The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-03-13
The Wizard of Plant Life

Luther Burbank has attracted vast
amount of attention because he has at
tempted and to considerable extent
succeeded in doing something quite
novel, at least in this country, says the
Technical World Magazine. He is
breeding up plant, fruit and vegetable
life. He is the godfather of the sugar
prune, giant in comparison to its an
cestors, the French prune, of which Cal
ifornia produced $50, 100000 pounds
of the dried product in a year. The
sugar prune ripens earlier and is Of i'm
mense commercial value. Burbank is
also the maker of the seedless plum,
which he accomplished by crossing two
varieties of the pruns triffora. The
white blackberry is another of the hor-
ticultural wizards triumphs. Sixty-fve
thousapd bushels were used in the
tests before he developed this phenom-
ena. He has given to the arid deserts
a new species of grass which will grow
on the plains without water. He con-
verted the cactus into an edible plant.
The wild potato Of South America
also received his attention. From a
single eye of this potato he developed
100 hybridizations and grew a large
tuber of good quality. Mr.. Burbank
has made endless experiments with the
potato. He keeps on his farm at San
ia Rosa no less than 10000 varieties
for experimental purposes. He has
grown potatoes of every shape and
color-round, long, square, pure white,
pink, crimson, purple-and shipped all
over the world. The late Cecil Rhodes
planted 10000 of his seedless plum
trees in South Africa which have now
multiplied into the millions

Echo From cheIan Co. Fair Association

Did Walter Olive mail you a check
for thirty cents? says the World.
If he did, this is his explanation:
The affairs OF the defunct Chelan
County Fair Association have been
finally wound up, and that was your
divvy as a stockholder-30 cents a
share.
D. A. Beal was president and Walter
M. Olive secretary of the old organiza-
ton, which hourished here in ante
boom days, and its stock was valued al
$40 per share. When it went out o.
business in 1906 there were funds or
hand to pay all obligations, and repay
the stockholders in full, plus 50 pei
share bonus. A small sum was left or
deposit in the Columbia Valley bank tc

come up.
A balance of $110.13, remaining af
ter all known debts and expenses o
closing up have been paid, is being
divided among the old stockholders a
a pro rata of thirty cents a share.
This is the last act OF the ChelaI
County Fair Association, whose I'm
timely end is deeply mourned.

WORK STARTED BY BlOMQUIST
WiH Be Continued by Thomas Darling and
Others

Rev. c. F. Blomquist departed for
his home, Cheney, Wash, last Sunday
night. He has labored in this field for
the past six or eight months, and not
without good results. He is an honest.
conscientious Christian gentleman.
whose everyday life goes far in promot-
ing the cause Of his church. For the
past month, perhaps longer, he has
been conducting what he terms lay
mems mission, ably assisted by Thomas
Darling, who recently determined to
devote his life to aiding fallen human
ity. In his absence Mr.. Darling will
continue the work along the same line.
Not since the Congregational church
was organized has so much interest in
religious matters been manifested in
this town. Every night for weeks the
church was crowded.
The large number Of laboring men
in this town and the fact that they have
no place other than barrooms to spend
their evenings makes this field open
to a rich harvest for the worker in the
cause of bettering humanity.
It has not been decided whether Mr..
Blomquist will return to Leayenworth.
In any event MIR. Darling will see that
the good cause does not die, out for
want OF leader.
