WEATHER BUREAU
USING NEW SCALE
Winds will be Known Hereafter a.
Breezes and Gales, Accord
Ing to Orders.

Hereafter the United States wealth
er bureau, when it sends out daily
representations, will use what is
known as the Beaufort scale in desig-
mating wind velocities. Instead of
"brisk winds, becoming northsrly,"
there will be moderate breezes,"
strong breezes," or per chance a
moderate gale"
A moderate gale means literally a
wind velocity Of thirty-four to forty
miles per hour. If 1t blows just a
little harder than that it is "fresh
gale" while. the phrase strong gale"
indicates a current OF air sweeping
along at the rate of forty.eight to
fifty-six miles an hour.
A whole gale comes just next
door to being storm, and is the term
used to describe wind velocity of
fifty-six to sixty-five miles an hour.
Over sixty-five to seventy-five is a
storm, and if It blows any harder
than that it's safe to assume
that it has passed the limits of an
ordinary wind and becomes hurri-
cane.

BULLETIN ON
RENTED FARMS
Return on Investment is Always Small
Regardless Of Size Of
the place.

WASHINGTON, April popular
| belief that the farm owner who lives
! in the city and rents his farm is in the
class with predacious plutocrats was
given a severe jolt in a bulletin just
/ issued by the department Of agricul-
ture which shows that the average re-
turn from rented farms is out three
| and one half per cent on the invest
, ment. The size of the farm seems to
! have no effect on the percentage.
, The bureau of farm management
which developed these facts studied
several hundred farms in Indiana, Hi
nois and Iowa States in the corn
belt we're chosen because they excel
almost all other regions In wealth OF
| farm products. In this section mod
ern machinery, with more horses and
fewer men, has made the farm less
than 100 acres an inefficient unit
Further readjustments are constantly
taking place tending to lessen the num-
Der of persons needed and to increase
the net productions Of the farm.
The average labor income Of the
farm owners operating their own
farms was $40s for the year studied,
and $S7O for the tenants. These fig
ures are obtained by deducting five
per cent Of the capital investment
from the net income. AS the tenant
has q smaller capital Investment. this
labor income is proportionately larger.
Strangely enough the farmers max
ing the lowest labor incomes are on
big farms, but they fail through inef-
ficient management. Poor crops, low
prices for products sold, poor stock.
failure to work and unused capital are
given as the main causes contributing
to their failure. The income OF the
farmer who owns his farm Is in direct
proportion to his capital and the size
Of his farm Men owning small farms
often materially increase their incomes
by renting additional land. The ten
ants income is in direct proportion 70
tie risk he assumes. On the cash
rent basis, his income is greater In a
good year and less in a poor year than
when he rents on the share basis. APP

farm expense is for labor, and for this
reason the family size" farm is the
most desirable; that is, one which pro
