wondered how the change could
come about as rapidly as tradition
relates, and yet so universal is the
belief in this phenomenon that few
have the hardihood to doubt it.
And yet Stieda, hard headed Ger
man scientist, boldly says that it
isn't SO at all. This refractory Ger
man first proves that such a thing
couldn't possibly happen, and then,
not satisfied, declares that it never
did happen. With equal disregard
Of folk lore, history and medical lit
erature, he points the finger of
doubt and challenges many long de-
ceased historians and physicians to
arise and prove their stories.
He claims that when the hair
turns white under ordinary condi-
tons it does SO in one of two ways.
Either the pigmented hairs fall out
and are replaced bt unpigmented
hairs, or, less commonly, pigment
production stops in a growing hair
and the colorless portion gradually
replaces the darker outer segment.
As the growing of a new crop Of
hair in single night is beyond the
/ possibilities, Stieda must needs dis
credit all tales of such miraculous
transformation, says the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
This he does at length, taking up.
the best known instances of such
supposed blanching of hair and
finding them all lacking in support
sufficient to meet critical considera-
ton, much less such control as to
establish an acceptable scientific
demonstration. For example, he
doubts the story of Marie Antoin-
cites sudden loss of hair pigment,
stating that although the queen GER
tainly was gray at the time OF her
execution, yet this was no novelty,
for she was also gray nine months
before, at the time the king met his
sudden end at the hands of the rev.
olutionists.
AS for the rest of the reputed
cases, many are nothing better than
old wives tales, while others are ex,
amples of credulity substituted for
healthy skepticism and careful in
vestigation. The explanation Of
fered for several instances is SIM
ply that the keeper of the jail or
dungeon in which the unhappy
heroine or hero was confined neg
lected to furnish his guests dress
ing table with the hair dye to which
the latter had been accustomed at
home, and that nature asserted it.

Is utterly Insignificant in quantity, and
is very apt to be UNBEATABLE out Of
hand
But what happens when this fruit,
having apparently negative qualities.
Is transplanted and given sufn-
cheney Of room and moisture. It un-
dergoes such profound change that
its closest friend would scarcely know
1t. In q year or SO after being trans
planted 1t seems almost to explode. A
plant three or four inches high bear
ing few leaves and possibly two or
three cherries will attain height Of
three or more feet. and diameter or
spread Of six feet. And instead Of
bearing merely enough fruit to pro
duce another sand cherry. It will pro-
duce a peck or more Of excellent
cherries. have personally seen this
change come about and know that the
facts are as have given them.
In all probability not one North Da-
kotan In five hundred Is aware Of the
excellent cooking qualities of our ma
tive sand cherry. Il 10 a question Of
having eyes and seeing not: Of living
in bounteous orchard Of fruit and ig.
norant Of the fact.
Some Of them are excellent for eat
ing out Of hand. while others are too
tart and astringent for this purpose
There is no question about their cook
Ing value. They make pies that are
second only to the apple pies that
mother used to make" and which
are much superior to peach. apricot,
or plum pies. They make excellent
sauce and puddings, and Jelly and
sirup obtained from them are strictly
first class.
With these statements In its favor
one would think that every reader
of this article would not only begin
growing sand cherries in 1912. but
that he would make strenuous efforts
to induce his neighbors to do the
same. Will this be the case? Far
from 1t. This writing Of mine will
hardly make noticeable rifle. And
why is this? 1t is simply because I
am advocating the use Of something
that Is common and native II would
describe some new and wonderful
wonder berry" originated in other
lands. Of incipid flavor and Of no
value to this state, I would be be-
sieged with letters from all parts Of
North Dakota with frantic requests
for information.
The illustration shows native
sand cherry plant four years after
transplanting. 1t has q spread Of six
feet and Is over three feet tall When
transplanted 1t was SIX or eight
inches high. utterly Insignificant in
size. This bush produced 10 pounds
lof fine fruit in 1911.

NORTH DAKOTA FRUITS
Comparatively Easy Task Il

Sad Mistake 10 Made by Many That

,tBy L. r. WAIDRON. Superintendent

To grow fruits In North Dakota IL
comparatively easy. II only the right
kinds are selected One trouble hith-
erto has been the neglect OF the fruits
that succeed. Too much emphasis Is
placed upon such fruits as apples, GER
tain kinds OF plums, eastern cherries,
raspberries strawberries and other
kinds that can be grown only with
considerable skill.
A study Of our wild fruits should
convince one that fruit raising may
be made certain and profitable in
North Dakota. Moreover, our exper-
tence in the last few years has been
rather convincing In favor Of fruit
growing
North Dakota is populated mostly
by eastern people. and eastern people
are naturally used to eastern fruits
They come to this state and find that
people, as rule, buy their fruit in
stead OF growing II. They come to
the conclusion Immediately that II
fruit is to be grown II must natur-
ally be eastern fruit This conclusion
Is illogical and In many cases II
would be impracticable to grow east
ern fruits. The logical thing to do Is
20 grow the native fruits or at least
those fruits that contain native blood.
Many people turn up their noses at
our native fruit, replying at once that
1t has not sufficient quality for eco
nomic use. This is a very sad mis-.
take. that all knowing ones are aware
of North Dakota fruits have quality
plus and 1t lies with the housekeeper
TO bring 1t to the surface.
Let us take the sand cherry for an
example. This plant is native to the
state and Is found rather abundant.

sides of buttes. AZ found growing
