THE 7 T
T 1920?

N TROUGH the initiative
W of the government bu-
reau of standards a bill
has been introduced in con-
greSs to compel the use of the
metric system in the United
States after 1920. What the
fate of the bill will be remains
Ito be seen.
The metric system is the le-
gal standard in 81 countries
and is permissible in nine
others, including the United
States and Great Britain. 1t
has never won the good will of
the manufacturers and merch-
ants of Great Britain, and even
in those countries, including
Germany, where it is the legal
standard, the older systems of
measurement exist and have
considerable vogue.
If the bill should pass there
would doubtless be opposition
TO the change on the part of
manufacturers and merchants
Some confusion and expense
would be inevitable. However
the metric system is the scien-
tific system of weights and
measures and once in real use
would doubtless prove very
beneficial.

. BALE OF HAY DOES NOT
EAT

III IGH prices paid for alfal-
VI ia hay in the Hermiston
- country the past winter
caused farmers to sell so much
hay that many of them have
none left for their own use.
Accordingly they are obliged
tc fence off some of their al
Ifalfa fields for paSturage pur-
poses. Meanwhile the alfalfa
acreage is being increased up
on the project and people look
for good prices for hay for sew
eral years.
Whether the move proves
profitable or not it will at least
be better than feeding the hay
to cattle and then be forced to
sell them at figures that bring
no returns for the feed. An
advantage in the alfalfa bust
ness is that there is generally
some competition among the
people desiring to buy hay,
There is no competition among
those buying beef. Further
more a bale of hay waiting fol
a good market does not eat
anything, wherein it differs
materially from cattle and
hogs.
