University Will Fight Bugs With
New Machine-The state universltys
new weather manufacturing machine
has been set up in tight room built
especially for it in the basement OF
the Administration building at Uni
versity Farm. The machine, known
as Carriers ejector processing cabl-
net, consists of a refrigerator sys-
tenn, an electric heater, hydrostat
that controls the dew point OF the air
in the room, a thermostat that con-
trolls the ultimate temperature OF the
air. an air compressor and water res
ervoir.
Within given limits, maximum and
minimum temperature and moisture
conditions can be produced at Will In
the cabinet. The object is to deter
mine conditions under which insects
which infest the farmers grain bins
and the manufacturers and dealers
stored food products cannot exist.
DR.. R. N. Chapman, entomologist
and biologist, will be in charge OF this
weather making outfit. Practical use
will be made of it, he says, in deter
mining the minimum fatal tempera-
lures for granary weevils and other
insects. The length Of time and the
degree of temperature required to Kill
various inset pests will be worked out
as sub-zero weather is manufactured
within the little laboratory. Reliable
forecasts of what winter temperature
will do in destroying white grubs,
wireworms, cutworms and grasshop-
pers can also be prepared by use OF
the cabinet. Only a comparatively
few institutions in the country have
apparatus of this character so up-to
date and complete as has Minnesota.
d
Burberry Bee Makes Hit With
DIR. BalE-The barberry eradication
bee, another Minnesota idea, was
strongly Endorsed by DR.. Carleton r.
Ball, cerealist in charge in the bur-
eau of plant industry, Washington, d.
c., who came to University Farm re-
Gently while on western inspection
trip. Escorted by l.. w. Melander,
Minnesota state leader of barberry
eradication, DR.. Ball attended bee
near Red Wing.
az am convinced that the barberry
bee is valuable as means of secur-
ing cooperation among farmers and
extension and farm bureau people
and that it is an effective factor in
getting out barberry," said Dr. Ball.
cit is especially good also for pub
Lefty purposes. Minnesota has set an
example in this matter which other
states in the spring wheat belt would
do well to follow"
DIR. Ball came to the Minnesota
station to gather information as to
wheat breeding and stem rust inves-
LEGATIONS, and to look over the bar
berry situation. "The work in Min
nesota is in excellent shape, he
said. "The organization for fighting
the barberry and for plant breeding
work is not excelled anywhere.
DR.. Ball intimated that barberry
eradications were maintained.
