Bee Improvement
Process Is Noted
MADISON. Wit. Feb. I—<U.R)—
Better bees can be developed througd
artificial breeding, according to
C. L. Farrar, in charge of the
North Central state bee culture
laboratory, operated by the fed-
eral department of agriculture and
University of Wisconsin on the
Wisconsin campus.
Artificial breeding. Farrar ex-
plained. can improve honeybee
stocks bv selecting outstanding
type drones to sire broods.
Recent improvements in the.
technique of artificial insemina-
tion. some ot which were worked
cut at the Madison laboratory
have overcome former disadvan-
tages in artificial breeding. Farrer
said that artificially bred queens
now compare favorably with nn-
tmally-mated ones in egg laying
survival and the yield of honey
from their colonies.
He believed that artficlal breed-
ing would not be widely used by
beekeepers because it Is difficut
and expensive. However, he pre-
dieted that beekeepers will be able
to get improved honeybee stocks
developed through artificial breed-
ing by federal and state labora-
tories.

Average Enlistee
CHICAGO, FEB. 1 —(U.R)—The
average GI enlistee in the post-war
army is 11 years old, a highschool
graduate and wants to toe assigned
to the European theater, according
to an Army survey.
He’s single, five feet eight, and
one-half Inches tall, weighs 150
pounds and appears to be a good
prospect for a happy marriage,
the army said.
But—he says, at least for the

likes to get around.
The survey showed that 33 per-
cent of the post-war enlistees have
had previous military service.
Sixty-six percent of those polled

Foremen at the Dawson mine
are enthusiastic over the machine,
one of which is in use there.
The invention is
to protect the operator from slate
falls. In fact, Brown claims the
only injury the operator can sus-
tain is from the machine itself,
and that is improbable, he said.
Brown said the machine will dig

shifts—the work of seven of the
