Burbank and the Cost of Living

Burbank and the Cost of Living
Luther Burbank is Duncan ENC
Kinley's solution of the high cost of
living.
All the economists agree" he
said that the chief item is the high
price of meats. And they all. agree
that meats are high because the
western range is gone-because the
great plains that used to grow cat
tie and sheep are now turned into
farms.
Burbank has taken cactus-that
prickly curse Of the plains that used
to grow spikes from one to three
inches long-and made it so smooth
that you can rub your face with it
as you would with a glove. And
that is where its value comes in.
Every ounce of that cactus is Just
as good for cattle. sheep, hogs and
chickens as alfalfa.
Nov, cactus grows naturally all
over the southwestern states, It
grows in sand, and takes its susie
nance from the air. There are g.
100000 acres of land in the inter-
mountain states owned by the gov
eminent that will grow that cactus
naturally, without cultivation and
three billion acres of desert in the
world.
This is what l saw at Burbank's
place week ago last Sunday: One
single acre on which there were g.
O56 tons of that cactus, and the
plants were but three years old.

Changing Cbousbt Of beaven

Life changes all our thoughts of heaven.
At first we think of streets of gold,
Of gates of pearl and dazzling light,
OF shining wings and robes of white,<
And things all strange to mortal sight.
But in the afterward of years
1t is more familiar place;
home unhurt by signs or tears,
Where waiteth many a we'll known face
With passing months it comes more near,
1t grows more real day by day:
Not strange or cold, but very dear
The glad homeland not far away,
Where none are SICK or poor or lone,
The place where we shall find our own.
And as we think of all we knew
Who there have met to part more,
Our longing hearts desire home, too,
With all the strife and trouble DER.
Robert Browning
