Burbanks brains have been capitalized.
In order that his wonderful discover

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
have been made the basis of a cor

eral millions. Hatland Law and his
brother, Herbert E. Law, two well
known millionaires of this city, are
the men who have secured the right
to distribute to the world the marvel
GUS plant discoveries of the Santa
Rosa naturalist. Working alone, Bur-
bank has not had time to give the re-
suits Of all oohis experiments to the
public. One Of the first things under.
taken by the new company will be a
fuller development of spineless cas-
tus. which promises to transform the
desert waste into grazing land for cat.
tie.
In this connection it is announced
that Burbank has developed cactus
capable of producing saccharine mat
ter which will yield both sugar and
alcohol.

in burning straw stacks. You might
