HORTICULTURE
BY r. WALDEN

This question Is asked: "Will wheat,
oats or barley turn into cheat?' This is
an old question. From one point of view
the question has no practical value but
from another 1t has. The botanists say
that it cannot occur but many honest
farmers say that 1t can. The position
of the botanists is this: Cheat belongs
to the genus bromus, wheat to the genus
triticum, oats to the genus avena and
barley to the genus hordeum Now, 1t
Is a scientifically established fact that
one genus by neither good or bad u.s.
age, can be changed into another. The
peach belongs to the genus prunus, the
apple to the genus pyrus. Now, it
would be just as reasonable to suppose
that some kind of treatment, good or
bad, could change the peach into an
apple as to suppose that any kind Of
treatment could change wheat, oats or
barley into chess, that is, cheat. Spe-
cies are more nearly related than gen.
era plural Of genus) and yet even
species cannot be changed from one
form to another by good or bad usage.
A cherry belongs to the genus prunus
and so does the peach but to a different
species and yet we cannot change the
cherry into the peach nor visa versa.
The apple is pyrus malus and the pear
pyrus communins, simply different spe-
cies of the genus pyrus, and yet no
kind of treatment of an apple tree can
make it bear pears and 1t Is equally
true that pear tree can never be
made to bear apples. And If species
can not by treatment, good or bad, be
changed one into another. how can we
changed
another?

But some one may say: will not evo-
luton account for this changer No.
Evolution as it Is used in the scientific
world means a very slow change reach
ing through the ages. Let us quote
again from Gray: But species, the
botanist expects to be distinct. Indeed,
the practical difference to the botanist
between species and varieties is the def
mite limitation of the one and the In
definiteness of the other. The botanist's
determination is partly matter or
observation, partly Of Judgment. In
an enlarged view, varieties may be In
cipient species; and nearly related spe-
cies probably came from n common
stock in earlier times For there Is
every reason to believe that existing
vegetation came from the more or less
changed vegetation of 4 preceding geo.
logical era. However that may be, spe-
cies are regarded as permanent and es-
entially unchanged in their succession
of individuals through the actual ages.
This gives us some idea or the slowness
of the changes that are caused by eVolu-
ton. 1t takes ages even more than the
actual ages, to make any perceptlplc
change. Gray believed In evolution

l have dwelt somewhat at length upon
this matter so that the honest farmer
who believes that wheat, oats and bar
ley do sometimes change into chess or
cheat, may see what a serious matter
he is up against. If any one who reads
what I have written still believes that
these momentous changes can be made
to take place so that one genus by treat
ment can be changed into another, let
him give a demonstration of this feat
under scientific supervision, so that
there may be no mistake, and he will
immortalize his name. Luther Burbank
would be by the side Of such man as

bank crosses nearly related species Tor
only such can be crossed. Gray in his
School and Field Botany, page 17e.
says: "Only nearly related species can
be hybridized; and the resulting progeny
is usually self-sterile, but not always"
If cheat were the result of hybridzing
between bromus and triticum 1t would
be between genera and yet Gray says
hybridizing is limited to species only.
But the honest farmers who claim the
change we are considering do not claim
it is by hybridizing but by degenerating
the plant by bad treatment Hence,
Gray in his work on botany. page All,
in describing the different species of
bromus mentions one as follows: BRO

to spend Sunday and Labor Day with a
friend Of hers at Morton. Pa. She said
she would be back on Tuesday but as she
did not return home or report at Boyer's
mill on Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs Black be-
came alarmed. They then made an in
vestigation and found that she had not
been to Mrs. Washon's and had also left
her KEYS behind and taken all her clothing

first trouble of the day occurred in the
seventh district of the ward, the poll
ing place for which is at 167 Commerce
street. This is the lodging house dis
trict and the vote began early. By
2:30 o'clock there were fifty-five bal
lots in the Democratic box and eight
people who had tried to register and
vote were prevented by the forces OF
Alderman Michael Mullen, who is OPP
posing those of County Collector p. J.
McGuinness and Frank Corbitt. There
were four policemen on duty. as well
as four or FIVE deputy sheriffs and em-
ployees of a private detective agency.
In the second district. where both Mr..
Mullen and Mr.. Corbltt reside, the vote
was also very heavy. BY 2:30 o'clock there
were 70 ballots in the Democratic box,
but no trouble had occurred.
In both districts there was little ac-
tiyity among Republicans. In the former
district there had been only four Repub-
