FARM SURVEYS.
How q ssraIsht-edse Board and Spirit
Level Can Be Used.

A means OF surveying for the farmer
without investment In any expensive
equipment has been offered by a cor.
respondent This can be readily prac-
ticed by any one. and requires only a
board with a straight edge and a spirit
level. The way To 70 about II Is this:
First determine the only two points,
the levels Of which you desire TO de-
termine. and drive stakes In the ground.
Then take board with an even edge
and tack Il 90 a tree. II one happens TO
be available within the line OF the two
stakes. Otherwise drive a third stake
In the ground between them. Put the
board at such a height that you can
readily sight over II. and carefully
level this board by means OF the spirit
level. Then sight over II toward one
Of the stakes. having some one al that
stake who will by means OF a small
piece OF paper locate the point at
which your line OF vision cuts tin
other words. where a line projected
from your sighting board would strike
the stake. Make some sort Of a mark
at this point, and then sight TO the 9th
er stake In the same way. and mark
the point where the line would strike
Il. by measuring distances that these
two points are above the ground you
can get the difference In levels with
reasonable accuracy. says the Journal
OF Agriculture. For instance. II your
line OF vision has cut one stake eight
feet from the ground. and the other
one Ave fee; from the ground. then oh.
viously the difference In level is three
feet, or. In other words. the vicinity OF
the stake on which the mark Is Ave
feet from the ground Is three feet
higher than the other stake. and you
will have a three foot fall from drain.

NO BLOOMINGDALE
ELEVEN THIS YEAR
Club Will Devote Energies TO Put
ting Another Strong Track
Team in Field.

The BlOOmingdaie Athletic Clue VIII
Tot have a football eleven this year.
The management states there were so
few teams in the 130-pOund class IN for
meryears that Il was with much difficulty
that games were obtained, 80 this year
the club gave Up the idea Of organizing
an eleven. The clubs strong point fox
years has been baseball, this year $
nine ecIipsiug all previous records The
club entered a team in the Capital City
League finishing fifth, which proved
q surprise.
The BIoomingdale track season IS I'M
usually bright. The club is q member
Of the Amateur Athletic Union, and IN
then. cross country run given last April
the club broke the South Atlantic rec
ord for entries. In this run Fleming,
Of George Washington, barely nosed

make up the senior team The second
team will be composed OF Walsh, who IS
now recovering from typhoid fever,

POTOMACS WITHDRAW
FROM BIG REGATTA
Coach Dempsey Unable to Book
Enough Men to Make
Up Crew.

Since the Middle States regatta here
on Labor Day very. little interest has
been shown I'm the rowing game by any
OF the club Oarsmeu-
II was feared that Coach DEMPSEY
would not be able to get the men he
wanted for the crew 10 go 10 Philadel-
phia, and so it has turned out.
Last sunday, when the call was. made
Tor candidates. seventeen men turned
out, but on the following Monday only
seven men reported forcing Coach
Dempsey himself 90 row 81 one of the
seats 20 make the full crew, and again
last night the same number reported. SO
IL was decided TO take some action In
the matter.
The board had a conference with
Dempsey, and decided that the triD
would have TO be called Of. much 10 the
disgust OF Dempsey, as he had his
heart set on beating the New Workers
on their own waters.
Most of the Potomac men have been
training continually since the early
spring, and 10 Is probably for this rea-
son that they have had enough rowing
for one year that they failed 10 come
out for the crew.
