BUSAEL MEASURE.
/ MOST PRACTICAL
People of Forty Different States
Favor 1t as Being Most
Definite Unit.
SACKS ARE TOO INDEFINITE
Weights Fer BusheI as Used by United
States Department Of Agriculture
In All Estimates Of Crop
Production.

prepared oy the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many growers, particularly in the
territory where field seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack, ask
why the United States department Of
agriculture estimates crop production
by bushel measure instead Of by sack
or hundredweight. The reason Is. that
oO,OO0,000 people in 40 states Of the
Union think, talk and measure by
bushels, the bushei being the standard
unit Of measure throughout this area.
The bushel measure is definite, and
congress and the states have stabilized
It ind specified the number of pounds
Npf different commodities legally con-
shutting bushel. The census figures
of crop production have all been re-
duced to bushels for all commodities
for which legal weights have been
used and doubtless will be used until
different unit of measure has been
adopted.
Sacks Not Standard.
A sack--the unit of measure in some
sections-is not definite and cannot be
made so, except by legal enactment,
standardizing the volume and then, in
turn, standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
and talked about in boxes. dried fruits
in pounds or tons, and it is doubtful IL
custom will permit of a material
change. In handling green fruits in
large quantities the ton Is the most
practical unit Of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box is in gen.
aral use. AS the lug box varies in size
from 30 to 40 and 80 to 60 pounds
there is more or less confusion unless
market quotations are made on the
basis Of lug boxes of specific sizes.
The central or hundredweight ap-
pears to be the most practical unit OF
measure and Is coming into general
use in the purchase and sale of grains
and vegetables. If the bulk handling
Of grain becomes general, as now
seems likely, the sack will disappear,
ana the central or DuShel VIII take It's
place.
BusheI Weights Used.
The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture in all estimates of
vrop production:
Apples, 4S pounds; beans (dried), GU
pounds; clover seed, 60 pounds; corn
(shelled), Sc pounds; corn on cob, 70
pounds; oats, 81 pounds; peaches, 4s
pounds; pears, 4S pounds; rye, sc

Eighteen Ton Wool Clip

Saturday afternoon south bound

don had two cars loaded with SO, 900
pounds of wool, comprising the sea-
sons clip Of members of the Cava-
lier County Wool Growers association
The shipment goes direct to the mar
kets of the east and is stated as be-.
ing several tons bigger than the con-
signment Of last year. When farmers
of Cavalier county get started raising
sheep to the extent that a small or
ganization of this kind can combine
in making shipment of eighteen
tons of wool a step has been taken
that oisproves the theory that our
farmers still depend upon their grain
crops as source of income. "A ship
ment of So 600 pounds of wool at
a net value of upwards As cents a
pound means something TO the farmer
who in the past two or three years
have started raising aheeh.

League Failed. to
Garry the County
Independent Voters Show Big
Gains Over Figure of Last
Falls General Election

Complete returns of the special
election held on Wednesday of last
week, although not yet officially pas
sed upon by the county canvassjng
board, show that the league lost out
in Cavalier county on all seven mea.
'sures referred by some $50 votes, most
of the electors having apparently
voted a straight ticket either for or
fagainst these seven legislative enact
ment that were referred back to the
people as demanded in their petitions
The vote also goes farther than
this as it show the sentiment favor
ing the independent voter has grown,
lin fact almost doubled since the elec.
tion of last fall when the issue was
fought out on the line of the legisla-
tive ticket and the league defeated
by majority of 178 votes, The full
returns will show that this gain of
of over 100 per cent affects both
the town and rural precincts alike
and is not confined to any one
section of the county. Weather con-
ditioEs were favorable and vote cast
was if anything above normal.
Over the state the non.partisan
league won out, carrying all referred
measures by majorities that will vary
little if any from 1000 votes apiece
There is no need to call attention to
the slump in these figures as compar:
ed to the majority of votes accorded
the league ticket in the state cleo
tion of last fall, when the indepen
dent voters only carried seven of the
counties, where the returns of last
weeks election show fifteen counties
as giving majorities against the
non. partisan league.
The total vote cast in this county
is shown by complete returns to be
as given below:

AMERICA MUST NOT BE BEHOLDEN TOANY OTHER COUNTRY FOR NAVAL
 PROTECTION, SAYS SEC. DANIEL z;

Annapolis, Jan. S1.-In presenting commissions today to the last class of reserve officers trained at the United States naval academy during the war, Secretary Daniels predicted that there will be no time of recession of interest in the navy"
 Not in your day. the secretary told the young officers. will there be any reduction of naval powers. We are now on the last stretch of building the three-year program Of naval con struction which was authorized three years ago"
 Secretary Daniels said he had no doubt that Congress would authorize the recommendation of President Wilson for another threeyear pro. Fram of construction. In building ships under that program. he said, the types of vessels would he con- structed which would keep our navy abreast of any navy in the world"
 we shall not build against any nation, the secretary continued "be- cause we have faith that the League of Peace will bring about such friend ship and understanding among all na tions as will ultimately cause a re duction In armament and a conse-
