From DeristOn to Fame.

Scarcely decade ago Luther Bur-
bank was virtually unknown to the
world He was held IN delision by his
relatives, N pity by his friends, in scorn
by his enemies. He was denounced by
scientific men as little less than char
latan, producer of spectacular effects,
a seeker for the uncanny and abnormal,
an enemy to all true scientific progress
misleading though pe weriul prophet
of new order of things that could

was forced TO listen to an address vio-

well ordered course of plant life, des-
troying forces and functions long estab-

table life of the world to a condition at
