Peat Is Used in Place of
Cotton Surgical Dressing

Peat is so antiseptic and absorbent
that 1t is used as a dressing for
wounds, and is an excellent substitute
for medicated cotton. This fact was
recognized many years ago in Europe,
where sphagnum peat is now extern
sively used in preparing surgical
dressings. According to a scientist
who has made detailed study of peat
deposits in the northern United States.
there are many square miles of sphag-
mum bog in the northern counties of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
that would supply material suitable
for antiseptic applications. 1t will not
be necessary to incur the expense of
deep excavation, for immense quanti-
ties Of sphagnum can be taken from
the upper parts of the deposits. Sphag-
mum peat is also abundant in Maine,
and some is found in New York and
Pennsylvania.

Sodium FIuorid Found to Be
Most Effective Substance to
Kill the Bothersome Reaches

Government entOmolOgists, by study
Of the habits Of reaches. have found
that these insects frequently cleanse
their legs and antennae when any dirt
or powder comes in contact with these
appendages. These are at once drawn
through the mouth parts Of the insects
and in this way cleaned. AS result,
certain amount of any powdered
substance applied directly to a roach
or through which 1t may crawl is taken
into the mouth and presently, wheth-
er distasteful or not, finds its way
into the stomach. Therefore it is not
necessary to mix stomach poison in
powdered form. with an attractive bait,
since the chances are much greater
that the poison will reach the stomach
through its habit of cleansing itself
than through the eating of poison
bait.
Sodium fluorid, according to the
United States department of agricul-
tire, was found to be the most rapid |
killer Of reaches Of all the substances
tested. Pyrethrum powder. pure,
killed practically all reaches within
4S hours, but its effectiveness was
greatly reduced when slightly diluted.
BOrax was found to be very slow and
was only partially effective in kitch-
en- tests. Thirty-eight miscellaneous
materials were found to be ineffective.

Alaska College VIII! Tram
Its Graduates to Develop
Agriculture and Minino

The new Alaska Agricultural college,
and School Of Mines under construc.
ton at Fairbanks, Alaska, about 100
miles from the arctic circle. will train
Its graduates to help develop Alaska
along its two main lines-agriculture
ana mining. Authorities assert This
northern soil holds big things in both
food and metals.
Both United States government and
Alaska territorial funds are being used
by the college. Congress, in 1915. des-
lgnated site for the school and SET
aside agricultural and mining lands in
the Tanama valley for the support of
the institution. Legislature voted 500
OoO for the construction and purchase
OF equipment. An annual cOngressiOn-
al appropriation of $4,000 is expected
TO help maintain the school.
The Fairbanks United States gov
eminent agricultural station, now To-
Gated on the college site. will become
part of the new institution and will
continue to draw its revenue or SUD-
port from the federal government.
The site is high on a hill overlook
ing the city of Fairbanks, the Tanana
river and the railroad the United
states government is building between
Seward and Fairbanks.

Plan on Foot to Reclaim
Dismal Swamp, Picturesque
Haunt of the NaturaIists

Dismal swamp, which lies just south
of Norfolk, Va, partly in that state
and partly in North Carolina, is one of
the most picturesque wildernesses in
the eastern United States. Although
it may be reached from the busy port
Of Norfolk within a few hours by a
boat which plies daily up and down
small canal, the Dismal swamp re-
mains an unspoiled wilderness where
black bears and panthers still roam,
while the smaller creatures of the wild
exist in abundance.
The thick jungles and bottomless
boys at once offer perfect hiding
places for the wild things and OBJ
stacles to the hunter which are often
impossible. Then, too, the swamp is
alive with snakes-the deadly copper
head and moccasin being especially
abundant-and this fact alone detracts
considerably from tie popularity of
the place as pleasure resort.
1t is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light OF naturalists and scientists Of all
kinds, who here find what they most
primitive nature.
The Dismal swamp has great posi-
)ilities of future usefulness. In the |
irst place, it contains some Of the
deepest and richest deposits of peat
n the United States, and this fuel is
to be used in this coun-
ry in the near future. Furthermore,
Engineers say that the swamp can be
trained, and that it will then become
me of the richest bits of farm land in
America. Indeed, one man has al
eady demonstrated this by draining
few hundred acres Of the swamp and
aising phenomenal crops on it.
