HOW TO FIND THE CAPACITY
OF A CORN CRIB In BUSHELS

DO you know how much corn is left
in your crib, or how many bushels a
given space will contain. If you know
the rules for estimating quantities of
stored grain, the problem is simple.
In estimating the number of BUSH
els of corn in a crib, find the number
of cubic feet in the pile of ear corn
and divide this product by 2 IA. The
result thus obtained represents the
number of bushels of shelled corn in
the pile of ears and is a fair approx
imation for well-settled ear corn of
good quality. However, if the corn
is of poor quality a higher factor
should be used. say 3-S or IL.
A standard bushel contains 2,150.42
cubic inches, or nearly l IA cubic
feet. This is a bushel, by measure,
of shelled corn or of other grain. A
bushel of corn on the ear varies wide
~ ia v0iuifiG and may occupy moro or
considerably less than twice the
space occupied by a bushel of shelled
corn. On the average, IA cubic feet
Of good, sound ear corn will make a
bushel of shelled corn.
If the crib is wider at the top than
at the bottom, find the average width
ny duNlAA6 lO5GluGL llE WAuln 1T lAlO
bottom and at the top of the corn and
dividing by 2. Then multiply this av-
erage width by the height and length
to find the cubic contents, and divide
by 2 IA to find the number of BUSH
els of corn in the crib.
The cubic contents of a round crib
are found by multiplying together the
area of the base and the height of
the crib. The area of the base is
found by the formula used for finding
the area of circle; that is, by multi
plying the diameter by itself, and this
product by 0.7S54. Then multiply by
the height Divide by 2 IA as before,
and you have the number of shelled
corn.
In buying or selling ear corn by
weight, which is the general prac-
tice, it is customary to allow 20
pounds of air-dried ear corn to the
bushel. This quantity of ear corn
will give about Sc pounds of shelled
corn (or an even bushel, or 2,150.42
cubic inches) and IA pounds of cobs.
There is some variation from this
figure due to difference in percent
age of grain to cob and to the weight
of a measured bushel of shelled corn.
To estimate the number Of bushels
in bin of shelled corn, multiply to-
gether the length. breadth, and height
in feet of the pile Of corn, and divide
by. / Id. If the dimensions are in
inches. multiply together the length,
breadth, and height in inches and di-
vide by 2l50A This same rule can be
used for measuring or estimating the
number Of bushels of other grain, as
wheat, rye. oats, etc The contents of
round OF cylindrical bin is found by
multiplying the area of the base by
the height. as directed for finding the
contents Of round crib. The cubic

STATE FINANCES

From Sunday. Star
ThOughthe disclaims having made
an exhaustive study of the subject,
the address of Mr.. Robert H. Rich
ards on State Finances, - delivered
before the Delaware Bankers Asso-
citation, uncOvers some of tbe serious
defects in the conduct of the financial
affairs of Delaware thatf prudence
and good citizenship reditire to be
remedied by the next Legislature.
tf BecauseS of the Importance of the
subject the. Bankers Association has
had Mr.. Richards address, printed in
pamphlet form and thinking citizens
will do well to get a copy of it and
unbusinesslike methods which are
cited. as well as the way for improve
ment which is suggested.
Many citizens, for r3instance, will be
startled by Mr.. Richards statement
that. $50 far as The meager and in
adequate methods of accounting en-
ployed in the states finance disclose
the purposes of the outstanding issues
OF State BOn1s, many of them were
issued for the purpose of getting mon-
ev to pay the current expenses of
state government. In fact. bonds OF
the state were sold to pay the ex-
penses of the Constitutional Conven-
ton that framed the present COnsti-
tuition of the state in lS9a ? The OK
pense of this convention was the
meager sum Of $4,000, yet the state
was unable to pay j. out bf current
funds nor did the legislature make
provision for it by additional taxa
tion, although two sessions of the
General Assembly had opportunity to
do so before the convention had COM
pleted its work. The money was bor-
rowed to pay this current expense of
government twenty-three years ago
and my understanding Is that the debt
has not yet been paid"
But this is a mere incident in a
long list of instances showing how in
adequate for the conduct of the
--t4+e2-s.- ~ h4lsiness s-1l1s44-- -ahn1t 60 400 nln
a year, are the Jaws, methods and
that we rely upon.
Among the suggestions OF Mr.. Rich
ards is one recommendation which he
believes would go far toward the
of the present evils and
that is the adoption of a budget sys-
tenn under which the states financial
affairs must be operated.
How important the immediate adop-
ton of such a system is Mr.. Richards
address clearly shows. and IL the
facts that he has assembled are un-
1erstandingly read by the voters of
The state there can be little doubt |
hat there will be such a demand for |
reform as will bring legislative ac-
ion to that end.

CAPITAL STOCK TAX
RETURNS ORDERED

Capital Stock Tax Returns must be
filed on or before July 81. 1920, with
the Collector of Internal Revenue, H.
7. Graham, Federal Building, by ev-
cry corporation doing business in the
State of Delaware.
With view to the prompt collection
of the Capital Stock Tax and for the
conveniences of the taxpayers as well
as the Government, the Collector to-
day suggested that the corporations
submit checks with the returns for
the amount Of tax due. This method,
1t was explained, is appealing to cor
porations as it lessons liability to
penalties.
AS corporations are organized to do
business, every existing corporation
will be presumed to be subject to the
tax unless it submits proof satisfac-
tory to the commissioner that il IS
not doing business.
Many corporations make statements
that they are not engaged in business
or are exempt under Section 231.
but do not state fully the conditions
of the company or the reasons for
claiming exemption. The experience
OF this Office is that upon investiga-
tion many such corporations are held
liable for capital stock tax.
AS the final determination Of tax
liability rests with the Department.
it is the duty of every corporation to
file a return and if exemption from
tax is claI9ed to furnish sufficient
data on fonS provided for that pur-
pose 20 support the claim.

MAILING ANOTHER lie

Washington, July 23-"A malicious
attack of political enemies" says the
Republican Publicity Association,
through it's president, Hon. jonathan
Bourne, Ja., of a statement which
certain labor journals are attempt
ing to pin on Harding, but for which
no reliable authority is cited:
"A story appears to be going the
rounds of some of the Democratic Ia
Dor papers that Senator Harding
once said that "a dollar a day is
enough for any wOrkingman," con-
tinues the Association. ITO the intel
ligent reader the very absurdity of
the statement stamps it as a vicious
slander. But tOthose who are apt to
accept a story at it's face value, no
matter how opposed to reason it may
be, it is well to state right now that
the dollaT-a-day story is a deliberate,
unqualified. and cruel lie. Its circu-
latiOn at this ttime is one of the de-
testable schemes indulged in by Sen
ator Harding's political enemies on
the theory that it is far easier to give
man a bad name than it is to cor
rect the false impression once it is
made

TAFT WOULD NOT AMEND
THE V0LSTEAD ACT

EX-President Taft, in a letter to the
editor Of The Chicago Tribune, dated
Pointe au Pic, Quebec, July %, clear
ly defines his attitude on the VOlstead
law, declaring that he is not in favor
of its modification or amendment or
Of allowing light wines and beer to be
sold under the Eighteenth Amend
ment. Mr.. Taft writes as follows:
Il am in receipt of several letters
commenting on an interview with me,
said to be reported in the Chicago
Tribune, in which I am represented as
approving a modification of the Vol
stead law so as to allow the manll-
facture and sale of light wines and
beer. / have not seen the interview
A reporter of your paper met me at
the Blackstone Hotel just as l was
leaving for an extended speaking tour
in the DakOtas in June last. He rode
to the train with me-
in that interview I expressed no
Opinion favorable to the modification
of the Volstead act. said was in
favor Of it's enforcement; that 1 was
a democrat spelled with a small d.
and bowed to the Vill of the people
expressed in constitutional way.
Your reporter pressed me to say
whether under the Eighteenth Amend
ment Congress had power to define
intoxicating liquor in such a way as
to allow the making and sale of light
wines and beers with a greater per-
centage of alcohol than now provided
in the Volstead law.
81 answered that Congress had that
power within the limits of good faith,
and that the Supreme Court would be
very loath to attribute bad faith to
Congress, coordinate branch of the
government in such case.
In respect to the enforcement of
prohibition 1 ventured the opinion
that it could be better enforced by
moderate penalties and reasonable
provisions than by Draconian sever
ity. and that harshly inquisitoriai
measures and heavy penalties, sought
by fanatics, would obstruct rather
than aid the law and would stir pro-
test and turn the people against pro-
hibition.
AS a matter of fact. I am not in
favor of amending the Volstead act
in respect to the amount of permiss-
ible alcohol in beverages. 1 am not in
favor of allowing light wines and
beer to be sold under the Eighteenth
l believe it would defeat
the purpose of the amendment. No
such distinction as that between
wines and heer on the one hand and
sDirituous liquors on the other is
practicable as a police measure.
Il did not favor national prohibition
when it was an issue. 1t has been
adopted under Constitutional forms
by the people, and it should be en-
forced in good faith. Any such loop
hole as light wines and beer would |
make the amendment laughing
stock
Kindly publish this.
