CACTUS USED FOR FORAGE
Botanical Wizard Robs Plants Of
Their Thorns and spines-
His Methods.

Luther Burbank, who is called the
botanical wizard because Of his devel-
opment Of stoneless plums and other
fruit freaks. has Just produced, after ten
years work. spineless cactus, which is
half as nutritious az. alfalfa, and will
yield more forage to the acre, says the
San Francisco Letter. BY q series OF
crossings and recrossings of different
varieties from different parts Of the
world, Mr.. Burbank is aiming to make
the plant harder and to produce more
fruit and leaves. He has at his Santa
Rosa experimental grounds specimens
OF q cactus which he has robbed OF
thorns. having brought the leaves to q
state Of perfection In which q man can
rub leaf over his face. The surface
Is found as soft as silk. The creation of
spineless cactus is of world wide i'm
portance. The plant will grow luxur-
iautly on the driest desert In this and
other countries Its leaves and fruit are
food for man and beast. and It will mean
to some regions more than the intro
duction Of the potato means to Europe.
