Meanwhile, the shift of production
from oats, chiefly used as food for
horses, to that of wheat as food for

What is sound?
There isn't any such thing—not, at
all events, as people ordinarily think
of it.
Without an ear to hear it, there
would be no sound. But for the pre-
sence of the atmosphere about us,
there could be no noise. On the moon
you would have no voice. If a 42 -
centimeter gun • were fired ten feet
away you would hear nothing.
What we call sound is merely an ef-
fect of air vibrations impinging upon
the auditory nerve. But, oddly
enough, when the number of these vi-
brations per second falls below a cer-
tain point, we1hear nothing, and the
same is true when it rises above a
certain point.
Thus, there are sounds that we can-
not hear, There is no question of the
fact that the noises made by many
insects are wholly inaudible to us, by
reason of their high pitch, But they
are audible to other insects undoubt-
