Moodie made fre- quent reference to the necessity and advisability of taking counsel with our learned men if the science of government is to progress as others are doing. The plain inference was that research and the development of knowledge would be as beneficial to government as to other business, Although it is not always immedi- ately apparent how theoretical knowl- edge can be applied, it is interesting to note some of the studies now un- der way in North Dakota which may, eventually, be of great social and eco- nomic benefit to the state. Information concerning them is contained in the School of Education Record, which lists graduate and other research work at the state university. Thus we find Prof. G. A. Abbott, in company with numerous others, prosecuting three studies, One re- lates to the chemical quality of the ground water of the Mississippi drain- ‘age basin, the other to the removal of fluorides from drinking waters and the third to the fluoride content of North Dakota waters. Most of us wouldn’t know a fluoride . 5.00 Greaiislts tetas ero 6.00! lation next year.

Bis- marek has used her fair share of new shingles. Experts from 10 to 14 states and Canadian provinces will gather at Fargo tomorrow to discuss ways of combatting the grasshopper infesta- tion, which has been a constant men- ace for the last three years, and to consider other agricultural problems. Data will be compiled showing the number of eggs laid in each district and the probable grasshopper popu- for discussion. Since the department the meeting has the endorsement of Secretary Wallace, it is probable that those in attendance will look toward Washington for help on that score. Canadians who will report on con- less look toward Ottawa or to appro- priations from their provincial gov- ernments. Preliminary reports indi- cate that the situation will be more serious in Canada this year than will be true of most of the states, All of which raises the question of man’s ability to deal with forces of nature such as insect pests. It can be definitely proved that arsenic mixed with bran or sawdust, will kill grasshoppers but we have been doing it on various scales for the last three years and the problem still is with us. ‘We could not foresee the crop fail- ure over most of this area last year, but if we had we could have saved & considerable part of the $2,354,000 spent in the control effort. Much of the poison purchased with this money was spread in this area and doubtless did some good, since the grasshopper population was ob- viously reduced, even though some unkind persons have hinted very strongly that they weren’t poisoned but merely starved to death, Tt isn’t yet Thanksgiving but the postoffice department already is send- ing out notices to buy and mail early for Ohristmas. It may be just Mr. Farley's way of getting himself men- tioned again, now that the elections are over, if we met one on the street, but we all know that water is one of the pressing problems of North Dakota. ‘We know, too, that if our water be- gins to taste bad or something hap- Pens to the supply, it is handy to have someone around who does know about it, Closely related to the Abbott studies are those of Prof. Howard E. Simp- son, state water geologist, who is con- tinuing his studies on the ground wa- ter resources of the Mississippi river basin. This may prove of prime im- Portance to farmers who experience difficulty in finding water supplies for their families and their stock, Such studies as those on activated carbon for North Dakota lignite, by Albert M. Cooley, and of North Da- kota Bentonite, by Conrad Ulmen, coupled with the recently completed study of the manufacture of insulat- ing varnish from Dakota lignite tar distillates, may easily lead to the es- tablishment of new industries or the further development of those already in existence. minerals will be of major benefit, but it might be profitably remembered that studies of no more seemingly Practical value have contributed enormously to the comfort and the Progress of mankind. delving into things even less likely to yield practical results, and cashed in heavily as a result.
