BURBANK'S CACTUS
A Valuable Forage Plant Adapted to
Growth In Semi-Arid Regions
With Little Care.

Luther Burbank's great thornless
cactus plant is receiving unstinted at
tention from the agricultural world,
but it is to the arid and semi-arid sec
tions that the wizards discovery will
itself more forcibJy felt. Burbank
says of this plant:
During the past two years the United
States department of agriculture has
dispatched agents to all parts where
cacti grow to look up this matter and
last season gave some valuable infor-
nation gathered from those who had
for years been feeding the wild, thorny
ones to their stock with good results
when properly prepared by fire, though
it is acknowledged that thus prepared
a portion Of the nutritive value is lost
and though the dangers of loss from
feeding to stock are lessened, are not
by any means safe, even by singeing or
any other process, while many of
these new thornless ones are safe to
handle and as safe to feed as beets,
potatoes, carrots or pumpkins.
But let it be understood that these
thorns are not growing on the wild
Opuntias for ornament any more than
poison fangs. teeth, claws and stings
are possessed by various animals.
They are for defense and when de-
prived ,of these defenses they must
be protected from stock like any other
feed grown in farrI, fields or gardens.
Still some doubter who has no know
ledge of desert conditions will say,
"Will it pay?" Does anything pay?
Some people think that corn, wheat,
oats, barley, cotton. rice, tobacco,
melons and potatoes pay. How many
tons of wheat or potatoes can be raised
each season on an acre Of good soil?
Yes we'll, by actual weight in the
summer of 1906 in the cool coast eli
mate of Sonoma county, Cal. on heavy,
black "adobe" soil, generally thought
wholly unsuited for cactus, my new
Opuntias produced the first year, six
months from single rooted leaves,
planted about June /, an average of
An pounds per plant on fourth
acre, yielding at the distance planted
(21ax5 feet) at the rate of 1870, ,230
pounds cover 80 tons) of forage per acre.
Some of the best varieties produced
very much this average, though plant
ed much too closely for permanent
field culture; yet these notes are of
interest on subject of which little
