A ABLE DISCOVERY.

In a recent publication of the de-
partInent of agriculture appears Il
discussion of PLAN juniors. accompa-
MED by many comparisons With ma
lisnant human unlors that should
aid in stimulating additional research
Is into the cause of canoe in man.
Nothing is Yet known as u the cause
Of cancer. Man. however. has learned
much from animals and plants. and
the present study being made by tn.
agricultural department into plant tu-
mors may he beneficial TO humanity
In a Very large degree.
Curiousiy enough. in all the years
of cancer research il has not occur
red to Investigators that there might
he an analogous disease of plants that
would throw light on the human MI
crohe. Now the laboratory of plant
pathology has made the discovery
that plant cancer arc due To a mi
GRO organism. which has been Guilt
waited pure n with which they can
ma produced at will. The hactcrin
have been isolated both from tho pri-
mary n secondary tumors. The or
Eanism occurs inside tho coils. and
under its stimulus the mechanism Of
abnormal growth is accom- pliShed.
1t seems possible, inasmuvh as the
inception of the disease and its devel-
opnien appear to be the same in
plants and humans, that cancer in
men and animals may also be due 90
some parasitic organism. What has
been lone with regard 10 the analysis
of the disease and its causes in plant
growth may Yet be done With human
growths.
Before man attained much knowl-
edge he followed the example Of ami
mails and plants. and they proved
good teachers. There is still much
that can he learned from these forms
of life. Tho agricultural department
is performing a service to humanity
in directing attention to its discov-
cry.
