State Foresters Experimenting with
Waste Sawdust.
Harrisburg, Pa., March 24.—During
the last fifteen years practically all
the larger chestnut trees in southern
“Pennsylvania have been killed by the
chestunt blight. With the utilization
of all the chestnut trees of commer-
cial size for staves, lath, and lumber,
there have resulted many big sawdust
piles. These sawdust piles contain
enormous - quantities of wood sub-
stance that were formerly burned or
left to rot.
This enormous wastage of wood
substance was called to the attention
of Prof. J. T. Auten of the State for-
‘est school, at Mont Alto, who with the
students in organic chemistry began
to develop means of using the saw-
‘dust. As a result of their investiga-
tions they have made a considerable
number of chemical products from the
sawdust. The products that have al-
ready been made are a sweeping com-
pound, tannin, nitro cellulose, artificial
silk, celluloid, colliodion, acetic acid,
acetone, methyl alcohol, ethyl alco-
hol, calcium acetate, chloralhydrate,
and insopropyl alcohol. All these
products are now on exhibition at the
State forest school at Mont Alto.
Dr. E. A. Ziegler, director of the
State forest school, says that as a re-
sult of chemical experiments “it may
be possible to develop methods of put-
ting to practical commercial use the
enormous quantities of sawdust waste
that is annually lost. We are just en-
tering an era of more intensive util-
ization of all forest products. Too
much wood substance is now being
wasted. Each year the work of the
organic chemist is playing a more im-
portant role in forest conservation
problems.”

A Cask that Floated for 25 Years.
Quite recently a cask was picked up
in the Arctic Ocean off Cape Bathurst
on the Canadian coast. The finders
did not think very much about the
cask at first but they had a surprise
when it was opened. Inside they
found papers which showed that it
had been set adrift in the Behring
Strait between Alaska and Siberia
just twenty-five years before. At this
time it was wished to prove the theo-
ry which had been suggested that
there was a great ocean current from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, entering
the Arctic Sea by the strait, washing
the northern shores of Canada and
Greenland, and flowing out into the
Atlantic between Greenland and
Spitzbergen. At the time no less than
thirty-four such casks were set adrift.
Only seven of this number have ever
been seen again. Two of the casks,
including the one just discovered,
were actually found in the Atlantic so
that it would seem that the theory of
a current flowing from the Pacific to
the Atlantic is correct.
Smallest and Largest Radio Sets
Exhibited. !
The smallest and largest radio sets
in the world were said to be on view
at a recent radio exhibition at New-
castle, England.
The smallest was a receiving set
mounted in a shirt-button, five-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter, and
was audible on a loud speaker nine
feet away. The other extreme took
the shape of a twenty-four tube set.

Prune Grape Vines for Best Results.
Bearing grape vines must be pruned
every year if a profitable yield is to
be secured.
This work is usually done while the
vines are still dormant, advises J. H.
Clark, instructor in fruit growing at
the New Jersey State College of Agri-
culture. “A heavy pruning is neces-
sary to stimulate vigorous wood
growth, to keep the plant within
bounds, and to leave only as many
buds as can produce good-sized clus-
ters.
“The amount of old wood left at the
pruning time should be no more than
is necessary to act as a support to the
producing canes. In the Kniffen sys-
tem of training, a single trunk ex-
tends to the top wire of the two-wire
trellis. Four vigorous, one year old
canes, a little above the average in
length and starting as near the trunk
as possible, are selected to produce the
crop. These should be so located that
one cane can be tied in each direction
along each wire. Each of these canes
is cut back to eight or ten buds, de-
pending on the vigor of the vine, mak-
ing a total of 32 to 40 buds on the en-
tire plant.
“This number of buds distributed
over four canes will produce more
fruit than the same number of buds
on sours, each bearing only two to
four buds. Since the canes which bear
fruit one year are removed the next,
some provision must be made for re-
newal. This is provided for by select-
ing four other canes as close as pos-
sible to where renewal canes will be
wanted a year later, and cutting them
back to spurs of two buds each. All
remaining canes are then removed en-
tirely.
“These recommendations can easily
be applied to other systems of train-
ing. The removal of as much old
wood as possible and keeping 30 to 40
buds on four or five one year old canes
to produce the crop are the essential
points.”

State College Properties.
Pennsylvania trails all other States
in the union in the per capita invest-
ment in the property of land grant
colleges according to figures supplied
by the Federal Education Bureau.
The Pennsylvania State College is the
only college in the State that is owned
by the Commonwealth, and its plant
at State College has a value of only
38 cents per inhabitant of the State.
All but three of the larger buildings
on the campus have been erected with
State funds. The entire campus and
| farms of 2000 acres with their build-
ings are valued at a little less than
$4,000,000. 8 -
Offsetting the 38 cent valuation in
Pennsylvania’s State-owned institu-
tion of higher learning is Nevada
heading the list of 48 States with
$11.55 valuation for each inhabitant
of the State. The neighboring State
of Delaware stands third with a per
capita investment of $7.97 for its
State university. Among the States
with State-owned colleges and univer-
sities valued at over $10,000,000 are
New. York, Minnesota, Iowa, Califor-
nia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, Illi-
nois and Ohiex- 3
Many States are awakening to the
value and service of their own higher
educational institutions and are using
the bond issue plan for increasing
their facilities. North Carolina has
doubled its university property value
in this manner during the past few
years. A bond issue of $8,000,000 is
proposed for buildings at Penn State
and favorable action by the voters of
Pennsylvania will enable the State to
greatly increase the standing of its
land grant college.
Grasshoppers Killed by Flies.
The State Agricultural College of
‘Montana has sent out this season a
large numbar of armies of sarcopha-
gous flies for the purpose of combat-
ing grasshoppers. This fly looks like
a very large house fly, but instead of
laying its eggs in decaying matter, it
deposits the young larvae in the bodies
of live creatures. Here the larvae
bore in, eat the flesh of the creature
and cause its death.
So numerous had the grasshoppers
become in the Montana grainfields,
that something had to be done and the
flies saved the crop last year. It is
thought that if the same method is
used for several years grasshoppers
will be practically exterminated.
This country has once before wit-
nessed the saving of crops by flies, al-
though it was not done under scien-
tific direction as:in the Montana case.
In 1881, there was a fearful outbreak
of army worms in Alabama. Every
kind of crop seemed doomed, but from
somewhere came a great army of ta-
china flies, of the same flesh-eating
family as the sarcophagidae, and kill-
ed off the worms.
Whatsoever action hath God for its
author hath God for its center. A cir-
cular line makes: its ending where it
had its beginning.

All-Round Family Doctor
Extinct.
Soon
The good, old family doctor, who
treated grandma and baby with entire
impartiality and knew all about croup
as well as angina pectoris, is becom-
ing an extinct species.
There is conflict in the American
Medical Association as to the cause,
but the fact is not disputed.
Dr. William A. Pusey, president of
the association says:
“Medical service is tobogganing to-
ward breakdown or revolution. The
increased number of medical gradu-
ates means no more to the ordinary
citizen than the increased output of
$10,000 automobiles.”
Inasmuch as preparation for the
medical profession costs 75 per cent.
more than for other professions, grad-
uates naturally prefer the better re-
warded career of specialists. There-
fore:
“The country doctor has vanished
and the family doctor in the cities will
vanish, too.”

——The bill of Senator Barr, of Al-
legheny, amending the school em-
ployees’ retirement law so that the
maximum teaching age of 62 years is
removed and credit is allowed for

CLEAN TEETH.
My dentist, apparently mindful of
Theodore Roosevelt’s suggestions that
every man should do something to
promote his profession, suggested that
I write an article on the advantage of
salesmen keeping their teeth clean
and in repair.
It is a pleasure to do this, because
it happens that just the other day a
salesman called to sell me a member-
ship in an automobile club, and his
teeth were so unsightly that I could
neither see nor think of anything else
while he was talking to me. I wanted
to run away.
Americans have the best preserved
teeth of any people in the world. In
England and on the continent it is an
uncommon sight to see any one, ex-
cept the very well-to-do, with a full
set of natural teeth. Teeth are pulled
on the slightest provocation.
Yet, even we do not pay enough at-
tention to our teeth.
Most of us go to dentists for fill-
ings, but the percentage of those who
visit the dentist regularly for exam-
ination and cleaning is far too low.
With apologies to my own dentist,
who is an active advocate for his pro-
fession, I think the dentists them-
selves are largely responsible for this
condition.
Most dentists are weak on sales-
manship and the ethics of the profes-
sion do not countenance advertising.
The real work of stimulating inter-
est in the teeth has been done by oral
hygiene societies, largely supported
by the contributions of laymen.
Aside from health—sound teeth be-
ing a vital factor in good health—-
teeth are probably the most notable
feature of the human face. In the
choice between a beautiful set of teeth
and a string of pearls a young woman
should not hesitate a moment. Dia-
monds and pearls are baubles compar-
ed to teeth.—Ex. ;

Along the State Roads.
It is most agreeable to the native
citizens as well as to the visiting tour-
ist to take notice of the fact that
Pennsylvania has undertaken an ad-
mirable plan for beautifying its public
roads, under the auspices of the State
Department of Highways, with the co-
operation of other departments.
Ugly cuts and unattractive fills are
to be clothed with hardy flowers and
shrubs. Local co-operation is invited,
and towns, villages and individuals to
do their part as the work proceeds.
In Erie county, for example, there is
going to be an extensive planting
along the roads this spring of wild
roses and ramblers, kutzu vines, bush
honeysuckle, forsythia, spires, shrub
dogwood, Japanese barberry, iris and
ornamental grasses of many kinds, in-
cluding white clover, alsike, blue hairy
vetch, purple alfalfa, Kentucky blue
grass and rye grass. ;
This is something that could be
done almost anywhere at small ex-
pense. It would be well worth the
cost and trouble for the artistic enjoy-
ment of the local residents and for the
good will it would bring them from
Yio ever-growing army of motor trav-
elers.

Dare Not Read English at this French
School.
Even newspapers printed in English
will not be read by students at The
Pennsylvania State College Institute
of French Education this summer, in
an effort to create a thoroughly
French atmosphere for those who at-
tend from all parts of the United
States. A New York paper printed in
French and carrying American news
will be supplied the students who are
not allowed to speak any language
but French from the time they reach
their rooms in the Varsity hall dormi-
tory.
The French Institute at Penn State
was launched last summer as an ex-
pansion of the French House idea that
has featured summer sessions at the
college for many years past under the
department of romance languages of
which Dr. I. L. Foster is the head.
The coming session for the institute
will start June 29 and close August 8.
A feature will be lectures in French
on Victor Hugo by Professor Edmond
Esteve, of the University of Nancy,
France, who is now at Harvard in the
capacity of an exchange professor.
His services were secured by Prof. H.
Py de Visme, director of the Insti-
ute. :

Hunters Fail to Report.
In checking over the returns from
hunters for the 1924 game season,
the State board of game commission-
ers find that considerably less than
half of the hunters who took out li-
censes have so far sent in their stubs
giving data on the amount of game
killed. These reports are necessary
so that data may be tabulated and
records compiled for the information
of the sportsmen, as well as the guid-
ance of the board of game commis-
sioners in their effort to render the
sportsmen the best service possible.
These reports are all due at the office
of the game commission on or before
June 1, whether any game was killed
or not.
Many of the sportsmen who have
not yet sent in their stubs killed no
game and are of the opinion that they
do not need to send in the stubs. Oth-
ers are holding their reports until the
close of the trapping season so that
they can add all vermin and fur-bear-
ing animals on the report. Every
sportsman’s organization should make
a special drive among the members of
their association to secure a one hun-
dred per cent. return of these reports
from the sportsmen of the State.
