lively visited, and, as we shall see In
the saga (of Eric the Red) which fol-
lows, there is no difficulty in Identify
ing the last named country, with its
self sowen fields of wheat, and its
abundance of wild grapes, with the
fertile shores Of Rhode Island. 2
The Encyclopedia Americana fol-
lows the same belief, defining Vim
land as 1.-THE chief settlement Of the
early Norsemen, represented in mod
ern times by Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island"
That Professor Olson inclines to the
view of DR.. Storm is shown by his
comment following his statement Of
DR.. Storms view as quoted above.
! He says;
"The sailing directions OF the Saga
of Eric the Red are given with sur
prising detail. These, with other OBJ
servations, seem to fit Nova Scotia
remarkably well. Only one thing ap-
pears to speak against DR.. Storms
view and that is the abundance Of
grapes to which the Flat Island Book
account testifies. But, coupled with
this testimony, are statements TO say
nothing of the unreliability of this
saga in other respects) that indicate
that the Islandic narrators had come
to believe that grapes were gathered
In the spring. thus invalidating the
testimony as to abundance. y
Professor Olson's scholarly, tho brief,
introduction, dealing with other moot
questions as we'll as that above shows
that he speaks with the authority OF
a very careful and thoro student and
that his opinion adds weight to the
view, that the Norsemen did not land
on soil that has since become Uncle
Sans.
In addition to the Morse narratives
In the book, there are the original
narratives Of the voyage Of Columbus
and John Cabot, edited by Edward
Gaylord Bourne, Phi. D., professor Of
history in Yale university with maps
and facsimile reproduction.
The English texts of both series of
narratives are taken from the earliest
editions, or those having the highest
historical value, and are produced
with literal exactness. The whole
series will, therefore, be of the high
est value to students of history, plac-
ing within easy reach original sources
Of historical material, which hereto
fore have been limited RI the few who
have had access to great libraries.
The series in general is under the
supervision of J. Franklin Jameson OF
the Carnegie Institute at Washing
ton, D. g., and is published by Charles
Scribner's Sons, New York.

horticulturist, and he has done more
important original work in that line
than any man out west except Bur-
bank. He has been professor of horti-
culture in the South Dakota Agricul-
tural College at Brookings for eleven
years. -
Professor Hansen tells an interest
ing story Of his experiences He says
that during his first exploration, nine
years ago, he followed the trail of
Alexander the Great into the center
of Asia and found that alfalfa had
held up that part of the world from
time immemorial, under conditions
similar to those that exist in the semi
arid regions of the United States.
Hence it was most important to
u.s." he said, "and / wanted toget seed
from as far north as possible. From
Tashkent, the capital Of Turkestan,
| began an overland journey of 1000
miles, 100 miles in wagon and 700
miles in sleigh, following alfalfa to
it's northern limits. ! got five car
loads of seed, sent them home to the
department, and they were distributed
over the arid and semi arid regions
to help in dry-farming. INTENDED to
continue the investigation, seeking
for the hardy legumes of central and
northern Asia, but the japanese war
came on and had to return home.
After the war started out again this
year and went up into Lapland and
through northern Sweden, tracing red
clover to it's northern limits and pick
ing up some valuable short-season
barleys. Then / went over into Fin
land and across Russia to Siberia, TAX
ing up the trail where ] had dropped
it on my previous visit.
81 found the northern limit Of clover
and alfalfa marked by an irregular
line crossing Siberia east and west
and varying from the cd to the Goth
degree of latitude. AS l went north
l discovered that the blue flower
alfalfa was replaced by a yellow
uOWeI alfalfa du CSII Idlu ldIIIuNC.
1t is pure native plant and the chief
fodder for cattle in that region.
found several new species of clover
as far north as the 50th degree of lati-
tude, growing profitably on the cold,
dry steppes, where the thermometer
runs down to 40 degrees below zero.
the seed is very scarce, but brought
home enought for fair test.
"Nobody can say that it will sue
ceed," said Professor Hansen in reply
to question, "but we believe it is
just the thing for the cold, dry regions
of our northwestern wheat-growing
region, and that it will prove profit
able crop to alternate with durum
wheat. 1t will endure any degree of
cold: it will flourish with the mini
mum rainfall of that region, and the
soil of our northern wheat belt is very
similar to that which it is accustomed
to in its native country. We are going
to extend the alfalfa belt as far north
as we can, and we hope that these
seeds will prove all that we expect OF
them. But there is no use in expect
ing too much. / would not risk my
