Clean-up of Inaect Peats Now
Clemson College, March 19.?Final
.'inter clean-up work against hiberiating
insects in the garden, orhard
and field rs timely now, says
'rofessor Franklin Sherman, Entonologist.
"In and around the garden all
Id vines and stalks of last-year's
rops should be disposed of," Prof,
iherinan explains. "It would have
een better had they been spaded
nder last fall when green so as
a decompose, but now those which
re coarse and dry would perhaps
tetter be burned. In the orchard
he old, rough, loose bark on the trees
nay be scraped off and burned to;ether
with the faulty limbs removed
n the late winter pruning. In the
ield the ditch-banks and terraces
may be burned over to kill bollweevils
and other hibernating insect'i.
"Let it be plainly understood,"
says Mr. Sherman, "that we do not.
advise, and we do warn against anv
general burning of woods and fields^"
Our soils in general are deficient in
vegetable matter, and we need our
timber. Therefore, we have never
advised general burning of fields or
woods; we believe it to be destructive
rather than helpful."

IJJRDB ARRIVE FROM SOL'TH
SprinK Migration is Btarting Clrinson
('ollegr Man Reminds Us to Notice
Clemson College, March H.?Ihiring
March wc art* due to see the first
striking evidence of the northward
spring migration of the birds, end"
Prof. Franklin Sherman, zoologist
and ent mio! >gist at <Memaon College,
encourage." all who are interested in
birds to n..(ire their coining.
At Clemson College, the meadow
lark arid the robin have been common
on the lampUH hill for several days
and are in-ginning to sing, whereas
through the middle of winter they
stay more in the lower meadows and
in thicket.", along streams, singing
hut little .f at all. These two birds
are more common now than they will
he during .-ummer, for most of them
go north to nest. Hut the number
of them that nest in this locality is
increasing in recent years.
Blackbirds are now in considerable
(locks, mostly of the "red-wing"
species, but other species are o?casionally
found with them. The
cowhird, a social outcast ampng
birds because it makes no nest of its
own hut lays its eggs in nests of
other birds, is due to appear in the
Piedmont about now. It winters
along our "coast, but not inland. The
friendly chirpping sparrow should
I soon appear. The great host of
brightly-colored warblers, however,
will not arrive until April.
While no one should kill our migratory
birds, yet sometimes dead or
fatally injured specimens are found.
Any such that may be sent to Prof.
Sherman in fresh condition he will
gladly identify and inform the sender
regarding their habits. Farmers
and hunters are reminded that hawks
and owls of every kind are wanted
for the college collectively. While
the specimens received during the
i past two years have helped nicely,
many kinds and counties are not yet
( represented. The specimens are used
iti educational work.

DOCTOR
Cell Activity Forces Blood in
System, He Says. ...
Berlin.?prof. Muriln Mciidelnchii
wlio iuiH occupied ilie < Imlr of'dlseuses
of the heart In lUilin university since
Ihtnr. It 11 *4 put forward llie extraordinary
theory (htil the heurt Is not llie
prime power for life hut as hii organ
play* only s secondary purl. His theory
Ih ihui the activity of ths fell* of
the hotly. In absorbing iiiol el i in I tit* t i 11 yt
fluid*. const it ute the chief motive
power in forcing the blood through the
ystem.
In support of hie theory I mclor Men
delstihii en 11? Hlteiilloii to the fact that
ninny persons with exceedingly weak
heart* continue to live, although In
these particular cases It Is Impossible
to believe thut their hearts can pump
the blood through the hddy.
Professor Mendelsohn first pro ?
pounded his theory in the new medical
weekly. Die Medl/.ihlsche //ell, in a recently
published article, which subsequently
wus taken up by Alfred Kerr
of the Berliner Tagehlutt. An elabo
rate discourse on the subject Is being
prepured try Doctor Mendelsohn for
an early meeting of the medical so
clety.
The autiior of this new theory contends
that "tiie human body's motive
power is represented by the cellular
activity of- the glands and skin In ab
sorbing and excreting liquids which
furnish the requisite fuel for the human
motor, whereas the heart and
blood circulation merely pluy a regulative
role In distributing such fuel
and resulting refuse to und from the
various motors throughout the body, ""
namely, the internal, glandular und
epidermic cells."
Doctor Mendelsohn says that this
explains many cases of the burial of
persons apparently dead, and he
argues that other tests besides cessation
of the heart beat are necessury
to establish true death.
Special Outfit Saves
Fallen Totem Poles
Vancouver. B. C.?The dominion government
totem pole preservation outfit
has arrived at Skeena Crossing, B. '
C? with a flat car load of hoisting
gear including the huge derrick used
for erecting fallen poles. This gear
came from the totem pole village of
Kltwonga. where the government work
of totem pole preservation wus carried
on during the last two seasons
to the great Interest of the tourists
who are allowed to walk through the
Githsan Indian village while the
trains stop for water.
This year the work of totem pole
preservation will be carried on at
Gytsegyuela, a village about a inlle
below Skeena Crossing, where there
are 18 huge totem poles close to the
river bank plainly seen from the railroad
car windows for over half a mile
on the opposite side of the Skeena
river.
The northern end of the Pacific
highway Is at present within four
miles of Gytsegyuela so that automobile
parties from runny parts of the
I nlted States can r.nw come close to
this remarkable collection of totem "
poles nnd In a rew wbeks the road
gang will resume work on the highway
and push It on past Skeenn Crossing.
Gytsegyuela and well toward Kltwnngn
during the present season.
