| Show not hard to estimate contents of haystack estimating the amount of hay in a s tack stack seems on the face of it to be largely a matter of guesswork but federal experts have worked out a method of figuring which has been found to come within 5 per cent of curacy accuracy a c on all occasions the method Is based on the shape of the stack as the deciding fa factor e tor an overall measurement Is taken tak en that Is from the ground on one side over the top to the ground on the other side in the case of a roundtop stack for instance forty six hun bull of the width Is subtracted from fafty two hundredths of the overall measure measurement mInt and this result Is multiplied by the width and length of the stack with the cubic foot capacity of the stack it Is then a simple matter to divide by the number of cubic cible feet per ton of the various grains which go into the stack |
