SAN DIEGO, Calf, Feb 9.--Crea-
ton of naval base at San Diego,
Calf. as ordered by the navy depart
ment, has started Il program OF deVel-

transfer already are under way. The
yards will be turned into a nevy repair
plant capable of handling all but the
largest dreadnaughts.
Other improvements will be the cx-
tension OF the North Island flying
field. largely increased hospital facil-
tiles. construction of a marine brigade
post. extensive improvements to the
channels in San Diego harbor, and
erection of a navy supply station.
With the issuance of the order

REALTY SALES
FOR FEBRUARY
MAKING RECORD
BUSINESS FOR FIRST FIVE DAYS
OF PRESENT MONTH sURPASS.
Es FEBRUARY, 1917.
JANUARY WAS RECORD BREAKER
" Present Pace Is Maintained, Year
OF 1920 Will Establish a Record for
All Time to come-Some Big Sales
Made This Month.

If the first FIVE days of this month
can be taken as an index, February is
going to hang up a new record for
realty transfers in Maury county for
February. January of the present
year year broke all past records,
when during the month more than u
million dollars worth of Maury coun-
~ real property changed hands This
was more than one-fourth of the en-
tire sales for the year 1919.
The splendid pace set during the
month OF January is being maintained
by the present month and for the first
five days of the month the transfers.
according to records at the court
house are more than twice the num-
Der OF those for the corresponding pc
rlod in the year 1913. There have
been some large deals in real estate
during the present month also. one
OF them being for total of $50 900.
This deal alone is nearly twothirds
OF the amount Of transfers recorded
in the year of 1917, when transfers
Of only 500 900 worth of property was
recorded during the entire month of
February 1t is believed that when
the revenue books are totalled up
that it will also show that the trans
fers for the first five days of this
month will be more than the entire
month Of February, 1915 when prop
arty worth $16S,7 700 changed hands.
Business in February, 1919, was con
siderably better the transfers for Feb
guary amounting to sos, 100.
If the splendid business which has
marked the first month of the pres
ent year, and the first week of Februs
airy has set a pace, which if maintain
ed will put Malny county in class
all by itself when it comes to realty

CAN YOU MEASURE
CORN IN THE CRIB
The Capacity in Bushels May
Be Easily Found
Clubs

Do you know how much corn is
left in your crib, or how many
bushels a given space will con-
tain? If you know the rules for
estimating quantities of stored
grain, the problem is simple.
In estimating the number of
bushels of corn in a crib, find the
number of cubic feet in the pile
of ear corn and divide this product
by 2A. The result thus obtained
represents the number of bushels
Of shelled corn in the pile of ears
and is a fair approximation for
well-settled ear corn of good quail
ity. However, if the corn is of
poor quality "a higher factor should
be used, say 23s or 21a.
A standard bushel contains g.
150.42 cubic inches, or nearly Ia

pounds of air-dried ear corn to the
bushel. This quantity or ear corn
will give about Sc pounds of she'll
ed corn Cor an even bushel, or
2,150.42 cubic inches) and ID
pounds of cobs. There is some
variation from this figure due to
difference in percentage Of grain
to cob and to the weight of a
measured bushel of shelled corn.
To estimate the number of
bushels in a bin of shelled corn,
multiply together the length,
breadth, and height in feet of the
pile of corn, and divide by IA. If
the dimensions are m inches, mul-
tiply together the length, breadth,
and height in inches and divide by
2,150. This same rule can be used
for measuring or estimating the
number of bushels of other grain,
as heat, rye, oats, etc. The con
tents of round cylindrical bin is
found by multiplying the area OF
the base by the height, as directed
for finding the contents Of a rounc
crib. The cubic feet of shelled corr
are then converted into bushels by
dividing by IA.

cubic feet. This is bushel, by
measure, of shelled corn or other
grain. A bushel of corn on the ear
varies widely in volume and may
occupy more or considerably less
than twice the space occupied by a
bushel of shelled corn. On the
average, 21A cubic feet of good,
sound ear corn will make a bushel
of shelled corn. Go
If the crib is wider at the top
than at the bottom, find the aver
age width by adding together the
width at the bottom and at the top
of the crib and dividing by 2,
Then multiply this average width
by the height and length to- find
the cubic contents, and divide by
21l to find the number of bushels
of corn in the crib.
The cubic contents of a round
crib are found by multiplying to.
gether the area of the base and the
height of the crib. The area of the
base is found by the formula uset
