NORTHWEST LINES PILOT DE-
SIGNS TRAP FOR POLLEN
STUDY
Scientists Are Finding Out Many New
Things About Causes of Disease From
Specimens Trapped AS Planes Fly
Over Montana.

Northwest airliners flying over
Montana are not only carrying on
commercial work, they are aiding
in drive against one Of the most
annoying diseases ever to trouble
mankind-hay fever. Scientists and
baceteriologists have taken to the
air with special cOntraption and
before they're through they hope
to have the answer to many puzZ-
ling questions.
They already know plenty about hay
fever-know, for example. that this
disease of civilization Is steadily on
the increase. Now they want to do
High above the clouds between Chi
cago and Seattle, they are sharing
pollen. Specimens are being captured
by the billions. Before the scientists
are through they hope to know more
about the migratory habits Of pollen
and thus get on the right track for
new serumS and treatments
The answer cannot be found in one
place, they admit. 1t is, in fact, the
very difference between such states
as Minnesota and Wisconsin,, and Mon
tana and Washington, that makes this
scientific study SO important.
Principal weapon in the study is an
odd-looking device designed by George
Casey, chief mechanic for Northwest
M 4-LLSo, h444S-l ID N44OhA4 40 q PJlA(-4
trap The device is tubular in shape
and it is placed beside one OF the
cockpit windows on q Northwest Air
lines plane while the 21-paSSenger
Douglas transport is in flight. In a
slot is injected a glass slide, covered
with a gelatinOuS material. As the
device cuts down the terrific blast of
air, it begins to work.
The moderate flow over the glass
slide soon captures all kinds of pol
len and through these specimens the
scientists are making their laboratory
tests and studies. The medical leaders
would like to ascertain, among other
things, what pollens are found in high
er attitudes and also how far they can
be carried by the wind.
Tests this week revealed that pollen
begins to diminish at 5000 feet in
most areas of the United States COW
cred by the survey-With some cXcep-
tons. In the sections where ragweed,
Russian thistle and sage brush are
native the pollen sometimes drifts as
high as 10000 feet. However, it sell
dom carries any great distance and
this discovery has convinced medical
leaders that the treatment of hay
fever is more or less a local problem.
In charge Of the study being made
on the Northwest A!rllneS plane is

Of the nation-from coast to coast
They have been trying to determine
what effect. if any, lakes such as those
in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the
Great Lakes, have on pollen when
borne on strong winds. Their study will

And that's that golden rod is entitled

those who have insisted that it was
one of the worst offenders. Their find

hay fever sufferers as the worst crop

SIX VALLEY MEN
IN COOPERATIVE
FARM SECURITY GROUP SPON-
SORS VENTURE NEAR
NASHUA

Borrowing money TO purchase
land from the farm security ad-
ministration and securing old
buildings used while the Fort Peck
dam was being built for homes
and work units, six Valley county
men and their families are well
on their way OF cooperative
farming venture. BY next SDring,
if possible, they will be in active
production on 1856 acres OF land
near Nashua.
The cooperative farm plan has
taken several years to work. out but
such progress has been made that
and excavation for Easements will fol-
low The association has borrowed
$4,000 from the farm security, Sl9,35o
OF which was spent for purchase OF
the old Ben Durren tract OF lO34.9o
acres, five miles southwest OF Nashua.
Construction of homes and farm
buildings will cost Sl2,786 while irri-
CATION structures, ieveling, draining
and other development work on the
land will cost s23,lO0. The sum OF
S4664 has been set aside for con-
tngencieS.
Taking advantage of the sale of
houses and barracks at Fort Peck, the
cooperative purchased houses and
10 barracks. The houses have been
moved from Fort Peck, while the bar
racks were wrecked and the material
Will be used for barns, poultry houses
and other farm buildings.
The Durrell tract has been divided
INTO seven farm units, with COM
munity pasture Of 24995 acres on dry
dlVldual farm, varying in size from
IS to 156 acres. The original set of
Durrell buildings will house one fam
iily, six of the Fort Peck houses will
be used for homes and two will be
labor houses.
Farmers who are members Of the
Cooperative association and who will
include Melfcrd Kalstad of Glasgow,
Burton N. Davenport. Nashua; Walter
K. Newton, Glasgow; Harold S. Red
din, Wagner; E. Francis Rusher, Glas-
gov, and Frank Ferrin Nashua.
Total irrigable land before leveling,
draining or ditching is about 80 acres,
which is planted to alfalfa.
Improvement Of the land will re-
quire leveling of $50 acres, construc-
ton of So miles of irrigation ditch,
2.8 miles of drains, 2 miles of road
and bridges, exclusive of a large
humber of small irrigation structures.

Because OF the location, state Of de-

MICHELS GRASS

First presented to the public in !:
1887 Michel hybrid grass, a cross
between Mosida winter wheat and 4
large bunch of perennial rye H
grass, IS proving its worth as .
range grass and has fulfilled the /.
hope of its creator, C. A. Michels 4

it would be succulent, palatable 4
and have a high seed content and 4
durability, advices from Heglar

quantity, state.
In Michels grass is linked the good
qualities of both the wheat and wild
rye parent, the growers report. This
grass is a soil conserving crop and
IS recognized as such by the soil con-
Servation program. Here is a perennial
grass differing from most grasses in
that a stand is easily established in
the fall and good forage and seed
yields may be obtained the following
season, while on the other hand small
returns can be expected from such
grasses as crested wheat the first sea-
son. Michels grass makes excellent
early spring and late fall pasture.
Pasture and hay feeding trials have
proven that all classes Of livestock
relish this hybrid grass.

pertinent station workers in the diff
ferent sections of the United States,
Canada and Mexico by the University
of Idaho, college of agriculture. There
were also small lots of seed sent to
European countries, Africa and South
America"
In general the reports from both
fall and spring seedlings were definite
ly favorable. THE spring seedlings
were limited to a few paintings; how
ever, all co-operators reported that
while the plants did not produce seed
the first season, they produced an
abundance of green food throughout
the summer months. Some of the
drouth sections have reported ten
dency for the plants to burn during
the latter part of August, but recov-
cred after early rains in September,
while on the other hand the spring
paintings that were pastured during
summer also produced an abundance
of pasturing during the fall months"
The yields of seed per acre of fan
planting ranges from 20 to so bushels,
test weight of the seed varies from
81 to ST pounds per bushel. The 1899
seed yield was good, but it has been
