CURWOOD SAYS CREATURES
or WILDS HAVE NOT ONLY
MINDS But ALSO REASON
Famous Author Cites Own Experience
to Bach Up Astonishing Claim
Which Shocks "Nature Scientists

James oliver Curwood. author of
'Kazan.' the thrilling story of the
Canadian North. which comes to. the
Casino Theatre Saturday, declares
that his experience has satisfied him
that wild animals not only possess
minds, but also reason. In making
this startling claim he says:
The fact that wild animal action
which appears in my screen stories Of
God Country are free from the cam
outage and trickery which usually
make up ninety per cent of animal ac-
ton on the screen, does not neces-
sarily mean that / have discovered
what other naturalists have failed TO
find. II simply means that / have
taken advantage Of what nature
scientists speak OF as the psychology
OF the animal mind. In all OF my
writings. whether for magazine, book
or screen, | have worked from the
truth learned through my own en-
Eeriences that many wild animals
possess not only minds. but also rea .
son. This will shock some nature
scientists of the old school. whose
egOism will not allow them to concede
that any living creature except man
possesses reason. The line between
instinct and reason is very family
drawn; the two overlap; so much so
that very frequently animal instinct
is far superior to mans so-called
reason, and | have more than once
seen this instinct in wild animals de-
voloped to point where had those
animals by some miracle been given
our own language, they would have
Leen conceded human.

BRIDGE GRATING WILL SAVE
TREES GIRDLED BY RODENTS

Numerous inquiries are received
at the United States Department OF
Agriculture every spring in regard
TO the treatment OF fruit trees. IS
pecially apple trees. that have been
girdled or otherwise injured during
the winter by mice and rabbits
While there are various ways in
which slight injuries of this charac
ter may be treated, il any attention
seems advisable, wounds which cir
die Or nearly girdle the trunk re
quire more specific measures if the
tree is to be saved. In such cases
bridge grating is the method OF
treatment commonly employed; in
fact, il rs about the only remedy
that can be recommended.
A bridge graft is made by using
scions OF small limbs to connect the
two portions of the bark OF a stock
which have been separated by an
injury; in other words, the injured
area is "bridged" by scion or
scions. the ends OF which unite
with the uninjured parts above and
below the wound in such manner
that a connection between the It's.
sues is established.
Bridge grating may be used sue
cessfully on almost any kind OF
fruit tree that admits of being read
lily propagated by grating. In prao
tice there is occasion TO resort to
it very much more frequently with
the apple than with any other fruit
hut pear trees are often treated al
least in some sections. No reason is
apparent why the method should
not be successful on plums and cher
ries. Peaches graft less readily than
the other trees mentioned, and
there may be some question as TO
the usefulness OF the method in the
case of this fruit. Bridge grating
is seldom used on shade or other |
ornamental trees, but with some
kinds it would probably prove sue |
cessful in overcoming certain types |
OF injuries.
The injuries which can be over |
come or lessened by bridge grating !
are always local in character and !

PLANTS IMMUNE TO DODDER
ADVISABLE FOR NEW LAND

The necessity OF selecting plants
immune to dodder infestation when
cultivating newly-cleared land was
emphasized by report which recent
ly reached the United States lie
partmena Of Agriculture concerning
the destruction of an entire field o.
eggplant on a newly-Cleared field IN
Pennsylvania So bad was the IN
fctstation that not a single fruit
was formed on the parasitized plant
and the entire field was destroyed
The dodder was determined as haz
81 dodder, a species not uncommon
on hazel and other wild shrubs and
on tick treofoil and other wild herbs,
but never previously reported on
cultivated plants. The department
recommends that on land known to
contain the seeds of dodder, farm
ers should use plants which are i'm
mune to attacks of the pest. The fol
lowing plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder; corn, soy
beans, velvet beans, cowpeas. and
small grains such as oats, wheat
and rye Potatoes and buck wheat
crops commonly used ON newly
cleared land, are not very likely to
be injury by dodder. but truck crops
should not be planted on land
known to contain dodder seeds.
