How Bright Is Daylight?
Weatherman Will Tell

The United States weather bureau
has undertaken the task of deter-
mining what normal daylight bright
ness is.
investigations have beer made in
Washington and Chicago, when
have produced more
about daylight than has ever been
known. These Investigations are
expected to be of great importance
to farmers and to artitcal nghtlns
companies.
The weather bureau experiments
SO far have already brought out the
fact. for instance. hal a building as
high as the width of an ordinary
city street shuts off 55 per cent OF
the daylight available to the offices
in that building. White tile buildings
it has been found. improve the nat
ural illumination in a dark building
due to the light reflection.
The instrument with which these
light experiments are made consists
of a special photometer mounted in
a box-like house without a cover,
painted black inside and white OUT
side, so as to keep all light rays
from penetrating the machine ex-
cept those from above. The photo
meter measures the brightness of
daylight ana II Win d
standardized electric lamp.
AS a result Of these light studies
weather bureau officials believe
they will ultimately be able to pre-
dict the actual duration and severity
of storms. so that lighting plans can
store up emergency power n be
ready for the heavy demand on
their services when the storms
break.
For farmers and truck gardeners.
these studies will result in the es-
adjustment of light regions and the
coming of the United States into
districts especially adapted to the
production of certain corps. For ex-
ample, sugar beets need intense
sunlight during their growth. while
tobacco requires shade. By the
coming system. proper localities
will be found for the growth of such
plants as these.

OYSTERMEN TO OPPOSE
CONSERVATION TAX PLAN

Protect Industry, say Many In
Talbot County. 100000 Fund
Is Urged.

Easton Md, Feb. 1.-Oystermen
are stirred up over the recent visit
to this county Of the State Conserva-
ton Commission, which visit was
made for the purpose of getting in
formation to substantiate some OF
the recommendations made in the
commission report to the Governor
of the State. An appropriation of
100000 by the Legislature to be
used in saving the oyster, fish and
crab industry from ruin, as recon-
mended in the report, will be strong
ly opposed by local oystermen.
William H. Valiant, who has a
large oyster plant at Bellevue, was
visited by the commission. Chairman
Vickers while there said he fully ex-
pected opposition and in way well
coined it. i is said by the commits
sion that natural oyster beds are be-
ing wiped out because the shells are
used in the manufacture of lime ana
other industries instead of beinEpIlt
back on the beds for propagation.
For this reason a tax is needed with
which to buy shells and seed oysters
and to pay the cost of planting, it
was declared.
The commission said it was opcrat
ing under defcit of $4,000 a year,
and unless the money it is asking is
forthcoming the oyster and fish in
dustry will soon be of little conse-
Quence. Nj. Valiant was asked his
views. He saI1:

In my opinion, the Gull law Is the
best oyster law We have ever had,

oysters in this section at least. Ihe

On the market in competition with
ours. Virginia can beat us growing
oysters on private beds. Maryland
also loses the revenue on these oys-
ters as there are not likely to be any
taxes paid on them.

$4,000 tc help support the oyster
industry. In my opinion, it should
be self-supporting.
