Conversion to the metric sys- tem will be gradually taking place in Canada over the next few years. Now is the time to become familiar with the system. One of the major advantages of the metric system is its sim- plicity. Conversion to larger or smaller units involves only multiplication or division by units of 10. The meter (m) is the basic unit of length. Meters are divided into deci- meters (dm), centimeters(cm), and millimeters(mm)-- in other words, tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Thus, 10 decimeters - one meter 100 centimeters - one meter 1000 millimeters - one meter Going up, the units are deca- meters (dam), hectometers(hm) and kilometers (km). 1 decameter - 10 meters 1 hectometer - 100 meters 1 kilometer - 1000 meters For area, the basic unit is the square meter. A hectare (ha) is a square with sides 100 meters long. In volume, the basic unit is the cubic meter. In the metric system, volume or capacity is measured in liters (1), decaliters (dal) or hectoliters (h1). 1000 liters - 1 cubic meter 100 decaliters - 1 cubic meter 10 hectoliters - 1 cubic meter For harvesting or seeding 89 liters per hectare equals approximately one bushel per acre. In practice, the basic metric unit of weight is the kilogram (kg), which is equal to 1000 grams (g). 1 metric ton (t)- 1000 kilograms 1 quintal (q) - 100 kilograms 10 quintals - 1 metric ton The metric system, when it is fully adopted, will affect every area of our daily life. The farmer will have to get LOCAL BRIEFS Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bridge are holidaying in Florida. Mrs. Lillian Cox of Wingham was a visitor with Brussels friends this week. Mrs. W. C.

She was able to return home Monday of this week. used to thinking of metric quin- tals of wheat per hectare, rather than bushels per acre. The housewife will use grams, not ounces, in baking -- 225 grams of granulated sugar, not eight ounces (one cup); five grams of baking powder, instead of one teaspoon. For liquid measures, 2.3 de- ciliters are one cup; one half a liter is just under one pint. Our temperature scale will also be different. Under the converted system, we will use the centigrade rather than the fahrenheit scale. A very hot oven will be 230 degrees C, not 450 degrees F as we know it now. Normal body temperature will be 37 degrees C.
