ENTOMOLOGISTS AT. WORK.
TWO English Travellers Visit Station
Where Red Spider Investigation is
Going On.

Batesburg, Nov. 1S.-Mr. Mac
Gregor and Mr.. Mason, two Carnegie
scholarship students, visited the
Batesburg station where the red
spider investigations are being con-
quoted. These two men from Eng
land are touring the United States in
an effort to visit all the principal labo-
ratories where entomological projects
are under way. They reached Amer
lea in early July, and since that time
have traversed the width and breadth
Of the country.
The Carnegie scholarships are held
from the imperial bureau of en-.
tomology, which in England cor.
responds to the United States bureau
of entomology. The winning of these
scholarships is an honor conferred for
good work in the university studies
and quite naturally goes to men with
high chronological promise.
After visiting stations from Maine
to California and from Texas to Ten
nessee, Mr.. MacGregor and Mr.. Ma
son say that they are much Impress
ed with the advances that have been
made in economic entomology in this
country. They declare that the or
ganization of the American bureau is
much more elaborate and more COM
prehensive than that Of the imperial
bureau. Naturally they hope to get
ideas, then, from this country and
from what could be learned from
their discussion their journey has not
been in vain.
Upon returning to England, these
men will report to the imperial bu-
reau whereupon they will be assign
ed to work in some portion Of the
British domain. Some go to Egypt.
some to Africa and some to India.

:z. i.. OF. CLOVER. -
By H. l.. Bolley,

A good many people in North Da-
kota are asking, at the present time,
how to treat alfalfa seed so as to
cause the hard seeds to grow. In
most samples of northwestern grown
seed there are approximately Is to 20
per cent of seeds which are known to
be hard. They are perfectly viable,
live seeds, but for some reason do not
absorb water. We have been running
experiments in the seed laboratory
for a number Of years to ascertain
how to treat those seeds So as to
make them grow without hurting the
seeds that do grow. The work is not
hard to do but one must be careful in
doing it or he may burn his hands or
clothes with the acid: S 7&#E&s .ss& : IS =,
Place enough concentrated sulphuric
acid in a five gallon or other common
stone butter jar to cover the amount
of seed you wish to treat. Put: an
iron wire mesh screen, fine enough to
hold clover or alfalfa seed from so.
ing through over the top OF a second
Jar. When ready to do the work have
a wooden paddle in your hand. Poul
the clover or alfalfa seed into the sui
phuric acid. Stir it gently a few
times, just enough to be sure that the
acid gets on all the seeds. By the
watch, leave the seed in the solution
| five to ten minutes, not longer. Poul
!! the seed and acid through the screer
| Of the second jar. The seed shoult
remain on top Of the screen. Plunge
| the seed which is on the immediatel.
Into a large volume of cold water d

moving it from over the sulphur,

The building has been equipped with
an electric elevator, the only one in
Devils Lake, and a special electric
signal system especially designed for
hospitals, which will do away with
the ringing of bells which disturb
other patients. A complete ventilating
system has also been installed, duct
running from every room to a large
central duct where a large suction
fan is in operation.
The pathological and bacteriologi.
cal laboratory is in the basement.
This is equipped with modern appar.

in the state.
The forced circulation hot water
system is a feature of the building.
Hot water circulates through. pipes
constantly, and there is no waiting to

One feature of the General hospital
has been the nurses training school

the new hospital which will be met
with favor by all, is that it is open
