Presidents Proclamation Slat-
ed To Stimulate Interest
In u. S. Travel

Stimulated by the Presidents pro.
clamation calling on all people to
make 1910 Travel America Year,
widespread travel promotion efforts
are certain to lead to strong COM
petition for vacation expenditures
and assure motorists maximum re.
turns for their patronage of play
places and resorts in all sections.
This statement was made by Miss
Minnie A.. Payne, local manager Of
the Carolina Motor club on the
basis of a report from A.A.A. nation
al headquarters.
perhaps at no time since the
invention Of the automobile" said
Miss Payne, "has there been such
a coordinated plan to arouse greater
interest in travel. The Presidents
proclamation has provided a med
ium whereby all concerned with the
annual trek of va~cationists can
work with a common purpose. At
the same time, Canada, Mexico and
other countries on the Western
Hemisphere are making a bid for
vacation travel and have extended
official invitations to residents Of
the United States"
The A.A.A. club executive point
ed out that while winter travel to
Southern points was extremely
heavy at the start of the season, cold
weather throughout virtually all
part Of the East had a curtailing
effect.
This situation, she continued,
may have a decided influence in
increasing early spring travel. Thus
with the two fairs re-opening their
gates for second runs with new
impetus being given the travel
movement and with the outlook
favorable for better economic cor.
ditions, new records may be set for
travel in 1940."

Twenty Movies Will
Be Shown

On Monday, March 25th, from
1890 to Ills two pictures were
shown to both sections of the BIZ
ology class by Mr.. Crane and two
student helpers-Pat Barrett and
Gordon Ferguson. The first film was
on the termination of seeds and
the second was on the conservation
of wildlife.
Twenty pictures will be shown
between the present time and the
end of the school year." said Mr..
Crane, who is in charge of the ma
chine. He also stated that, addition
al to these, there are four or five
tentative films. From these tWen-
ty-five it is expected to have at
least one picture for each class.
Approximately ten boys, who are
interested in the work, were chosen
from the Juniors and underclass-
men. The reason for these being
chosen instead of a few seniors is
that they might learn to operate
the machine and be able to run the
machine without help next year and
in years to come. Each boy would
be assigned to operate the projec-
tor during one of his vacant Pc
RODS, and when ever picture was
to be shown during that certain
period, he would have charge of
the protector. Mike Shanahan was
at the school and gave the boys
some valuable information regard.

Foresters Stop Banquet
of Mice ON Seeded Areas

MISSOULA, March 18-Looking
to the saving of over million dol
lars in the cost of planting 100000
acres which stand in need of re-
forestation in Montana, northern
Idaho, and northeastern Washing
ton, a new method of protecting
field planted tree seeds from the
ravages of mice is being tried out,
it was stated today by DR.. c. S.
Schopmeyer, tree Psychologist in the
Northern Rocky Mountain Forest
and Range Experiment Station at
Missoula.
Three words, mouse menace
minimized, describes in brief the
status of our work on the new seed
ing method" said DR.. Schopmeyer
in discussing the work. THE sue
cess of the new method depends on
the use of poisonous coating for
seeds developed by the Control
Methods Laboratory of the U. S.
Biological Survey at Denver. Colo.
"Foresters have made many at
tempts in the past to grow trees
on denuded forest land by sowing
seeds, but rodents, especially the
White-footed field mice. ate the seeds
faster than foresters could sow
them. Hence, in present reforesta-
ton practice, the expensive process
of growing trees in a nursery and
then transplanting them to the field
is used
I'm the new method, poison coat
ing is applied to the seeds before
they are sown, as chocolate is APP
piled to peanuts. About 20 seeds
are soWn in spot, and spots are
spaced eight feet apart over the
area. Seeds are covered with about
one fourth inch of soil.
When mouse comes along and
digs into spot, he may eat two or
three poison-coated seeds, but no
more. Hence, enough seeds will be
left to produce crop of trees.

seeding with western white pine on

uloremio Found
In Dillon Areo

A mild epidemic of tularemia is
killing beaver in the Dillon area
according to State Game Warden
James A. Weaver. A dead beaver
found in that area was examined by
the state livestock sanitary board.
and was found to have been killed
by tularemia.
The disease previously had killed
beaver in the Hardin, Roundup and
White Sulphur Springs areas. The
disease usually attacks rabbits and
ground rodents. 1t is believed the
beaver are being attacked by or
ganisms in the water.
