TO INCREASE POTATO YIELD
Gains Of over Thlrty-one Bushels to
tho Acre Reported From Ohio ,
BY Spraying.

When the actual increases In the
potato yields Of 62 Ohio farmers who
sprayed their spuds were checked,
they were found to average 81 bushels
to the acre. This checks pretty closely
with the experience of 80 others who
kept figures in 1921, averaging 31.0
bushels to the acre increase.
According to L. II. Parks, Of Ohio
State university, the increase in yield
varied from none to OF bushels to the
acre, or from none to 107 per cent.
Out Of total Of 106 tests only four
have failed to show an increase due
to spraying, and 80 Of the tests showed
gains Of over 80 bushels per acre.
In net cash returns these Ohio grow
ers had an average Increase of $30.2S
per acre.
The experience Of these men also IL
lustrates the Importance Of thorough
ness.
"Four applications showed the high
est net gain from spraying" reports
Mr.. Parks. "A distinct relation ap-
peared between gain in yield and thor
oughness of spraying. To prevent

Sentinel Of the Dead.

Dan Homet of Glasgow, one Of the
divers who have been working on the
wreck Of the warship Ariadne, sunk
by German submarine of East
bourne, England, In 1917, came up
from the wreck recently with the
strange story Of having seen marine
supported by portion of the ship
standing as though on duty, his rife
with bayonet fixed, grasped In his
hand. He seemed as though he had
been in the same position In the dim
shadows Of the wreck for FIVE years,
standing sentry over the dead, for 80
men are believed to have gone down
with the ship.
"The diver told the story when he
came up from the wreck after being
imprisoned there for an hour" said
Mr.. Pollard. who is In charge Of the
diving operations. HE got into an
awkward corner and narrowly es
capped with his life. He was in Z

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The water-0rrying capacity Of q
culvert pipe can be appreciably in
creased by merely rounding the inlet
end, according to tests conducted by
the bureau OF public roads, United

These tests were conducted In the
hydraulic laboratory of the State uni
versity Of Iowa and Indicate that a

cheney.
II Is well-known fact that an
opening with sharp corners retards the
flow of water. The curved entrance
does not need to be large to be bene-
fetal. Simply filling and rounding the
groove at the bell end of vitrlfied
pipe with cement mortar will increase
the capacity. The same result can be
secured with any kind Of pipe by plac-
ing the end few inches back from
the face of the head wall instead OF
setting It flush and rounding the con-
crete so as to form bell-mouthed en-
trance. Such an arrangement is par
ticularly effective when the entrance
to the culvert is submerged and great
er capacity is needed.
From actual tests made on pipe
flowing full of water It was found that
the bell end of a sewer pipe Mt the
entrance increased the capacity 10
per cent over that Of pipe of the
same size with a sharp-cornered en-
trance. Filling In the bell end and
rounding to an elliptical shape with
mortar caused an additional flow Of 2
per cent or IL per cent more than the
sharp-cornered entrance. This In
crease in capacity is due to the elm
ination Of the cross currents and ed
dies set up by square-end entrance.
Water will enter n pipe culvert In
greater quantities when guided smooth
ly by a rounded entrance than when
retarded by eddies. The slight modl.
fication of pipe culvert entrance by
merely rounding the inlet end Is well
worth while, considering the greater
capacity obtained and the small in.
