WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Hl-For
many practical advantages to agri-
culture, the bureau Of biological
survey is classifying the distinct
belts Of plant and animal life on the
North American continent. as affect
ed by latitude and altitude.
The old geographical divisions of
torrid, temperate, and frigid zones,
authorities say no longer are spe-
cific enough. There are seven nat
ural life zones spanning the CONT
nent in varying and fantastic shapes.
An understanding of these zones is
expected 10 result in a knowledge Of
the average climatic conditions Of
any part Of the country and the
adaptation Of certain crops and live
stock, or other industry, to natural
influences.
In agricultural regions it is often
important te know what fruits or
cereals or vegetables will give their
hest returns in a certain valley or
section OF the country where long
tests have not been made. With a
working knowledge az the zone IN
which he lives. the farmer can drop
the struggle against mediocre pro-
duction and turn his efforts to spe-
cies which. adapted, will have an ad-
vantage from the start.
The fact that the life zones are
not uniform belts across the contl-
nent is readily explained by the CT
fects on climate of varying attitudes,
slope exposure, ar the varying angie
Of the earth's surface toward or
away from the warming rays Of the
sun. varying degrees Of humidity.
prevailing winds, character of soil or
soil cover, and many other factors
which tend TO raise or lower the av-
esage temperature Of the ground
level. Change of altitude. or base
level. is the strongest modifying fac
tor and often carries a zone a thou
sand miles or more out of its normal
line. For that reason an arctic life
zone may be found far from the po-
lar regions, frequently on the sum
mits of high mountains even in the
tropics.
Borders OF the various life zones
cannot be set as clearcut boundaries.
They are only lines of average con-
ditions. All species overlap or inter
mingle along the borders, so that
only the predominance Of one set Of
species over another decides the 20
nal position Of any point along the
border. Ii Is necessary 10 depend
entirely upon the types OF plant and
animal life to define zone borders.
The primary life zones are from
south TO north. starting with the
tropical or frostless one In whI-h
there is excessively humid to ex-
tremely arid climates, a great varie-
ty of mammals, birds, reptiles and
insects as we'll as tropical crops and
fruits that will not thrive in colder
climates.
A broad belt across the southern
United States and Mexico. north Of
the tropical zone. is known as the
lower austral zone, defined by cotton.

New Flag Code
Distributed By
Local Bank Free

Time was when we looked upon
The flag as a beautiful piece OF
bunting, fic to be flung to the
breezes on February 22nd and the
Fourth OF July. But now, since that
flag again has been dipped IN hu-
man tears. drenched in human sor-
rows, and consecrated afresh oy
American blood. We look upon the
flag with a new devotion-the lnslg-
MIA of a nations hopes-the emblem
of freedom everywhere-a symbol
second only to the cross.
For the flag is a symbol, an out
ward sign of an inner principle. ara
il that for which it stands Is not

YOU have made them SO out Of your

Five years ago there was little
thought paid as to what the flag

how IL was TO be flung was a matter
Of little concern. Few people look
