GEOLOGY OF GRAVINA
 ISLAND IN ALASKA A

Gravina Island, a small island in southeastern Alaska, has recently been examined geologically by Phillip S. Smith, of the United States Geological Survey, whose report has just been published as Professional Paper 95-H. Thirteen different kinds of rocks are described all of them millions of years old, and although the discussion and the conclusions concerning them are technical, they have distinct com mercial value when later research has determined the age or period in which the mineral deposits in this region were formed. It will then be possible by means of studies such as those on Gravina Island, to point out the rocks which are too new to have been in ex- istence at the time of the formation of the ore and which therefore form areas in which prospecting will be un- productive of results. A copy of the report may be obtained on application to the Director United States Geolo- gical Survey, Washington, D. c.

STERILIZATION OF DENTAL
 INSTRUMENTS IMPORTANT

The possibility of the transmission of disease through the medium of dental instruments has probably been considered by every occupant of the dentists chair. It constitutes one of the fears with which a patient is possessed the moment he adjusts him. self for his period of treatment. Au- thoritative instances of the convey ance of contagion in this manner are extremely rare, it's frequency not be- ing determinable, although few will deny the possibilities of occurrences of this character.
 The list of organisms which may contain dental instruments is formi- dable, but this does not mean that the diseases of which they are the causa- tives factors necessarily ensue if they are accidentally carried into the mouth. Their presence upon dental instruments is, however, an indication of what the surgeons call poor tech nique. In surgery poor technique is usually attended with disastrous re- suits, but in dentistry errors of this character may produce no i'll effects. In spite of this relative freedom from danger, dentists are determined that their methods shall equal the highest standards.
 Cleanliness should be the primary consideration in all dental operations. The white coat of the operator repre- sents more than comfort; it is the symbol of neatness. The dentist who works with unclean instruments, who provides soiled linen, or who places a common drinking glass before his patient, should be judged accordingly. Fortunately the members of the pro fession who do these things are crit icized and suffer from loss of patron age, so that there is strong tendency on the part of dentists to maintain their surroundings above reproach. w lIU tHc SltT1llI6tlOH Ol some carelessness may manifest it. self, partly owing to the fact that many instruments are injured by such processes, are too complicated to be treated in this manner, or that the public is not competent to detect er- TOTS of technique. However, the pub lie is rapidly learning the value of aseptic methods and the proper equip ment is now found in nearly all den- tai offices.
 Thorough studies of the steriliza- ton process have recently been made for dentists by the United States Public Health Service, at the request of various dental assoc a t i O n S throughout the country, and in a re- cent publication of what Service de- tailed information will be found as to the accepted methods for the sterili- zation of all dental instruments.

GREATER EFFICIENCY
 NEEDED ON FARMS
Many in Arkansas Receive No Profit From Their Labor Present System of Farming Brings Low Yields.

That many Arkansas farmers are not receiving any profit from their labor is shown by investigations made by A. D. McNair in Faulkner and Pope counties. The survey shows that the farmers income is small partly because the acreage of crops is so small that the labor of men and teams cannot be utilized to best advantage and partly because of low yields se- cured under the present system of farming.
 On 28 farms at Conway, Ark, he found that in 1914 receipts averaged $685. per farm, but when farm expen- ses were paid and 8 per cent interest allowed on the investment, the amount left to pay the farmer for his labor and management was $237 less than nothing. If cotton had been II cents a pound the farmer still would have lacked SIPS of having any income for his labor after expenses and interest were paid. In this accounting the value of the labor of the farmers wives and children at field work, amounting to $175 per farm, has been included in expenses.
 Eighteen farms at Atkins, Ark, averaged receipts of $661 per farm. Counting expenses and interest as aforementioned the farmer received for his labor and management an average income of $35 per year. If cotton had sold for Il cents per pound the Atkins farmers would have aver aged $191 year for their labor. The value of the labor of the wives and children at field work, averaged about $100 per family on these Atkins farms.
 At least nine-tenths of these farm CTS at Conway and Atkins are men who, in every normal year, feed them selves. Cotton occupied about one third of the cropped area on the Con- way farms and little more than two fifths of the cropped area on the At three-fifths, respectively, occupied by crops for feed and food.
 Animals Idle Too Much.
 "One serious weakness on both groups of farms is the small number of days that horses and mules work in year." says Mir. McNair. "On each group these work animals averaged less than 100 days of productive work apiece per year and only little more than 100 days even when nonproduc- tive work was included. This should be remedied by planning crop systems to utilize the time of men and teams which is now unused.
 "In addition to increasing the yield of crops the farms should be so reor- ganized as to keep men and teams busy throughout more of the year especially the teams. The Conway farmers averaged 44.2 acres of crops apiece and three work animals each, while the Atkins farmers averaged ASA acres of crops apiece and two and half work animals each.
 Many of our farms with small acreages will not permit the highest success under diversified farming, but farms having 90 to 100 acres of crop ped land with a third of this acreage occupied by double crops, or two crops per season, such as oats and peas, that use the labor of two regular men and four work animals can be operated with greater efficiency and more profit than the average farm as we now find it."
