ERUPTIONS FOR
THE SCIENTISTS

1t was believed Mount Bavloff on the
southwestern Alaskan mainland, also
had spouted, as the snow about the
summit was ceal black.
When the party Of scientists left
Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to
the Katmai country, they said they be.
lieved there was little likelihood Of an
eruption this summer and declared
they were certain there was absolutely
no danger attached to the investlga-
ton. Katmais last big "blowofr' was
in June, 1912.
The party of twenty-six scientists Is
headed by. Professor Robert A. Griggs
Of the University Of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie institute. They
were planning to make observations
Of the botanical, biological and geo
logical effects Of the 1912 eruption.
In 1913 Professor Griggs headed a
party of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that near Katmai lay great
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands Of mouths vomiting gray
vapory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named 1.-THE Valley Of
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead of
10000, K is said there are literally
millions Of smoking vents.
Congress recently set aside "The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property, and 1t is believed
that some day 1t will be second Vel

springs, It is said, will eventually take

The Farmers Advertising

The department of journalism at
South Dakota State college wrote near
ly 100 farmers asking their experience
with advertising.
One replied that advertising of seed
grain had been so successful that next
year a new granary was to be built, a
new truck bought, and equipment for
cleaning and handling grain added.
Another replied that his success in
selling little pigs had been so great
through local papers that he had been
unable to meet the demand.
A third replied that a small ad in the
county-seat paper sold all his settings
Of eggs.
