"A VISIT TO
BURBANK
Professor Bradfield Tells OF Inter
estins Visit 40 PLANT
Wizard's-' Home

Difficult as it is to change natural tend
encies, moreover. 1T is easier to change
the will of child than to alter the nat
ural tendencies of plants. Bear in mind
repetition, the use of an influence over
and over again. There are plants SO per-
sistent that no human power has been
able to change them. Their stubbornness,
however is broken by blending a new
life with them, making by crossing, a
complete and powerful change In their
lives. In comparison to this, the nature
OF child is changed much more easily,
and it is certain that its sensitiveness and
adaptibility have not been put to
their best practical use in child culture
either in the home or the school,
Mr. Burbank then asked for further
suggestions from his audience.
"How about the Mrs. Burbank and
and the little Burbanks9'' some one sug-
gested, evidently wishing to know what
results had come from child culture under
his immediate observation. In the laugh
ter which followed Mr.. Burbank explain
ed that he was unmarried there was
neither Mrs. Burbank nor any little
Burbanks.
''TelI us abont the Shasta daisy, Some
one else called out
Mr.. Burbank said that he had always
had liking for daisies and sent back to
one of the eastern states for some seed
from the common field daisy which is
looked upon as weed. By crossing this
with large eastern flower he prod duoed
large daisy but its color was not Of the
desired whiteness. This in turn, was
crossed with Japanese flower and there
was produced after many years of select
ing the beautiful white Shasta daisy.
The next question directed to him was,
Do plants that result from crossing show
characteristics of both parent pIants?''
YES he replied, Abut there viii be a
great variety Of forms, some showing a
tendency to grow taller than others, some
showing greater fruitfulness, some earlier
maturity, etc. 1t is sometimes dificuit
to detect breaks in any one direction and
it usually requires five or six years to fix
peeuliarities. Some flowers, such as
the Gala lily, are not noted for their fra
GRANGE, but noticed one that had a
very noticeable trace of odor and planted
seed from this particular flower. Among
the resulting flowers, were some in which
this peculiarly was even more marked.
By continuing the process of selecting,
the present fragrant ealla lily has been
produced" !"
''Tell us of the spineless cactus" was
the next request.
''The cactus is striking illustration Of
the adaptabihty Of plant to its environ
ment. No doubt it once had leaves and
in its struggle for existence in the desert
among destructive enemies, the leaves de-
veloped into spines. When the plant is
cultivated in surroundings where protec-
ton is no longer needed it is possible by
selection to get forms in which the spines
are suppressed" He then called atten-
ton to cactus plant which had been
pulled up by the roots and hung to the
limb of tree. A card was attached bear
ing this legend:

Mr.. Burbank then said that his duties
required bis attention elsewhere so he left
the teachers to look over his gardens and
admire the long rows Of strange plants
and flowers to which be was giving SO
much of bis attention and care.

Many a mother has learned of q way of avoiding sickness in her fam fly, especially among the children, by the use of a free sample bottle of the famous laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to send free sample bottle has been re- sponded to by thousands of women in all parts of America.
 Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a truly wonderful laxative and espe- cially adapted to the needs of babies and children because it is pleasant to taste and no child will refuse it. Then, 1t is mild and never gripes. It is all that child's remedy should be, though it is good laxative for the whole family because 1t is effective at all ages. It is not dynamic like salts. pills and powerful cathartics, which should not be given to chill dren under any circumstances.

ACCORDING to the records that are handed down from the days of the Red man in this country two sets of locusts will make their appearance in.1911. One is the l7-year and the other the 13-year. Arkansas farmers feel the most interested in the 17-year variety, which appeared last in 1894. No ap- prehension need be felt on account of the 13-ers in this country, as the 13- year appearance of these cicades is said to be confined to the territory east Of the Alleghanes.

THE question of better schools for country children is the most important issue before Us today. The lack of schools with modern facilities is the weakest point in the development of the best interests of American people. Upon the solution of this matter large ly depends the future welfare of the country people, which includes the vel fare of all the people. What we need now more than any other thing is a system of schools which will educate the country people as successfully as city schools educate city people. The graded schools in cities and in towns of the better class are working toward a condition where their future success is assured. The country needs a system that trains for life and at the same time fits for college without destroying the home or taking the child away from it's favorable influence during the period of his development when the home and school unite in education, training and experiences for the formation of char acter, the foundation of edcucation and development of ideals.

IT does not pay to spend time fretting over past mistakes. When thing is done, it is done, and no fretting can re- call it. The best thing is not to repeat it. To spend 2 dollar over twenty five cent mistake is much about the same as sewing good new cloth on some old rotten material.
