LUTHER BURBANK. GENIE.

Luther Burbank is sometimes call
ed "The Wizard of Horticulture" and
he has been humorously spoken of as
'the only American CRATER who is
popular" When he was 16 years of
age he went to work in the shops of
the Ames Plow company, in Massa-
chusetts, and showed much mechani-
cal ingenuity. But even then his
mind was bent on breeding and cross
breeding of plants and fruits. lie
succeeded in developing a new va
riety of potato which was named af-
ter him and which he sold to seed
house.
Later, because he liked the climate,
he went to Santa Rosa, California,
where he laid out two gardens for ex-
perimenting, and soon began to
achieve very wonderful results. He
produced a hybrid plum, a cross be-
tween the American and Japanese
varieties, but larger and finer than
either. He developed a small species
of German prune into prune that
Is of great size and remarkable
sweetness. From the wild berries he
derived new ones, such as no one had
ever seen before. Prunes without
stones, raspberries without thorns,
ounces without acid, and cacti with
out prickles are few of his many
| marvels.
With flowers he has juggled in the
same magic way, changing the Cali
fornia poppy from gold to red, COM
pelling new lilies to exhale the fra
GRANGE of violets, and crossing carna-
tions, daisies, and roses in such a
| way as to produce a bewildering mass
of floral beauty. Three years ago
the Carnegie institute voted him an
allowance of $4,000 year for 10
years in order to help on the expert
ments which have made him famous
| all over the world.
Burbank seems to possess an in
stinot for the work that he Is doing.
He can detect the subtlest differences
in plants and can divine just what eff
feet these differences will have when
the plant is crossed with others.
Some have regretted that Mr.. Bur-
bank has not set down his knowledge
in writing. so that it could be reas-
mitted through books. But he him
self in many cases cannot tell the
reason for what he does; and this 1.
precisely what makes him such a
marvel. His gift is less the result Of
study than 1t is a strange sixth sense
which cannot be explained, and can
not be given to others.
Mr.. Burbank is convinced that 4
is possible to improve the human
species by the same method that he
has adopted to improve plants. II
other words he compares human be-
ings who are now on earth to the
wild plants of nature which produce
a thousand small, odorless blossom!
to one large, fragrant flowe. He ha.
demonstrated that in plant life, b!
crossing plants that possess to an un
usual degree certain characteristic!
that it is desired to accentuate, vas
improvements can be brought about
His theory Is that the human race
could be developed more in a hun
dred years, with intelligent direction
than is likely to come about in age!

Texas and Tennessee are doing a

tion of women, property and lives.
BY extending the responsibility to

will solve the whole problem, for all

THE NIGER QUESTION"

A United Press dispatch says "The
Farmers union of Georgia, with
membership of $4,000, has gone on
record as being opposed to plans for
bringing foreign immigrants into the
south"
Again do we find a house divided
against itself within a year after the
widely heralded Carolina plan of i'm
porting peasants from Europe ''to
solve the southern labor problem" A
year ago several hundred European
emigrants reached the Carolinas,
nominally perfectly free to follow
their own purposes from the moment
of disembarking, while as a matter
of fact every individual was under a
contract, either written or implied.
Though the whole movement was dis
tinctly in violation of the federal laws
forbidding the importation of contract
labor, there was no especial interfer-
ence with the scheme, though the at
tention of the bureau of immigration
and the secretary of commerce and
labor was called to the matter. On
the part of the secretary seemed to
be an unimpressionable indifference
TO the legal phases of the issue, and
still greater indifference to the fur
ther and broader issue that these
poverty-struck (though perfectly
worthy people were coming into a
state and district already overcrowd-
ed with laborers, and that the inevi-
table effect must be to intensity the
living. How the importation of Eur
opoan labor could "solve the south
ern labor question" was a question
which no amount of sophistry could
make clear when all the reasons and
facts pointed inevitably in the one di-
rection: overstocking still worse an
already overstocked labor market.
And now the Georgia farmers, in
one short year, have gotten at the
basic facts in the case: which are
nothing more nor less than a sensi-
BILE realization that what the south
needs is not more laborers, but a
horse-sense management of the ne
groes, who, when properly managed,
are the most effective manual labor
ers in the United States today.
When the federal government and
the individual states most deeply con-
cerned adopt a system of state en-
ployment and remuneration of the
blacks, whose lack Of intelligent initi-
ative is so dangerous to peace. quie-
tude, morals and established society,
then the south will begin to "see Its
way out" and not before. When the
labor on all public improvements and
on all quasi-public undertakings down
south is performed by the superabun-
dance of labor already in the south,
then that region will become as peace
full and safe as any portion of the
nation, and increase in wealth and
prestige enormously. Every other
means has proven a failure, and des-
tiny points to this scheme Of the
commonwealth meeting its RESPONSE
bility toward the black man before
he is ready" for the stake or the
penitenuary. Responsibilities met al
the right time would render obsolete
the penitentiaries, the chain gangs
and mob vengeance.

spirit manifested in the determination
