Botany Faculty Studies Algae And Fungi Of Pleistocene Bog In Eastern Kansas
A unique Kansas bog area dating back at least to 2500 B.C. is the present research project of botany department members. This bog, two miles south of Muscatot in Atchison county, contains rare algae groups and several species of fungi which have not been described before.
Frank Emerson, assistant instructor in botany, is writing his master's
Like Walking On Cushions
Frank Emerson, assistant instruct thesis on the fungi of the area. He believes that the bog was formed by a biological fault in the Pleistocene epoch.
Since then plant matter has filled up an area from 15 to 54 yards wide and 274 yards long. It is at least 35 feet deep and rises seven feet above the surrounding ground. The thick mass of plant material gives one the sensation of walking on cushions or springs.
Mr. Emerson has found at least one species of fungi which has not been previously reported in the scientific literature.
Rare algae groups of Chryso-
phyceae and Xanthophyceae have been collected by Dr. Rufus Thompson, assistant professor of botany. One of the two species of the Chrysophyceae group has not been rediscovered since its description in England in the late 1800's. Dr. Frye Onens Field
University scientists be a cem interested in the area when Dr. John C. Frye, executive director of the Geological Survey, wrote a paper on its ground water. Study of the snails in the bog was made next by Dr. A. B. Leonard, associate professor of zoology.

Observes Ft. Knox Military Training
622 Mass.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education spent four days during the past week observing the universal military training experimental unit at Ft. Knox, Ky. He returned March 13.
The training program will be extended throughout the United States if congress passes legislation requiring universal military training.
Dean Smith described the experimental unit as being "Very well organized."
He spent March 12 and 13 at the Chicago meeting of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges.
This was the first time Dean Smith had been to Ft. Knox since 1928. He was stationed there in the R. O. T. C. for six weeks at that time.
The conference was to determine availability of ground water near Garden City. A Stanolind gas plant, which manufacturers synthetic gasoline, has been proposed for the Garden City area.
Dr. H. E. Bacon, consulting chemical engineer, Baltimore, met with officials of the state Geological Survey this week.
