100 From Over Nation Attend Annual
Beekeepers' Meeting at Ag College
One hundred individuals from
all over the nation attended the
annual summer meeting of the
national federation of bee-keepers'
committee on honey and pol
ler plants held at the Ag college
this week.
They were interested in the de
velopment of uses for plants of a
high nectar yield. Nebraska has
the record of producing more
honey per colony than any other
state.
A. E. Schwarting of the col
lege of pharmacy told of the ex
panding use of volatile oils from
such plants as mint and the use
of levulose sugar from Jeru
salem artichoke. Both plants are
highly desirable as honey pro
ducers. Saf flower, about a thou

being grown in Nebraska, was

Charles J. Armstrong, dean of
administration.
Those P's do not mean "poor,"
or even simply "passing. Nor are
they equal to the former ts ana
D's. "Thev cannot be compared,
Dr. Armstrong said. "What the
college has done is to adopt a
completely new approach to the
whole svstem of grading, ana
any effort to equate the new sys
tem and the old runs into trouble.
"The new grade P is not just
a new name. It is good toward
graduation at face value, where
as the old D was not good enough
in quality and had to be offset
by at least B's."
He added that the college will
retain all its standards, and noted
at the same time that these bene
fits are expected to accrue: Help
keep students off probation; per
haps even prevent their being
dropped from college; and it will
mean they will not have to work
hardest during the senior year to
bring a cumulative average up
to the old 2.0 graduation level

through earlier and collected D's

The boy's room is finibhed with a rough textured,
durable, masculine look, ready to house the hobbies
of a growing boy. The Studivan Bed is covered in
a textured cotton and toss pillows match the striped
crash draperies. The desk, chair, and bookcase
are Oakmaster blond wood that stands out against
the tufted green rug.
This and the many other rooms decorated by Miller's await your
inspection at Inspiration House in Kimballcrest. You'll see a new
use of color and light devoted to better Nebraska living.

ages, like the Dodo bird, have
vanished.
And here's why the college ex
pects its standards to stay up:
The new grade P means work
regarded as "sufficiently high
quality to count toward gardua
tion." The letter P will mean the
student has done more than "just
got by" (often the definition of
the D grade), for it will be given
when the teacher regards the stu
dent's work ot sufficient merit to
count toward a college diploma,
but is not of A or B quality.
In the future some of the D's
a student has been collecting will
be worth a P and some, alas, will
be traded for the foolish F. Fur
thermore, because his P-grades
are good for a diploma he won't
go on probation unless he has
tailed for any semester more than
oie-fourth of his work.

described as producing a nectar
yield two to three times that of
alfalfa.
However, R. B. Wilson, New
York, chairman of the commitee
said, "we're shooting in the dark
as far as anything definite on
nectar secretion is concerned."
Carl E. Classen of the university
farm chemurgy department, de
scribed bow his department is
working on the adaptation and
commercial use plants which
produce a good yield of good
honey.
The search which constantly
extends thruout the world for
honey producing plants was de
scribed by Frank C. Pellett of
the American Bee Journal who
operates a test garden at Atlan
tic, la. He told of the discovery
in eastern Germany of a species
of blaok locust which blooms
all summer and thus furnishes
a long season of nectar produc
tion. Speakers from the University
of Nebraska, who appeared on
the afternoon program, were F.
D. Keim, department of agron
omy; G. T. Webster, sweet clover
investigations, and Hugo Grau
mann, alfalfa investigations.
Ephriam Hixson and C. A. Sooter
of the department og entomology
spoke on the control of injurious
insects in legume crops.
Sooter told the beekeepers that
the sweet clover weevil is posing
a perplexing problem for the
honey industry. In only a few
fields has the damage in Ne
braska been severe. He told, how
ever, of a 70 acre field in Lan
caster county completely destroyed.
