Thawing Winds Pave Way for Return of Spring
Bv UNITED PRESS
Spring finally decided to behave today, sending warm, thawing winds across the nation's snow-covered Midwest and Northeast.
But in the South and Southwest, farmers were still counting the multi-million dollar damage inflicted by the record-breaking storms and cold waves of spring's first week.
Known crop damage totalled at least $54 million and the final toll was expected to go much higher.
In addition, spring's cold, blizzards, wind storms, and floods had caused at least 82 deaths.
In the Southland, where, the entire peach crop was killed, some growers said flatly that they were ruined.
A Cornelia, Ga., orchardman, C. M. Miller, said "Not only have I lost this year's harvest, but my trees are dead. It would take 12 years to replace them."
Southern apple, pear, grape, plum,
watermelon and strawberry crops
were also hard hit. In Texas, officials
said the spring cold wave
would be known in history as the
"multi million dollar killer freeze."
Federal officials in Washington announced they were already conducting a damage survey which will clear the way for emergency loans to stricken Southern farmers.
The last of the big spring storms blew itself out in upper New York state and Canada yesterday, leaving mild weather over most of the country.
Parts of New York State got seven inches of new snow after drifts had already piled 14 feet high. In Canada, a two-day blizzard had killed eight persons, including an American husband-and-wife acrobatic team and their daughter.
Geology Professor Writes Research Paper on Fossils
Climaxing three years of research, Dr. H. A. Ireland, professor of geology has just completed a research paper on minute invertebrate fossil forms of Wabaunsee, Shawnee, Osage and Douglas counties in northeastern Kansas. $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
Dr. Ireland's work reaches back into geologic time to the Pennsylvanian age, in the late Paleozoic era, and extends the knowledge of the existence of some forms some 55 million years further toward the earth's beginnings.
Dr. Ireland calls the four-county region in which he worked "one of the finest displays of early invertebrate marine protozoan fossils in the world." He explains that few researchers in this particular field have worked in Kansas and that for two decades notung research-wise has been published on the subject. Prior to that time, the few publications dealt primarily with research done in Texas and Oklahoma.
The research has an economic value too, the KU paleontologist points out. Knowledge of the chronological occurrence of these microscopic forms of the remains of early life enables petroleum geologists to identify rock formations
sometimes as deep into the earth as four or five thousand feet. By this time they know in what type of formation the drill is working, and where this formation is likely to be in relation to an oil-producing layer.
Buildings-Grounds Moving Nursery
The department of building and grounds is moving the nursery from the area south of the fieldhouse to make way for the construction of two practice football fields and a baseball diamond, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent.
Stock from the area, which extends south almost to where 18th street would extend and west where it is even with the western edge of the fieldhouse is being placed at locations where it is needed on campus. The remainder of the stock is being removed to the school's nursery on the Bisante farm southwest of the city.
