances. Brook and brown trout
hatch early in the year, rainbow in
the spring.
The first eggs from the brook and
brown trout are usually taken the
latter part of October and the spawn
ing continues to December. The
rainbow trout spawns about Mar.
to Apr. 10.
The growth of fish is largely a
matter of appetite or feeding capac-
ity and temperature of water; those
in warmer water grow the faster.
For restaurant or hotel trade the
quarter pound trout is in the greatest
demand, so that two trout or half a
pound can be served as a meal,
though the portion is usually con-
siderably less after the fish are
dressed But for commercial pur-
poses four fish to the pound are the
popular size. 1t is only in the more
exclusive hotels or in private homes
that the two or three FOUNDER COM
mands favor According to Mr.. Crazy
prohibition has interfered with the
trout for table use, because since the
setting in of the alleged dry spell a
number Of large exclusive restaurants
in the country have gone out of bust
ness and the demand for trout has
not increased. But fish eggs year
after year have had a larger demand,
owing to many state or federal hatch
cries not being able to raise all the
eggs needed and to the demand of
many small private hatcheries. Mr..
Crary this year will hatch about
100000 brook trout eggs and about
100000 brown and rainbow eggs.
The first of the brook and brown
trout were Matched early in January.
The rainbow eggs are now on the
trays.
At the Trautmere farm at Osceola
Mr.. Hansen formerly quartered a
Minneapolis club which fished the
lower end of his creek which Mr..
Hansen kept well stocked for the
anglers, but the lease has terminated.
At the Star prairie farm Mr.. Lau
is said to go in principally for rain
bow trout of which he has many
thousands of breeders. The Simms
Bros. hatchery at st. Croix Falls was
formerly a grain elevator and has
been converted into hatchery.
Large concrete tanks have been built
at the foot of high hills that send
forth much spring water for the
trout tanks.-Milwaukee Journal.

WINNING THE BARBERRY WAR

Observers who have travelled ex-
tensively over the spring wheat
country of the Northwest states re-
port little evidence of the black
stem rust of grain which science has
traced to common barberry as source
and cause.
1t is easy to draw large conclus-
ions from small premises, but it
seems fair to say that the compare
tive freedom of the wheat fields from
black stem rust is a fruit of the
militant fight carried on in the North
Central states to uproot and destroy
barberry bushes. Federal and state
governments have aided in the ex-
termination of this rust-breeding
pest, but the main credit goes to the
farmers, who, convinced that the
scientists were right, set themselves
to the business of clearing their
places of barberry.
Tremendous ravages have been
made on the wheat fields of the
Northwest from year to year by rust.
The loss in the last few years has
been estimated at scores of millions
of dollars. Rust reduces both yield
and quality, thereby cutting two
ways into the farmers pocketbook
1t looks today as if the fight on
barberry was worth many times what
it cost in time, musclar energy and
money. Anything that contributes to
the increasing of acre yields in farm
crops is abundantly worth while; and
more particularly so when quality of
product is improved.
The war on barberry is not yet
over, although many successful
skirmishes and major battles against
it have been won. Conditions in the
fields this year should act as spur
for a continuance of the eradication
campaign.-Minneapolis Tribune.

PRIVATE FISH FARMS
OPERATE IN WISCONSIN

Hudson-Many thousands of fat,
luscious brook trout for table use,
and many millions of trout eggs for
propagation purposes, are now raised
annually on private trout farms in
Wisconsin. The fish are shipped to
fashionable hotels and restaurants
and the eggs are sold to federal, state
and private hatcheries throughout
this country and Canada, Matched into
tiny brook trout which are then re-
leased in favorite trout streams so
that the waters may remain well
stocked for the angler.
There are six or eight Of these pri-
vate farms or hatcheries in the state,
most of them and the largest ones
are located in the northwestern part
of the state. While these CONNER
cial hatcheries have been operating
for some years, it is only in recent
years that the demand for trout eggs
has grown so that now the work has
developed into a higly specialized
business.
Brook, rainbow and brown trout are
raised and their popularity ranges
in the order named. One of the first
hatcheries was opened at Osceola,
north of here, by G. Hansen years
ago, but that of F. 0. Crary in Hud-
son is almost as old. More recent
hatcheries are those of H. G. Lau at
Star Prairie and Simms Bros. of St.
Paul at st. Croix Falls. There are a
number of smaller hatcheries in the
state, but these perhaps are the most
important of the commercial dealers.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that breeding trout or market is an
rather precarious venture and re-
quires thorough scientific know
ledge of fish culture coupled with an
endless amount of patience. Unless
one has both these qualifications he
had better let the business alone,
because it is long road from a tiny
fish egg to big two or three-pound
trout-two or three years or more
and during that time the pet must
be fed several times daily, he must be
guarded against his natural enemies
and disease and his welfare must be
constantly looked after.

crows and mink are all fond of brook
