SCALING OF LOGS
A Comparison of Several Different
Rules Used in Vermont.

A recent bulletin issued by the
Vermont experiment station has &c
do with log scales; something OF vi
tai interest to farmers who cut logs
Tor lumber, whether for their own
uge of to sell 10 mills. The bulletin
is free upon application TO the sta
ton.
In order to get accurate data on
the correctness OF some of the log
rules in use in Vermont in compari-
son with actual mill tallies, 159 soft
wood logs have been measured at
the mill and the amount of lumber
sawed from them noted.
A log rule" or log scale is table
which purports to- give the volume
in board feet Of logs of various diam
eters and lengths Log rules are
made in various ways, some from
diagrams, others from actual mill
tallies, and still others from mathe-
NAUTICAL formulate. The latter method
of construction log rules is the most
accurate method. OF course the ac-
curacy of the results attained in a
given case depends upon the formula
used
The statutes of Vermont make the
Vermont rule" the legal scale. This
rule is based on the premise that the
board foot contents of a II foot log
are equal to the product of the small
diameter by half of itself.
Another rule, most commonly used
in this section is known as the Doyle
or Scribner rule. This is based on the
formula that the board feet in log
equal the square of the diameter
minus four and divided by four, null
tiplied by the length.
Prof. A. Y Daniels of the Univer-
sity of Vermont has prepared what is
called the Champlain rule, in which
the board feet are ascertained by
squaring the diameter of the log and
multiplying this by the quotient OF
3,1416 divided by 5, substracting 16
and multiplying the result by the quo
tient of IL divided by s.
1t was found that 1876 logs between
and II inches in diameter sawed 6,
10 board feet; that the total scale OF
these logs by the Vermont rule was
5,04S board feet or 50 per cent OF
the mill scale; by the Doyle rule 2.
24S board feet or SO per cent of the
mill scale; and by the ChamplaiI,
rule 1920 board feet or IS per cent
cent of the mill scale.
The total mill scale of the "a logs
between 13 and 20 inches was 3,159
board feet. The scale by the Yer
mont rule was 200 board feet, or sc
per cent of the mill scale; by the
Doyle rule 1929 board feet or 20 pei
cent of the mill scale; by the Cham
plain rule 3,0S9 board feet or 81 per
cent of the mil scale.
While the results by the Vermont
and Champlain rules do not vary ap-
preciably when used on small logs,
there is distinct difference when
applied to large logs. The Champlain
rule is, therefore, much the more
accurate for all purposes.

every now and then there is discovery
made in this profitable field of thcat-

successfully by Walter De Leon, the
Young California author-composer"ac actor;
who has written an entirely new and
original musical comedy, entitled 1.-The
Campus which Ferris Hartman will
bring to tho Colonial theater this even

This is the first time in a number

The music of "The Campus, - next to
the comedy clement. is considered its
greatest charm. for it is bright, clever
and original. The Los Angeles Record,
in speaking of "The Campus said: |
'' The Campus is decided musical
triumph because it has real plot,
bright dialogue, situations that are not
the old hsckueyed ones found in most
performances Of its class. It contains |
real characters that stand out plainly |

is excellent You can take some of the |
tunes home with YOU and whistle them |
and yet the music is above the average
