.BLAMES SPEED MANIA
FOR CHILDREN'S NERVE
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE YOUNG
STERS' MINDS TO GRASP I'M
PRESSIONS WHEN RIDING.

For the past few years my atten-
ton has been gradually drawn to the
effects of present-day motoring on
small children Not a few mothers
have asked me if | thought motoring
agreed with the children brought to
me usually for nervous disorders"
says DR.. Kerley, in McCall's.
MANY of these mothers had OBJ
served that after automobile trips the
child in question was irritable, eXcit-
able and slept poorly; what was my
opinion as to the advisability of taxi
ing children on long automobile
rides?'
"At twenty miles an hour, very
low speed in the country, it is impos-
sible for a child to visualize, to con-
centrate on anything long enough for
a definite picture or chain of thought
The young child's mind registers
slowly and has no opportunity for a
mental grasp or for impressions to
be made, with the result that he pass
es between blank walls without hav-
ing seen or grasped any OF the aspects
of nature, no matter how beautiful.
THE child learns by observation
and by asking questions. In a walk
through the county, in the woods and
fields or with a slow, old-fashioned
horse and wagon on a country road
the child chatters increasingly. If you
will listen carefully you will observe
that his series of questions is always
about objects seen and his comments
thereon
Further, from health standpoint,
he usually gets bad air, exhaust gas
and dust Unless one goes to remote
districts for his motorings the roads
about all large centers on Sundays and
holidays are filled with autoists in
slow-moving progression and with ex-
haust active. AT the ferries automo-
biles in vast numbers are held up, Of
ten for an hour or two, all discharg-
ing carbon-monoxide or incompletely
burned gas because the engine is run
ming at its lowest capacity. All this in
a heavy atmosphere with but little air
circulating is anything but desirable

Cotton Growing in Spain
To Be Attempted Again
Government Gets Seventy Tons of
U. S. Seeds to Renew Industry.

Government Gets Seventy obs Vi
U. S. Seeds to Renew Industry.
Louis Liro Ortiz, director Of agrl-
cultural demonstrations for the Span
ish government, recently sailed from
New York with seventy tons OF cotton
seed, gathered by him in the southern
states. saws the New York Times. The
Spanish government hopes that with
in four wears the cotton industry IN
that country will again come back to
what it was before it went to pieces
in 1850, when agriculturists found sug-
ar cane more profitable.
Spain, at the western end OF the
editerranean. was the first European
country outside OF Turkey to plant
cotton. 1t took many centuries tor
knowledge of the cotton plant to make
its way from India to the southern
borders of Europe, and it appears to
have taken as many more to introduce
the culture of the plant and manutac-
ture of cotton cloth into Spain. The
Historical Critica de Espana says that
the cotton industry was started there
in the ninth century, and de Marios
reports that cotton manufacture was
introduced into Spain during the reign
of Abderahman Ill in the tenth CEN
fury by the Moors.

THE CHICKEN CAR is COMING
Will Be at Dawson and Parrott
Wednesday. Fowls Should Not
Be Tied or Placed in Sacks.
Is Advice of Gibson.

Another cooperative poultry sale
will be held tomorrow "wednesday,
May 27th), when the car operated by
the Seaboard railroad will be at Par
rott and Dawson.
The car will be at PARROT from 7
to 10 o'clock in the morning and at
Dawson from 1880 to 3 in the after
noon. Attention is especially called to
the fact that poultry should be brought
in between the hours named, and the
cooperation of all is requested.
Mr. A. Z. Gibson, the county agri-
cultural agent, advises that farmers
discontinue the practice of bringing
poultry to these sales in sacks and
with the legs tied There is danger of
the fowls being smothered if they are
put in sacks, and if the legs are tied
it will consume some valuable time in
untieing them-and time means a
great deal at the sale when the hours
for loading are short.

THE USE OF NITRATE
OF SODA FOR CORN
WHEN AND HOW MUCH TO
APPLY. RESULTS OF SOME
RECENT EXPERIMENTS.
BY A. E. Gibson, County Agent.

by A E. Gibson, County Agent.
Many farmers have asked us when,
how and what quantity of nitrate OF
soda should be applied to corn, and
while there is somewhat divided
opinion about the best time practically
all of the experiment stations agree
that applications should be made when
the corn is between knee and waist
high, at the rate of from 100 to 2OO
pounds per acre.
Very few advocate putting soda I'M
der corn for it has tendency to grow
too large a stalk, and causes it to sui
fer more from a dry season, thereby
greatly reducing the size and weight
of the ear.
The nitrate should be dropped near
the base OF the plant, anywhere from
two to six inches, and lightly covered
or cultivated in the soil. The nitrate
may be scattered on the surface near
the plants and cultivated in lightly,
taking precaution not to put it on the
damp blade of the corn.
The Alabama Experiment Station,
at Auburn, has had some very inter
esting experiments in the use OF nj
trate for corn. Where 100 pounds was
applied at planting time the yield was
increased 40 bushels; rs pounds at
planting time and Is pounds the yield
increased to 81 bushels; 100 pounds
when plants were II inches high, Al
bushels; 100 pounds when plants were
215 feet high, SO bushels; 100 pounds
when plants were 81 feet high, SO
bushels 100 pounds when plants were
punching to tassel, So bushels.
A study of these tests will reveal
that the greatest returns from nitrate
of soda applied to corn are received
if it is applied when the corn is 2E
feet high

in 1925 amounted to one-twelfth one
hundredth cents. In 1921 it amounted
to one thirty-fourth one hundredth
cents.
The difference in the freight rate

compared with 1921 is so slight that
it cannot and does not affect the cost
to the consumer But the loss to the

A LARGE DECREASE IN
PAYROLL OF GOVERNMENT
Total at War Peak Was 100000 But
Now Is 90 Per Cent of That.

With a payroll of $4,000 civilians,
which resists further extensive reduc-
ton, the United States government
has dropped from the war peak of l.
100000 to 90 per cent of its wartime
size.
Pre-war figures gave a little more
than 100000 as the size of the civilian
payroll. The greatest reduction since
the war occurred during the first three
and one-half years Since that time
the change has been less than one per
cent.

tubes. These tubes easily stand at
the top rung of the radio tube ladder.
They are the most efficient tubes
developed for general all-around use
as detectors, radio frequency ampli-
fiers, audio frequency amplifiers and
oscillators. This tube uses the same
type of filament used in the UV-l99
and C299, but the tube Is larger and
operates at higher currents which
give greater results than those attain
able with the use of the smaller tubes.
The amplification constant Of this tube
has been increased to 8. The mutual
conductance of the tube at a plate
voltage of 40 and zero grid potential
is ATS micromhos, and at 10 plate
voltage and volts negative potential
1t jumps to the figure Of ITO mi
cromhos, a figure that readily indi-
Gates it's capabilities as an amplifier.
The required filament voltage of S
volts is obtained through the use of a
6-volt storage battery. To bring the
voltage to the required filament volt
age, a rheostat having a resistance of
4 volts is sufficient, but 1t will often
be found useful to use a rheostat of
about 10 ohms, particularly when the
tube is used as detector.
The current consumption of the tube
Is equal to 0.25 ampere. giving an
energy consumption of 1.25 watts.
At plate voltages of from 40 to 100
volts, the plate current consumption
varies from l milliampere at the lower
voltage to milliamperes al the higher
voltage, with a plate energy consump-
tion of from 0.04 to 6 watt.
When used as a detector, a grid
condenser of .00025 mid. capacity and
a grid leak of Q to megohms should
be used. The overall dimensions of
the tube are q inches in diameter
and 4 5-16 inches in length. This tube
uses the standard Navy type base and
will fit a standard socket

What You Should Know About
Vacuum Tubes-Part V

The next in line in the way of tubes
which have very low current con-
sumption characteristics are the wv
1919 and C-299 tubes. These are the
most economical members of the radio
tube family, although their perform
ance on the very low values of cur
rent which they use Is really re-
markable.
These tubes can be used as detec-
tors. radio frequency amplifiers, audio
frequency amplifiers and oscillators.
They are very suitable for radio fire.
quency amplifiers because of their
very low inter-electrode capacity, and
they make as good detectors as any
of the other tubes. They are not as
efficient as the larger storage battery
tubes of the UV-201-A and C-301-A
tubes as audio frequency amplifiers,
but where just good volume is re-
quired. as, for instance, for use In
the average home, they are very suit
able for use throughout in a receiver.
Their low current consumption and
the fact that they may be operated
for long time on small fiashlight bat
teries make them particularly adapt
able for portable sets.
The amplification constant Of this
type of tube is 6.5. The mutual con-
ductance is $40 micromhos at 40 volts
creases to 410 micromhos at 80 volts
plate and AS volts negative grid po-
tential. The required filament termi-
nal voltage Is 8 volts, and can be OBJ
tained by connecting three " volt dry
cells in series, using a 30-ohm rheo-
stat to bring the value down to the
required volts.
Filament Current Consumption.
The f1lament current consumption
is only 0.06 ampere, making the en-
ergy consumption only 0.1S watt. The
best plate voltage to use as a detector
is 40 volts, although 45 volts can be
used at slight increase of plate cur
rent. The tube is not critical in it's
filament and plate current require
ments.
It can be used with a plate voltage
of from 20 to 80 volts although best
results when used as an amplifer will
be obtained when the higher voltages
are used with a suitable c battery
negative bias of from l to AS. For
voltages higher than 80 the negative
bias should be increased to about 6
volts. The plate current consumption
without use of c batteries varies from
l milliampere at 20 volts plate to 4
milliamperes at so volts. The use of
a c battery reduces the plate current
drain at voltages higher than 40. The
plate energy consumption varies from
0.02 to 0.32 watt.
When used as a detector a grid con-
denser of .00025 MID. capacity and a
grid leak of from to megohms re-
sistance should be used.
The tube is very small in size, It's
overall dimensions being ! inch in
diameter and 31a inches in length.
For use in sets where space Is at a
premium and a low battery current
consumption for operation on small
dry cells is required, the UV-199 and
C-299 tubes are without doubt the most
efficient, satisfactory and economical
tubes to use. A special tube base is
used which requires the use of spe-
cial socket.
