TEST JUICE ON FARM
Economy of Electricity to
Be Ascertained.
nv NEA Service

BY NEA Service
MADISON, Wis, June ga
meter on every electric appliance on
two test farms in Wisconsin is the
way the state is trying to discover
just how economical the use OF
electricity for farming can be.
Tabulations already taken, after
a half years operation, show not
only that there is a tendency to
make the electrical appliances pay
for themselves, but that a profit is
actually being shown in a variety
of farm operations.
The test is being conducted under
the direction of the University Of
Wisconsin and the electric service
industry on two farms.
Meter readings are taken every
month, and the farmers are CO.
operating by keeping accurate tab
of the work performed by each ap-
paratus.

AUiation Flight Records Are Checked
BY Bureau of Standards Paragraphs
Sealed instrument Tells
Altitude and Time of All
Air Movements.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Avia-
tors kept right on setting new rec
ords for altitude, distance, endur-
ance and what-not, but if it were
not for the Paragraph these rec
ords wouldn't count.
The Paragraph is the small in
strument which proves that the rec
ord breaking pilots aren't fibbing.
If Lindbergh or Chamberlin had
stopped in Newfoundland for rest
and sthen claimed to have made a
nonstop flight, the tracings on the
paragraphs little chart would have
given them away.
One of the very latest things that
happens when a f1ier starts off
across the Atlantic or up for new
altitude record is the sealing of
the Paragraph.
Secretary Seals Machines
Most of this sealing has been
done by Carl F. Schory, secretary
of the contest committee of the
National Aeronautic Association,
which, in cooperation with the
Federation Aeronautique Interna-
tionale, of which it is member,
determines the authenticity of rec
ords.
Schory, for instance, sealed the
paragraphs on the Spirit of st.
Louis, the Columbia-Chamberlins
plane, and the Sikorsky plane in
which Rene Fonck failed so trag-
ically to start the New York-to-
Paris hop last year.
Is Simple Mechanism
The Paragraph is steel box
eight or ten inches long, with deli
cate but simple mechanism which
records both altitude and the dura-
ton of the fight.
At one end of the steel bottom. of
the box, slowly revolves an upright
drum, on which is rolled chart,
Resting on the drum is a finely
pointed pen, the other end of which
is attached to a series of vacuumed
diaphragms at the others end of
the frame.
AS the plane attains altitude, the
atmosphereis pressure lessons. The
diaphragms expand, controlling the
pen and pushing it upward on the

Scientists Amazed by Swiss
Farmers Methods.

BIZ NEA Serrice
WARRENTON, Mo. June 81
Electrical scientists of the country
are making pilgrimages to the farm
of Henry Surber, near here, where
crops are growing with the aid of
electricity picked out of the air.
At least, this is the assertion OF
Surber himself, q native of Switzer-
land. who brought this idea from
Europe.
Scientists are doubtful, but there
is the farm and there are the crops
grapes, apples and other farm
products in greater abundance and
better quality than those on any
other farm in this section.
The Missouri State board of agri-
culture is making st study of Sur
ber's plant" with a possible view
of giving other farmers advantage
of his methods.

drum, making tracing the while.
When the plane is standing on the
ground the drum SHOWS horizon
tai line and, of course, if the plane
comes down to the ground after a
fight the fact is duly recorded by
the sinking pen.
The drum makes a revolution
ever hour, every two hours or what
ever time is desired.
To seal this machine after the
cover is dropped down over it, the
same method is used as in sealing
a trunk for shipment. A string or
wire is tied around it and the seal
welded on SO that it cannot be re-
moved without detection.
In fight, the Paragraph is sus-
pended on springs and rubber shock
absorbers so that the vibration will
not affect its record.
After record fight, the Paragraph
is generally taken to the Bureau of
Standards here for celebration by
w. G. Brombacher.
