ners Association, Washington, D. C., paid a short visit to the Madison, 
Wis., field laboratory on June 18. 
T. E. Bronson, of the Madison, Wis., laboratory, has just com— 
pleted new rain and wind recorders. These are an imorovement over the 
machines developed last year, as they record wind direction as well as 
velocity. Instead of the charts which had to be changed daily, a 90-foot 
roll of chart is to be used this year which will run for about two months. 
A section will be removed weekly, however, to prevent it from winding too 
much on the drum and altering the time. 
W. A. Thomas, of Chadbourn, N. C., visited the Sanford, Fiaee 
and Fairfax, S. C., field laboratories the middle of June in connection 
with investigations of the mole cricket.
