THE STANDARD YARDsTIcK.
Years of study and Experiments
Were Necessary to Produce 1t.

Years of study and Experiments
Were Necessary to Produce 1t.
People who handle the yardstick
have but little idea of the years of
study and experiments that were nee
essary to secure the standard yard
measure" observed an official of the
coast survey.
Bird, a famous scientist, made the
first standard yard in 1860, but the
English government did not legalize 1t
until 1924 Ten years afterward,
when the house of parliament In Lon
don was destroyed by fire. the stand
ard yard was lost. and England was
again without a standard yard of
length. Sheepsbanks next made a
standard measure. which the English
government adopted, and, so that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
of 1t, One of these was deposited in
the royal mint. another in the Royal
society, another in the observatory at
Greenwich. and the fourth was i'm
bedded in the walls of the new house
of parliament
'The standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are cop
les of the original. one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The Unit
ed States naval observatory has one
also. The delicacy of its construction
may be gathered by the fact that a
change of temperature of one-hun-
dredth of a degree of Fahrenheit has
been found to produce sensible effect
on the length of the bar.
1.-The copies of the standard are
made of bronze. for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal.
"The cost of the construction of the
original standard yard measure in
volved the labors of Bird and his as
sistants for nearly six years. Sleeps

accurate copies which he made from

The Cost of snraxinr potntoe..

Dr. B. T. Galloway says that with
suitable apparatus and labor at $1.50
per day potatoes may be sprayed six
times for about So per acre. This esti-
mate is based upon experiments ex-
tending over several years and includes
the cost of chemicals as we'll as labor.
The cost Of treating scab is mainly in
the labor involved in dipping and dry
ing the seed and seldom exceeds 10
cents per acre. Much attention has
been given to the effects of bordeaux
mixture ON the growth and yield of
potatoes aside from it's value in keep
ing parasitic foes in check. 1t has been
shown coI.cluslvely that it pays to APP
ply this preparation if for no other pur-
pose 4han TO induce a more vigorous
growth. Three or four applications of
the mixture have in many cases in
creased the yield of potatoes 80 per
cent, so that no matter where the crop
is grown or whether diseases are pres
ent or not DIR. Galloway feels warrant
ed in recommending the application Of
the mixture on the ground that its use
will yield a handsome return.
