Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 29.—(?) —Making new kinds of animals by subjecting their parents to un- accustomed heat, new evidence that heat has been one of the causes of evolution by producing new kinds of creatures, was de- scribed Friday to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The new animals in this case are brand-new kinds of fruit flies, which have been born with char- acteristics not before found in their families, such as stub wings, smaller cyes and changed color of eyes and body. The new charac- teristics were produced by sub- jecting the parent flies to'a tem- perature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 to 30 hours, causing changes in the “genes” or here- dity-carriers of the parents that are passed on to their offspring. This experiment, believed to be a sample of evolution actually at work, was performed by Dr. Harold H. Plough, and Philip T. Ives of Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

G. N. D, A. estimated last sum- mer that this year's farm crops would exceed $100,000,000 in value, compared with $59,000,000 and $60,000,000 for the last two years respectively. This did not take into consideration the ap- proximately $20,000,000 which will be forthcoming as benefits to wheat, corn land hog growers. Receipts from pro- lduction of livestock and livestock products will easily bring the value of 1933 grain crops well over the hun- dred million mark predicted. “Reduced production over a year ago would make almost impossible any increase in outgoing freight car load- ings from North Dakota.

This shows an improved con- dition, the review declares, since the £3 failures in 1931 involved $1,618,235, and there were 57 in 1932 with liabil- ities of $829,562. At a time when many govern- mental units are almost prostrate for want of tax collections, North Da- kota was within one per cent of last Experiments on Flies Prove Heat Is Leading Factor in Evolution that heat, acting on the bodies of living creatures, has been one of the causes of the process of éevo- lution that many scientists agree has gradually developed the hu- man rac? from primitive one- celled animals, Heat helps along the process of evolution by producing changes in the germ cell, known as muta- tions, developing new types of creatures which in turn pass on their new characteristics’ to their offspring, Dr. Plough explained. Under conditions of nature, he be- lieves, heat might be expected to speed up the process of evolution by speeding up the production of new types of animals. He added, however, that Darwin’s old idea of natural selection and survival of the fittest is the chief directing force in evolution. If heat can produce new kinds of fruit flies in the laboratory, the same thing must happen under natural conditions, Dr. Plough be- eves. He used 400,000 files in the experiments, carrying some fly families through 10 generations. year's tax payment as of December I. A total of 58.11% of all 1932 taxes had been collected, as compared with an average for @ like date, since 1924, of 16 per cent. State Auditor Berta E. Baker shows more than 72 per cent of all 1931 levies paid by December 1 of this year. This record has been made in spite of rescinded penalties for delinquincy. Citing an angle of meritorius de- velopment which has occurred during the year, the G, N. D. A. shows that of the allowable 7,600 miles of state highway system, a total of 6,168 miles has been earth graded, of which 5,392 miles has been graveled. Work completed during 1933 totaled 1,707 miles. This is one of the few states in the nation which has been develop- ing a splendid highway system on a cash basis, with no state road bonds issued. As the system expands, how- ever, rising maintenance and re- Placement costs will have to be pro- vided to protect the monetary in- vestment and to provide easy and safe transportation. A minimum of $600,000 annually is viewed as a ne- cessity for regraveling. New car sales, volume of traffic, gasoline tax receipts and other business factors are largely determined by the type and extent of the highway system. _. _New Car Sales Up Up to December 1, the Commercial Service, Inc. Bismarck, computes new car sales in North Dakota at 5,135, as compared with only 3,920 a year ago. Trucks and busses showed a gain from 782 to 1,105 in the same Period. Although figures are not yet avail- able at Bismarck showing the exact reduction in total tax levies for 1933 as compared with 1932, it is estimated that a 10 per cent or greater cut will have been achieved. In spite of the lowered tax revenues to most sub- | divisions, the rural schools of North Dakota have carried on during 1933 with almost no abandonment of schedules. A. E. Thompson, sup- erintendent of public instruction, reports that on December 15, there were just 19 rural schools which were not operating. This is from a total of more than 4,000. No schools are known to be closed in in. corporated cities or towns. A magni- ficent loyalty is being demonstrated by some groups of teachers who are themselves taking up the financial slack in their school districts by ac- cae warrants, based on lower wage “An agricultural state must look to its junior farm clubs for an index of ‘confidence on the part of true farm families. H. E. Rilling, state club leader in North Dakota, produces fig- ures on enrollment in junior clubs which show 6,045 members, this win- ter, @ slight increase over the 6,026 in 1932, and just a small drop from the 6,467 who were registered in 1931. He also reports more inquiries on club work than in the average year. No diminution of interest in agriculture can ‘be possible when this situation obtains.” Bonk Debits Show Increasé Total bank deposits in North Da- kota as of the last call, October 25, stood at $59,845,412.51, only a minor drop from the $67,123,153.43 reported September 30 a year ogo. Deposits in state banks actually showed an in- shape. Debits to individual bank ac- counts in the 12 principal North Da- kota cities for the months of October and November this year show an in- crease of more than $500,000 over those of @ corresponding period a year ago, acording to federal reserve bank statements. cluded in the land bank district. This state also showed a smaller drop in farm sales compared with 1932 than Wisconsin or Michigan, with Minne- sota the only state showing an actua' increase. State on Accredited List With livestock, livestock products and dairy production occupying a growing importance within the state, it is extremely helpful to have the entire state placed on the accredited list with its herds. The state live- stock sanitary board announces that there is less than one-half of one per’ cent of TB reactors within the state, an enviable record for a state 80 young in beef and dairy cattle pro- duction. “North Dakota is proud, not of its record of production of volume of foodstuffs, but for the constantly rising quality of its grains and meat products,” the G. N. D. A. review con- cludes. “The International Hay and Grain Show at Chicago annually brings together, under severe com- petition, the finest quality products from this nation and from Canada. In recent years, producers from. this state have crowded all other visiting growers with wheat, corn, flax, clover, alfalfa and all other important classes. The show concluded December 9 this year witnessed the finest samples of grains ever assembled from North Dakota, with the result that growers from this state won more top hon- ors than ever before .
