Controlling Nature.

Everybody knows that of late
years natural forces have been
wonderfully subjected to mans
need. We are dazzled by the spec
tacular achievements in steam and
electricity but are likely to forget
the less noisy but no less marve-
lous conquest Of animal and plant
life. Horses are swifter, cattle
heavier, cows give more milk and
sheep have finer fleeces than in
days gone by. In plants the trans
formation is even more marked.
People now living can remember
when the number of edible fruits
and vegetables was far less than at
present and even those that could
be grown were vastly inferior to
what we now have. For example,
our parents knew nothing of the
tomato except as curious orna-
ment in the garden. Sweet corn
was hardly better than the COM
monest field sorts. All oranges
had seed. Celery was little known
and poor in quality. In the flower
bed the magnificent pansy has re.
placed the insignificant hearts
ease from which it was developed,
and the sweet pea in all its dainty
splendor traces its origin to the
common garden vegetable.
This progress has been made in
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1905-12-14

spite of the great tendency mani
tested in all plants and animals to
60 back to the original type. 1t is
indeed a battle to keep the strains
pure and up to the standard they
have already attained, let alone
any improvement. The practical
results are accomplished by men
operating largely for love of the
work, like Luther Burbank in Cali
iornia and Eckford in England, as
well as by the great seed mer-
chants, ID. M. Ferry & Co., Of
Detroit, Mich, who are not only
eternally vigilant to hold what
ground has been gained, but have
a corps OF trained specialists backed
by ample means to conduct new
experiments. The results of their
experience can be found in their
1906 Seed Annual which they will
send free to all applicants.
