WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Repre-
sentative Claude L'Engle, of Florida,
is o candidate for denomination to
Congress. He has prepared a lot of
literature, designed to attract the
Florida voters to his standard. He
has written a little poetry, an essay
or two, and has communicated these
literary efforts to his constituents in
the form of folders, leaflets and post
cards Mr. LEngle takes great pride
in a leafiet headed: "May-bees at an

Here is part of the "May-bees"

IN THICK OF BATTLE

One of the Utah people who have
come nearest the actual fighting in
Enrope is Edward C. Hunter, son of
Bishop Oscar +. Hunter of the 9Th
Ward, Salt Lake City, who was mis-
sionary in Tilsit, northeastern Prus-
STA. close to the Russian frontier. 1t
was through this section that the
Russians made their first raid into
Prussia and from which, later they
were driven out by the Germans with
heavy losses.
Elder Hunter was in the city OF
Tilsit when the Germans drove the
Russians out of it. He was in the
midst of the street fighting when a
bullet smashed brick in the wall

ed the battlefield on the outskirts OF
the town where the principal engage
ment took place, and where he Sc

SEED GERM|NAT0R

direction of DR.. Franklin S.
Harris and George Stewart of
the agronomy department of
the Utah Experiment station.
This new apparatus will enable
DR.. Harris and Mr.. Stewart to
advance the work in seed breed
ing in Utah three fold over the
present rate of increase.
This seed germinator, which
is worked on the same plan as
the incubator for Matching eggs
was discovered and planned by
a professor in the University of
Nevada. 1t has proved of ire
mendous success where it has
been tried out at large agricul-
tural colleges of America. DR..
Harris built the one now INSTALL
ed at the Utah Agricultural
College from the plans of the
originator, but improved on sew
eral points. DR.. Harris germin-
ator is one of the finest in the
country.
The purpose of the apparatus
is to determinate large seeds for
mother plants to increase the
productiveness of crops in the
state and west. There is ma
tionwide movement to increase
the productiveness of the land
by improving on the grade OF
seeds and at every experiment
station the agronomists are
working with that aim in view
From 300 to 400 seeds can
be terminated at one time in
the new apparatus and the work
will be lessened and the germin.
alton will take place several
weeks sooner than under the ole
method. The new apparatus
works automatically, keeping
the seeds at the same even tenn
perature and supplying an abur
dant amount of moisture tt
carry on the growth and devel
opment of the seed during its
termination.
An electric light is burned II
the bottom of the apparatus
which is constructed entirely o.
copper, and with glass doors il
front to allow an unobstructeC
vision of the development of thu
seeds inside. This light keep:
the temperature even and 6
generator makes it possible tt
raise and lower the heat: Thu
outside of the germinator is :
bailer which surrounds all sides
except the front. This is filled
with water to increase the mois
ture. A boiler at the top is fill
ed with water and a cloth is rul
from this boiler down into tn
germinator, supplying moisture
throughout the growth.
1t will take not more than
week to grow the seeds suffic
iently for the experimental pur
poses of the agronomists. Dur
| ing the winter thousands of ex
periments can be carried on ant
DR.. Harris hopes that by mean
of his new apparatus, he will b
able to produce some result!
from seed breeding at the Utal
Experiment station that wi
mean a big increase in crop pre-
ductiveness in Utah and tn
west.
