the carboniferous period, for instance,
have been preserved for thousands OF
years ms potential agencies for the COM
fort and convenience of mankind. The
giant ferns and other forms OF plant life
which are now found In the form OF coal
had served their purpose, and In the ac-
ton of natural laws IL was fitting that
they should become extinct. But the de-
cadence OF the sugar cane and the potato
il not natural, but rather results from
the circumstances OF their cultivation.
The danger lies in the fact that both
have been propagated for 80 many gem
e~rations from buds-the sugar cane from
the joints OF the stalk, and the potato
from the eyes of the tuber-that they
have almost lost the power OF producing
fruitful seeds. For a century or more,
during which reproduction from buds can
be successfully continued, tho fact that
the seeds themselves become sterile or
dwindle away and disappear, does not
seem particularly important. Finally.
however, there comes a time, like the
present. when "A whole species shows signs
of the deterioration which D~recedes ex-
tinction; and It is then only by crossing
one plant with another plant, or one va
ricty with another variety. that the life
OF the species can be renewed. But II
the plant has lost It's secd-producing fac
ulty, such crossing is evidently impossi-
BILE. and the degeneration must continue
To It's logical result.
Sugar cane is. of course, ono OF thu
most valuable and important of agricul-
tural products. According To botanical
history II was first known in India.
whence It was brought by the Venetians
10 Europe during the twelfth century and
cultivated to some extent In the islands
81 the Mediterranean. Later, II was in
troduced into Spain and finally into Amer
lea. where It became firmly established
during the sixteenth century. Botari-
cally known az 'faccharum oficinari-
um," IL Is a sort Of strong, cane-stcmmcd
grass, ten or twelve feet high, with a
large fcathcry plume of flowers. II IL at
present grown In all warm countries.
and the plants for fifty or 100 plant
generations have been started from the
buds, which spring from the joints OF
the cane. \ section of the stalk con-
tanning one of these gcnerative ioints is
planted and a new stock or group OF
stalks springs up, the plantation being
thus maintained by Il portion OF It's prod
ucts. Meanwhile. as the plants mature,
they put forth blossoms. which, though
beautiful an they ever were, perhaps, are
meaningless and unfruitful.
When II was discovered by the bOtan-
lists that the sugar cane was losing its
power to produce fruitful seeds. IL was
realized that such "a loss meant inbreed-
