STUDENTS RUN FROG FARM

Kansas Youths Work Their Way Through University by Curious Business Enterprise. Lawrence, Kan. —Frogs and turtles are taking Donald Carpenter and Harvey Kerr through the University of Kansas. The two students have devised a scheme to supply the university biological laboratories with frogs and turtles lor experiments and are being well rewarded financially. Because of the dry climate of Kansas few frogs or turtles are found there. The university tried importing the 3,000 frogs and 1,500 turtles it uses each year from Chicago and Detroit, but the long trip proved impractical. On a vacation trip to the .Ojsarks, Carpenter and Kerr caught a large

number of the amphibians and dumped them in the water-filled cellar of a deserted house in Lawrence, where they multiplied rapidly enough to meet all the needs of the laboratories.
