NO DEFINITE
STANDARDS FOR
BUSHEL WEIGHTS

What does bushel weight? This
is question which often arises for
which there is no definite answer. No
standards have ever been fixed by ma
tional legislation, and the Georgia
law covering weights and standards Of
grains and commodities is greatly in
need of revision. The statute by which
measures are determined was enacted
many years ago, and consequently
govern in the cases of only a very
few crops.
The old Winchester bushel of
2.1s042 cubic inches was the original
measurement for the various kinds
of grain and farm commodities of sim
liar size as we'll as dried beans, peas
and other products. The quantity re-
presented by the heaped bushel, how
ever has never been fixed by Con-
gress. The only laws in this regard
were passed by states, and these vary
and give rise to great deal of con-
fusion. For instance, the weight of a
bushel of sweet potatoes varies from
46 pounds in one state, to o5 pounds
in another.
The weights for grains and farm
commodities in the various states
have been investigated by M. c, Gay,
Marketing Specialist of the State
College of Agriculture, and the fol-
lowing standards for bushel for the
most common are given:
Cane seed, so pounds; cowpeas, 90
pounds; beans dry. so pounds; beans
(green), "a pounds; beans Gima),
So pounds; soy beans, So and 90
pounds; clover seed, 90 pounds; corn,
Gin the carr, 90 to u pounds; corn,
(shelled). Sc pounds; corn (unhuskedD
u to Is pounds; cotton seed, % to
80. mainly 80 pounds; oats, 81 pounds;
onions, 81 to 81 pounds; peaches, 48
pounds; peanuts. 20 to Is pounds.
mainly y pounds; Irish potatoes, 90
pounds; sweet potatoes, 46 to 65,
mainly 50 and S. pounds in the south.

This Firpo, He
 Is a Nice Lil
 Boy! Yes He Is!i

The good Senor Firpo has a curious sense of gratitude.
 The news dispatches an- nounce that he has passed up Tex Rickard and signed with ''cloak and suit" syndicate to meet Harry Wills, giant colored man, next summer.
 No one will blame Firpo for getting as much as he can for his services. The fight racket is a dog-eat-dog proposition. But Rickard was pretty nice to the South American last year. He took him when he was un- known and just about penniless and gave him work.
 Rickard was one of the few men who believed in Firpo. Firpo was generally ridiculed as an opponent for Dempsey, but -Rickard went through with the match in the face of wide- spread hostile criticism and it was a big success.
 Rickard assured Firpo he would duplicate any legiti- mate offer" other promoters made for a Wills match. Tirpo cabled Rickard in reply: You are too late"

Billiard Stars
 Will Soon Have
 To Use Caddies

Pretty soon the billiard payers will be using caddies.
 Few of the stars go through important matches any more with only one cue.
 Willie Hoppe. for instance, uses a certain type of cue to play a masse shot and an en- tirely different type to play a draw shot.
 Just as a golfer will use a wooden club for d long drive and q mashie nibick for a short pitch.
 George Spears, professional exhibition player, uses five dif- ferent cues. The cues vary as to length. weight and thickness.
 Frank Ives, former worlds champion biliiardist, set the fashion in this respect. Ives always used three different cues during a match.

Al-NeW Britain Has Big Job on
 Its Hands

A red hot tilt is expected at the State Armory tonight when the Y. M. H. A. of Hartford and the All New Britain basketball teams clash in their second game of the season. In the first encounter the Hartford aggregation won over the local quintet by the score of 70 to 2S in game played in the capital city. The All-New Britains after their bril- liant showing last Saturday night against the West Sides are confident that they will take the visitors into camp.
 An added feature of the game this evening will be the appearance of "Kisky" Feldman, former Holyoke High school star and a member of the Holyoke team in the interstate league two years ago, who will hold down the right forward berth for the visitors. This will mark Feldman's first appearance on a basketball court in this city.
 The preliminary game will be be- tween the Falcons and the Rangers Of the City league.
 The first game will get under way at s O'clock and the feature game will start promptly at 9 o'clock. Dancing will follow.
