Cruel Punishment

The knout was a whip used for
punishment in Russia and was in
'troduced during the reign Of Ivan
III in the Fifteenth century, says
Pathfinder Magazine. There were
several forms but the most familiar
kind consisted Of several thongs of
hide or leather plated and inter
woven with wire. Lacerations from
the loose ends Of the wire made 1t
a cruel form Of punishment and a
sentence Of 100 lashes upon the
bare back was usually the same as
q death penalty. ~

Reforestation Survey for Federal
Forests

A reforestation survey will get
under way in the very near future
on the Chippewa and Superior Ma
tional forests in Minnesota as a
preliminary step leading to the
largest planting operations ever un-
dertaken. DR.. H. L. Shirley, Of the
Lake Forest Experiment Station,
st. Paul, is a member Of the plant
ing board that will conduct the
survey.
1.-The Minnesota Department Of
Conservation is keenly interested
in this survey which will complete
a thorough review Of the entire re-
forestation policy and the techni-
que of nursery production and field
planting practice" e. v. Willard,
Commissioner of Conservation, said.
Planting on Minnesota National
Forests started soon after 1910 and
since that time much has been
learned as to planting sites, species
and age classes of stock, and the
best methods to handle the pro-
gram to secure adequate survival.
It is now planned to correlate all
of this information and to make
certain that only the best practices
are followed"

Duck Banding Shows Scope
of Migratory

That migratory waterfowl present
a national and even an internation-
al problem is emphasized by re-
port of duck banding operations
carried on by the Division of Game
and Fish at Thief Lake in North
western Minnesota. Erling Sven
son, Division Director, in making
the report, stressed the immediate
need of drastic action to adequate
ly protect the rapidly diminishing
species of migratory waterfowl.
"Of the 525 wild mallard ducks
we banded in October Of last year
at Thief Lake, we received reports
from 126 birds from widely separat-
ed sections of our country" Mr..
Swenson said. Minnesota report
ed only IS of these birds. From Il
hnois, % birds were reported, il
from Iowa, II from Missouri, Is
from Arkansas with scattered re-
ports from Indiana, Kansas, Louis
lana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ne
braska, North and South Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia.
During one week this spring dur
ing the north fight, we banded 1877
ducks at Thief Lake, 98 of which
were teal and II mallards. The bal
ance were baldplates, redheads and
blue bills" -
Banding operations are carried
on in cooperation with the United
States Bureau of Biological Survey
and all reports, received Of banded
ducks taken or found are sent to
Washington for compilation"

 Hollywood,-N Never ask a i'm star for more than photogra ph or his autograph-that is, never ask for more than that if you really want an answer to your let ter.
 Most of Hollywood's celebrities are very conscientious about an- swering their fan" letters, many even engaging secretaries because of the enormous amount of mail they receive daily. But as a rule the letters which make requests never are even answered.
 If you would like to know why, consider some of the things for which the screen stars are asked. Just before Carl Brisson left Eng land for Hollywood, his hat was stolen. Recently it was returned, cut in innumerable pieces, with a request to autograph and return them. You guess whether Carl complied.
 A young man recently wrote to Sylvia Sidney emunerating all his virtues and asking that she find him beautiful young actress who would support him for the rest of his life.

KING IGNORED
 TWO CANADIANS
DiscOverer of nsulin Treatment for Dia-

Toronto, ont (UP)-The second honor list to include Canadians after the long interval in which no recommendations were made to the, king by his Canadian advisers brought knighthoods of two dis tinguished natives of this country, --Dr Frederick c. Banting, dis coverer of the insulin treatment for diabetes and Dr Charles Ed ward Saunders, who added many millions to the wealth of Canada and the world through his dcvel- opment of Marquis wheat and also the Ruby, Reward and Garnet va rieties. Both are residents of To- ronto.
 Dr Banting gained fame throughout the world when he dis covered the insuin treatment in 1922 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1928. Sir Frederick, now is devoting his life to medical re- search ia the University of To- ronto.
 Sir Charles Saunders, after years of experiment, cross breed- ing and research gathered in 1903 the first head of what became l:nown as Marquis wheat. In a few years millions of acres of Mar uuis were planted, and the advent of this new species. with It's quali- ties of early ripcning, heavy yield nd fine milling, revolutioniZcd the wheat trade of the world. Sir Charles then was Dominion cereal fist. He retired in 1925.

SMALL FLIES
 ENDANCER DEER
"Nose Fly" Makes Sum- mer Home in Animals
 Air Passage

Lansing (UP)-A small fly with big title-Cephenomyis phobifer threatens to mako deer hunting less extensive in Michigan this fall.
 The insect, commonly called nose fiy." is found to make its summrc home in the air passages of the deer, thereby reducing the resistence of the animal to disease and often resulting in death itself through mechanical suffocation.
 pr Dan k. Coburn of the Michi- gan State Department of Agricul- ture presents the plight of the deer most clearly. He has just completed a study of the infesta- ton, which threatens to cut down tho deer population.
 The insect, Dr Boburn points out deposits It's eggs during the spring and summer months in the nose of the deer. The eggs hatch into minute, worm-like larvae. which crawl into the nasal pas sages of the animal, where they spend the winter in the larval stage of their life-cycle.
 Then some time during the fol- lowing summer the larvae drop out of the nose, crawl onto the ground, pupate and emerge as an adult fly.
 As many as 10S individual lar vac in various stages of develop ment have been taken from the nasal cavities and throat of deer by Dr Coburn.
