CACTUS MADE INTO Foap.
California Botanist Succeeds, After
Years of Labor, in Obtaining
This Result

Luther Burbank, who is called ''the
botanical wizard" because of his devel-
opment of stoneless plums and other
similar fruits, has just produced, after
ten years work, a spineless cactus
which is half as nutritious as alfalfa
and will yield more forage to the acre,
says the Weeks Progress. BY a series
of crossings and recrossings of differ
ent varieties from different parts of the
world Burbank is aiming to make the
plant harder and produce more fruit
and leaves.
He has at his Santa Rosa experiment
tai grounds specimens Of cactus which
he has robbed of thorns, having
brought the horny leaves to such a
state of perfection that man can rub
the leaf over his face. Tie surface is
found to be as soft as silk.
The creation of spineless cactus is
of great Importance. The plant will
grow iuxuriantly on the driest desert.
In this and other countries its leaves
and fruit are food for man and beast,
and it may mean to some districts
more than the introduction CT the po-
tato meant to Europe.
