ANNEXATION TALK IS
BAD FOR TREATY

Ottawa, Ont.-The continued talk of
annexation, kept alive by the opposi-
ion journals, is causing resentment
n Canada, according to some of the
eading supporters of the government,
and may jeopardize the reciprocity
measure now before Parliament.
While the Liberals have accepted
The message of President Taft to Mr..
Mccall as the true sentiment at
Washington, feeling that has been
aroused in the dominion cannot be
ignored, and it is understood that
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will make state
ment which it is asserted will set at
rest forever the idea that annexation
of Canada by the United States Is
possible.
1t is declared by government sup
porters that the reciprocity plan is
popular throughout Canada and would
produce material results. But the
sentimental feeling overshadows it,
and the suggestion that the agree
ment is the first step toward depriv-
ing Canada of autonomy is resented.

Cancer in Plants
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT Of AGRICULTURE

The Department of Agriculture has
in press a bulletin eentitled Grown
Gall, Its Cause and Remedy" which
PROMISES not only to revolutionize pr
sent views respecting the nature Of
various overgrowths in plants, but
also to throw light on the cancer prob
lem in men and animals.
This Bulletin deals with widely
distributed and harmful disease of or
chard trees and other plants. This
disease is commonly known III the
United States as crown gall, but It
may occur not only on the crown of
plants, but on roots and shoots.
The disease has been known for
long time, and under the SUPPOSE
tion that it was infectious and in
curious various States have made
quarantine laws against it. The dis
ease has been ascribed to various
causes, without satisfactory proof, and
many persons have been led 10 be-
lieve that it was not due to any organ
ism. The experiments detailed in the
bulletin show clearly that the gall IS
due to bacteria and is infectious, be-
ing readily transmitted not only from
plant to plant of the same kind but
also to many plants of widely differ
emily families. The Bulletin shows
that the growth is not only of itself
injurious to the plant, but also may
form an open wound through which
other parasites are likely to enter,
such as the fungus of root rot, and
the bacteria which cause blight OF
apples and pears.
The Bulletin recommends that the
inspection laws now in force in the
various States be continued and en-
forced. 1t shows what plants it is not
advisable to use as crop following
a CALLED one. 1t describes the life MIS-
| tory and cultural characters of the
| ficulties through which it was isola.-
ed and identified, gives numerous i.
lustrations showing the nature ot
the tumors produced andsthe time i'll
volved in their production when pur,
cultures of the organism We're used
shows that the organism has a wild
range of host plants, and that the ov,
growths produced are in many way
anatomically and otherwise striking
ly like those found in certain malig
nant animal tumors
! The cause of cancer is unknown
and a majority OF animal pathologists

gall. No good reason can be adduced
whv cancers should not occur in
plants as we'll as in animals, and if
these plant growths are truly cancers
then it iss extremely probable that mi
croorganlsms of some sort are also the
lncitng cause in sarcoma and carci-
noma. Tubercule diseases occur in
plants as we'll as in animals and su-
perficially they resemble these growth
but not structurally nor in the group
ings OF the parasite.
The bacteria cNsing these plant
tumors are not abundant in the It's
sues, sometimes very rare; are hard
to see and difficult to stain: they per-
ish readily both in the tumor and in
culture-madia; are difficult to rulti-
vate from the tissues unless one know
the technique; do not form abscess
cavities after the manner of the tu-
bercle diseases, but multiply in limit
ed number within the tissues and ap-
parently only inside the cells which
their presence stimulates into rapid
division. The disease metastasizes read
lily. and Oh this account is cut out
with difficulty. The organism loses
virulence easily both inside the tu-
mors and in culture-media and final
ly if the plants are not destroyed by
it they seem to acquire Il partial or
complete immunity.
The Bulletin should not only be Of
very great importance to the orchard
lst and grower of hothouse plants, but
also to all specialists who are inter-
ested in the cancer problem, inasmuch
as in the present uncertain state of
| research on that disease any clue
whatsoever becomes of Importance.
1t is not claimed that the organism
here described is itself the cause of
malignant animal tumors, but only
that in many respects the growths
produced by it are suggestive of malig
nant animal tumors, and that probabl
some similar parasite lies at the bot
tom of the malignant phenomena of
srch growths. The Bulletin involves
teamwork done by four people in the
Department of Agriculture covering
a period of six years and the total
number of experiments involved
| amounts to thousands.
