FEW OF STATES PLANTS
AND FLOWERS ARE NATIVE

A very small per cent of North Da-
kota's flowers are native to the state,
according to DR.. Melvin r. Gilmore,
curator Of the North Dakota Histori-
cal society, who has made a constant
study Of the fora Of the state North
Dakota's flowers bloom in three diff
ferent zones or regions Of plant life
OF latitude and longitude.
ut was found that the number Of
species Of plants native to North Da-
kota, is small, as compared with the
number Of species found in other
states. This effect is probably due to
the close similarity of biological co.,
ditions found over the entire region.
"Of the present plant population of
the state it is estimated by Prof. o. A,
Stevens that 35 per cent is Of eastern
native origin, 40 per cent of native
western origin and 16 per cent of alien

TALLY registered. There are addi-

there. The Dornitory also is filled
to more than capacity and many ad-
ditional students are securing board
there, either in the dining room or
in the cafeteria. Mrs. Trevarthan
has arranged to open the cafeteria
for supper as we'll as for the noon

That he'd just begun to fight.
