| UNFAIR TO GRODM An important step towards the so- ution ‘of the great: problem of. re- claiming Minnesota’s 7,000,000 acres of surface of the state, has bean taken by the Minnesota Department of Agri- culture. in: the publication of a bul- Jetin on “Agricultural A Value and Reclamation /of Minnesota’s ' Peat Bolls,” by F. J. Alway, chiec of the department’s division of solls. | The . bulletin says, frankly that many misconceptions as to Minneso- ta's peat: lands: and the methods of making them productive have existed and that as a result great sums of money have been spent in digging ditches on the strength of the prev- shing bellef that ~drainage would ‘make such lands productive. By such drainage the land has often. been made so dry that they now produce ittle or no hay whereas they were once. useful -for that purpose. Fur- thermore, being extremely dry, they sometimes become seats of fires.and .mources of great danger’to settlers, i" The author believes, on the basis - of. European experience, that peat 1ands are eminently adapted for tame meadows. and pastures, but are un- promising for forestry. He says they have also been shown to be able to groduce good crops of vegetables, for- age andgrains where the climate per- mits.. The -use of bogs for agricul- ture tends to hasten their develop- ment for industrial purposes, such as the manufacture of fuel, power gas, charcoal, stable litter and even pa- per and textiles. Drainage, however, is the first es- sential in reclaiming such soils, but steps in this direction should be taken with caution until those who wish to develop the lands have satisfied them- selves by systematic investigations and small scale trials that reclama- tion will prove profitable. The author further discusses the desirability of burning the. surface layer on peat bogs, the method of farming, required cost of reclamation and the possibility of simple fleld tests, along with many of the other subordinate problems. ¥ Coples of the bulletin may be had by addressing Oftice of Publications, University Farm, Paul. EARLIEST OF ENGLISH COINS "Gelden Solidus, Still in Existence; le Believed to Belong to Year 421 A.D, ‘The golden solidus of Scan Omodhy .8 the earliest English coin in exist- ance, estimated to belong to the year €21 A. D. by -Alfred Anscombe, F. R. H. 8, at a meetipg of the British Numismatic soclety. He expressed the spinion that the coln had been struck . %o _commemorate the victory that the Alemannic: Prince, Scan, duke of Cair Benet, or Winchester, won over the : Saxon invaders of Britain In the six- teenth year after that in which the comet of A. D, 443 was seen—namely, in A. D. 459. Scan was the official chief of ten provinclial kings in south- ern Britain. In the “Merlin” he was called “Duke Escam.” In the “Morte d’Arthur” he was called “Duke Bu- . stance.” ' Wolfram von Eschenbach, circa 1210, said he was slain by Orilus, lord of Cumberland. The folk name Omodh, genftive plural’ Omodhu, Mr. Anscombe identi- fled " with -the' Amothingas of “Wid- sith.” Their homeland lay mnear Shrewsbury, and to this day that town is known: by the Welsh as “Caer Amwythig.” . Snakes Friends of Farner. A correspondent who. is Intere-ted in snakes as well as flowers and b’rds and the orher more popular thingd in nature writes that he has gratifiing success In locating snakes by ‘melely lstening for their ‘rustling in the dry leaves.
