EYES GROW KEENER IN DARK
Why the Sight Then Is More Sensitive
Than in the Light, Explained
by Scientists.

On entering dark room after
stay in the outside daylight the eye at
once begins to increase in sensltivity.
At first this increase appears to be
slow, but after five minutes the In
crease IS quite rapid, the eye acquiring
a sensitivity several hundred times its
Initial value, says writer In the
Journal Of General Physiology.
After 80 minutes sojourn in the
dark the scnsitivity still Increases, but
more slowly than before, and after 10
minutes or an hour the maximum sen
sitivity is reached. The final sensitiv-
lty varies slightly with different peo-
pie, but in fully adapted condition the
eye is easily 5000 or 10000 times more
sensitive than 1t was at the beginning.
These facts are obtained from Il
study of the scnsitiveness Of the eye
in the dark made by Seig Hecht OF
Creighton university, Omaha. Mr..
Hecht's study goes to show that the
increased sensitivenesS Is due to re-
versible photo-chemlcal reaction with

Bone Meal as a Fertilizer for Truck
Crops

H. G. B., Pavo, Ca, writes:
What is your opinion of the
value of bone meal that analyses
% per cent of phosphoric acid

I can buy it for $3.50 f. 0. b.
here in bags. If the phosphate
is not all available in one year,
it looks high to me based on the
prices for cotton seed meal and
rock phosphate goods.
Ground bone meal contains from
% to 25 per cent of total phosphoric
acid and from 2 1-2 to 1-2 per cent
of nitrogen. Meal of this character
simply represents crushed, or ground
bones, and the value of it depends
materially, on the fineness of divi-
sion and it's composition. The more
finely it is ground, the more quickly
will it decompose in the SOIL The
more quickly it decomposes, the
greater the availability of the plant
for the elements it contains. Raw,
ground bone is a good ferttliZing
material, but it is rather slow in
it's action. AS a rule, it will take
from three to five years to get all
Material of this character is gener-
ally better for use, therefore, on
soils rich in humus or on such crops
as grass where the season is long
and immediate results are not
sought. We would not be disposed
to recommend this material for use
under truck crops, therefore, since
we believe you can use other mate
rails which will be much more quick
ly available and which you can pur-
chase at a much lower relative cost.

to feed a little supplementary grain
