IMSPEOT THE SOILS AND PLANTS Professors Interested In Conservation Make Interesting 8tudles of Conditions In Western Nebraska. During the latter part of the summer vacation four university professors, Condra and Bengston of the economic goology department, Pool of the bot any department nnd Barker of the astronomy department, spent several days studying the Bandhllls region ot Nebraska In the vicinity of Lakeside, Mullen, Seneca and Halsey. The studies wore made for the Nebraska conservation' commission, under the direction of tho chairman of that or ganization, Dr. Condra. Tho special object of this preliminary study wbb to gain Information concerning a more ecomonic utilization of the sandhill region. A great deal of data wns gathered relative to tho topography of tho country and its origin, the lakes and their utilization, tho dune sands and alkali boIIb and nil other matters studied to promote consorcatlon. The snndhlll portion of the state has thus far been studied very little. It occupies about 18,000 squnro miles of Nebraska land. It Is used very large ly for grazing now. Tho vnlley lnnds produce liny and pasturage. It Is be lieved that as a result of the prelim inary studies that tho native grasses of this district may be Improved, giv ing a larger return In animal food, ami certain species can bo adapted to bet ter hold In check tho drift sand. These are followed In turn by other incoming species which will produce pasturage of the greatest value. It is thought that a more careful manage ment of the region will result In less wind erosion, tho maintenance of a thicker covering of grasB nnd a better quality of pasturage than that which now maintains. Soil Studies. StudleB carried on by members of the conservation commission show that- the soIIb vary greatly in the re gion nnd are not all oqually well adapted to tho production of grass, hay and cereal crops. Professors from various departments of the university are now actively at work trying to bring about a Bolutlon of Nebrnska't greatest problem, a more economic use of the sandhills. In this way they or. assisting tht state without compen sation. One of the side trips of the field party was made to tho north and south forks of tho Dismal river, :i portion of the state not often visited by 'scientists. Hero numerous pnotus were taken to Illustrate tho river vnl ley, the waterfalls, of which there are llvo, nnd the tree growth nnd other vegetation of the valley and bordering slopes. One day was spent at the Dismal river forest reserve at Halsey. This project is under tho management nnd support of the federal government, and has for its main object I he for estlzntlon of the sandhills region. Thus far about 700 acres of sandhill land have been planted nt this place, with a fair degree of success. The tallest .trees hero have reached tho night of about twelve feet, end show up In markd contrast where the stand Is thick to tho prevailing grass cover ing the sandhill surfnee. Pooj's Plans. The professors collected numerous soil samples and specimen's of various sandhill plants. Professor Pool be came deeply Interested In the matter of sandhill .forage and as a result hat, signified his intention of making n detailed study of plant economy of tho region for the Nebraska conservation commission. Other problems of like nature are being studied' by univer sity professors. The party took their tents, slept' out In tho open, did nearly all their own cooking and did an enormous amount of walking, They returned with a thick coat of tan and cracked lips, ELECTRICAL ENGINEER MEET. A. I. E. E, Meets, Elects Officers and Discusses General Business. The . members of tho American In stitute of Electrical Engfners, Ne braska branch, met last evening in tho Mechanic Arts building.

BURKE TRACK TEAM CAPTAIN. Engineering 8tudent Elected to Head 1910 Cinder Path Men. A news item which happened early last Juno, but which has not been widely heralded among Nebraska stu dents, announces the election of J. R. Burke to head the Cornhusker track team for 1910. Burke was elected to succeed Dale McDonald as captain of tho track squad at Des Moines, Just after the track meet of the MlBBourl Valley schoolB which ended In defent for Nebraska by a bare three points. He will take charge of tho work with the opening of track' practice, and hopes to make a good showing next spring. The Nebraska team at Des Moines won second place among the schools entered and missed getting first choice bnly by a narrow margin. "Downright hard luck" is the way one of the men participating describes the work of the Cornhusker squad. Try Thornburg's Orchestra for your annual party. Second to none.
