Regenerative Receiver Tuning Tips for Untuned Aerials
A New York Sun report describes one stage transformer coupled RF amplification with regeneration. It advises using a large spacing between tickler and primary, trimming turns on the tickler to avoid squeal, and tuning with WEAF or WOO for correct regeneration. It covers grid coil counts about eighty turns, a 20 turn aperiodic aerial coil, Litz wire cautions, grounding, car counterpoise use, and operation with dry cell or storage batteries.

Feeding Value of Wheat for Livestock Examined
The article discusses wheat as livestock feed amid low farm prices and higher bran costs. Ground or crushed wheat serves as a good feed and can be mixed with bulky seeds to reduce mouth stickiness. Wheat provides similar digestible carbs to corn but less fat and slightly higher protein, while whole wheat has more total digestible nutrients than bran but less protein.
May Increase Volume or Distance Reception
Radio fans grow dissatisfied with set volume after use. Amplification isn’t needed. a longer antenna on the tubes boosts both volume and distance reception. Often, tuning can be refined to achieve the desired rise in volume and range.
Beware Unknown Wires Voltage Danger Warnings
Cautionary notice warns to avoid touching or approaching unfamiliar wires as they may carry dangerous voltage even if they seem harmless.
Amplifier Condenser Effects On Volume And Clarity
The text explains that using an audio-frequency side with higher current capacity improves volume when connecting no condenser across the transformer. It recommends placing more plate voltage in the tube circuit containing the condenser and suggests adding an extra 2214-volt block to reach desired volume. It notes that larger condensers reduce volume and enhance clarity.

Amplifier Tip Sparks Clarity Through Condenser Across Transformer
The article explains that placing a condenser across the secondary of an audio-frequency transformer can greatly increase signal clarity and volume by clearing signals, though it notes a trade off in some aspect of performance.
Protecting Tubes on Hook Up After A Set Completion
Guidance on battery hookup for tube circuits. Do not connect the B battery immediately. instead join A and B terminals, insert tubes, and power rheostats. If tubes light, wiring error must be fixed. If tubes stay dark, B battery can be connected safely without blowing tubes.
Soybean Hay Proves Good Substitute In Feeding Trials
Feeding trials at multiple experiment stations show soy bean hay yields milk comparable to alfalfa and superior to red clover. The report suggests soy beans can substitute for other legume hay during shortages. Minnesota planted 200000 more acres than any other state last year for hay and seed.
