FEDERAL ORDER
MAYCAUSETIE-UP,
GRAIN JEN FEAR
Request to Hold Corn Three
Weeks Will Result in Con
gestion at Elevators and
Drying Plants.
Drying plants in Omah termina
i .
ticvarors are running to capacity
night and day to make a marketable
product out of the corn that is being
received at the Omaha Grain ex
change.,
The capacity of the drying plants
is 100,000 bushels each 24 hours, but
mis is not sufficient to keep ahead
of the corn receipts, which range
from 250,000 to 600,000 bushels daily.
-ne iooa administration has re
quested Omaha Grain exchange tnern
bers to discontinue sales for domestic
consumption for three weeks and hold
the accumulation for exports
All Ornaha grain "dealers and ex
change members have signified their
willingness to co-operate with the
food administration, but thev are at
a loss to know what they are going
to do with the corn that will accumu
late in the elevators during the oeriod
and which must all go through the
drying process before it can be safely
exported. The capacity of the ele
vators in Umaha is 10,000,010 bushels
and the first of the week they were
tilled to one-third capacity.
Fear Congestion.
With receiots two or three times
larger' than those '.shipments, which
can be made, grain men are anticipat
ing serious congestion long before
the end of the holding period.
The. corn coming to the Omaha
market at this time is in much bet
ter condition thart that moved dur
ing the early part of the shipping
season, but still practically all ot it
must go through the drying process,
as it contains 18 to 30 per cent of
moisture. ,
While grain dealers have no def
inite figures, they estimate that of the
223,000,000 bushels of corn raised in
Nebraska last year, January 15, when
the last "close estimate was made,
there remained in first hands some
thing like 80,000,000 bushels. Since
then a considerable quantity has come
to market. At a guess, the most con
servative of the Omaha grain men
say that the "corn, still in the cribs
on the farms will run around 50,
000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels.
Former Bee Man Now Does
"Nose Dives" at 5,000 Feet
Anthony ' M. Easterling, a former
member of The Bee editorial- staff, is
winning his spurs as an aviator it

that he is just as much at home 5,000
feet in the air as. he would be walking

Easterling has taken airships up in
regular gales and 'relates that a few
days ago he was in a "spinning nose
dive," starting at an elevation of 5,000
feet and getting into, the clear at 1,500
feet. .

ing'the life of a birdman.
-"There are no gray-haired aviators,
is one of the humorous comments he

at last found an activity .which suits
him temperamentally.

'-The Heavens in March
By WILLIAM F. RIGGE.
On the last day of this month we
celebrate the feast of Easter, the po
sition of which controls those of all
the movable -ea.ts of the entire year,
The date of Easter itself is determined
by the conditions that it shall occur
on the Sunday following the first' full
moon of spring. The beginning of
spring has been fixed upon the 21st of
March, and the leap years in our cal
endar have been so arranged that the
true astronomical equinox, when the
sun crosses the equator in tts north
ward journey, shall not at any time
differ from the calendar spring of
March 21, by more than a day.
According to the conditions the date
of Easter must occur between March
22 and April 25. The earliest date
March 22, happens when there is a
full moon on March 21. and the fol
lowing day is a Sunday. The latest
date, April 25, occurs when there is a
full moon on the day before the besrin
ning of spring, that is, on March 20,
so that the following full moon on
April 18 is then the first full moon of
spring. Should this day, April 18, be
a Sunday, we must wait until the fol
lowing one, April 25, to celebrate the
feast. ,
These extreme ; dates occur, of
course, very rarely. The earliest haD.
pens only 30 times and the latest onlv
46 times, in 6,000 years. The one that
comes oftenest, 233 times, is that of
April 19. The date of the present
year, March 31, occurs 204 times in
6,000 years. It occurred last in 1907
and wnl happen next in 1929. The in
terval here is 11 years, which is a very
common one among the dates of Eas
ter, lhe shortest possible interval a
five or six years, according as it con
tains two leap years or onlv one. such
as April 4 in 1915, 1920, 1926.
lo some people the shiftine of the
date of Easter over the' five weeks ex
tending from March 22 to April 25,
brings witn it so many inconveniences
that they wish to confine it within one
week,' such as the first week of April.
As this change in the calendar can be
settled only by international agree
ment, it may possibly be one of the
articles of peace. At all events noth
ing can be done until the war is over.
On the Zlst of the month at 4:26
a.rn., the sun crosses the equator, en
ters the sign of Aries or the Ram. and
astronomical spring begins. Day and
night are then equal all over the
world. " The -first full moon after this
falls on the 27th, a Wednesday, so that
the bunday following, the 31st, is Eas
ter. .
The. days increase one hour and 20
minutes during the month, the great
est monthly change of the year. On
the 1st the -day is 11 hours and 11
minutes. long, and on the 31st it is 12
hours 31 minutes. If we take refraction-
into account, which accelerates
sunrise and retards sunset three min
utes in our latitude. , the dav of the
equinox, the 21st, is in reality 12 hours
6 minutes long, so that it is the 19th
that is exactly 12 hours 0 minutes
long.; On that day, the sun, because it
is if minutes slow oft central time.
rises at 6:32, gives us noon at 12:32.
ana sets at . .
Venus is now morning star and at
tains its greatest brilliancy on the
16th. It rises that morning at 4:38.
To compensate for the loss of Venus
in the evening sky, we have Jupiter,
Saturn and -Mars, which -cross the
meridian on the 15th respectively at
a:uv p. m., p. m., atld 12:35 a. m.
Alars is nearest the earth on the 18th,
lhe moon is in conjunction with
Venus on the 10th, with Jupiter on the
17th, with Saturn on the 22d, and with
Mars on tne ZOth.
