CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
WINS In SENATE
Supporters of Bill Legalizing
Healing Sure Assembly Also
Will Approve It.
[By telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Albany, March D-The McClelland-
Thorn bill legalizing Christian Science
healing passed the Senate to-day by a
vote of 81 to 5. 1t will be voted on in the
Assembly Monday night. and Christian
Scientists feel certain of its passage there
also Governor Glynn Christian Scientists
say. will sign it.
The bill amends the medical practice
act, exemptlng from the provisions Of
the act ANY person who ministers to or
treats the sick or suffering by mental or
spiritual means. without the use Of drugs
or any material remedy"
Christian Scientists say the only opposi-
ton the bill will have in the Assembly
will come from the Progressive leader Of
the House, Michael Schaap. He is against
1t, arguing that the bill will act as a
shield for takers, clairvoyants and charla-
tans generally who pretend to cure dis
eases by spiritual or mental means
This belief of the Progressive Assembly
leader is not denied by the hackers of the
bill, but they point out that measures
similar in wording have been passed in
California. Illinois Massachusetts and
other states of the Union and that there
has been no cause for the repeal of the
laws.
The bill is opposed by the medical fra
ternity and the chief opposition to it on
the Senate side was DR.. John Seeley, Of
the 49d. With him voting against the bill
were Senators Thompson, Wheeler, Her
rick and Velte. Robert S. Ross, repre-
senting the Christian Scientists, said the
amendment was made necessary by the
county medical societies throughout the
state causing the arrests Of Christian
Science healers.

rived only yesterday and had not yet

The Gamewell fire alarm system

today. Five boxes were placed in diff.

All Seeds Are Saved.

Here, perhaps, lies the secret of his
success. for by this he accomplisEes,
within a comparatively short time, what
would otherwise take years to do. After
his attention is attracted to a plant,
Burbank saves all of the seeds and
sows them in soil placed in green house
boxes about is inches square and four
and one-half inches deep. The soil itself
| is prepared by mixing 80 parts of pure
sand, forty parts of loan containing
leaf mold, eight parts powdered moss
or peat and two parts bone fertilizer.
The soil is moistened by dropping boxes
into a tub of water. The seeds are
sown ON the surface and covered light
lily with a thin layer of soil and pow
dered moss.
The seedlings are transplanted into a
field and then subjected to rigid in
spection-out of many thousand seed
lings Burbank may select less than a
dozen for further experiment. In his
selection he lays particular stress on
the sturdiness of the stock, the
branches. round fat buds, large thick
leaves, rich color, vigor and tendency to
upright growth.
How He Saves Time.
In order to bridge time and to
breathe into the complex hybrid, and
various trees of the different species
he gets a Seeding from its own root
and CRAFTS it as a scion on the branch
of mature tree. He CRAFTS his seed
Hing, as a rule, on twig nearest
the end of branch. The scions
thus placed usually bear fruit il
the second year, whereas, if they had
been left to grow ON their own roots
five or six years of growth would bt
necessary to secure bearing. Because
of this method experiments are carried
on through five or six generations il
1.-THE time that would originally be re
lquired for two generations.

, with score or more of graftings oil

: All of Burbank s work has a perna
, nent quality in it, and the methods tha
, he employs, might be used by anyone
who has more than mere cursory in

Work of Luther Burbank Is Explained
Hints Gardener 0rcharst Are Given From Career of
Wizard of Plant Life
IN THIS, the early spring days, when

IN THIS, the early spring days, when
tho men and women whose diver
sion involves work in the garden
and in the orchard, it might be well to
take lesson from the resultful methods
of the greatest of all horticulturists,
Luther Burbank. While the world
knows much of his achievements in the
creation of new forms of plant life,
only very small number of those
familiar with his work really know
how he gets the phenomenal results that
have made him the genius that he is.
Luther Burbank has several funda-
mental methods of perhaps
the most important being the hybridiz'
ing of more or less closely related
species and varieties of plants Early in
his career he discovered that he could
produce new varieties, and in some
cases new species, by cross -fertilizing
different species of plants. As testi-
monials to his success in this field, we
have his well known plumcot, a cross
between the plum and the apricot
crosses between the apple and the pear
apple and ounce, ounce and pear
peach and lemon, orange and lemon. By
crossing different varieties within the
species, he has produced hundreds oi
new varieties of plums, prunes, peaches
apples, pears, cherries and ounce. Hit
stoneless plum and prune and his gi
gantic cherries are notable instance!
of his creations by crossing different
varieties of the same species
Judgment Is Keen.
As supplement to the process o.
hybridization comes his keen judgment
in the selection of varying individual!
of the same specie or variety. By TAX
ing cherry that bore fruit early il
the season, he developed his presen
early appearing cherry. By selection h
evolved the Burbank sugar prune witi
a % per cent sugar content.
Burbank method precludes CUES
work. He always knows exactly wha
he is striving for and only uses sucl
examples as contain in the embryo tn
ultimate qualities desired. If he desire
to make the cherry larger, wider, redde
and juicier he reduces the size of tn
plant and shortens the stem to max
the tree hardy and prolific bearer
He blends the right heredities an
after securing plants that show give
combination in superlative degree, h
then proceeds to produce great quar
tity of seedlings.

Forest Fire Season
Gets Early Start
r IRST REPORTS of forest fires
have begun to come in to Wash

r. IRST REPORTS of forest fires
have begun to come in to Wash
ington from the national forests
and they indicate to the federal Off
GERS an early start of the fire season,
with unfavorable weather conditions
from the very beginning. In the North
west there was less snow on the noun.
tainc at the end of the winter than for
many years past. Railroad rights of
way which were last year deep in snow
are reported clear now and dry enough
to burn readily.
From the Canadian border to Mexico
the reports are similar, and there have
already been extensive fires in Cali.
fornia and Arizona.
The chief forester reports, however,
that the fire-fighting forces of the serv-
ice are organized better than ever be-
fore, particularly in respect to the fire
detection system Of lookout stations. BY
means Of these stations fires are report
ed quickly and accurately, so that the
control forces may be on the ground at
the earliest possible moment.
In those states whore the gravcst
danger threatens, special efforts are be-
ing made by the government forcsters
and by cooperative fire protection as
sociasions organized among timberland
owners, to secure care with fire on the
part of ctmpers, prospectors, loggcrs
and by railroads. The Northwestern
Forestery and Conservation Association
With headquarters at Portland, Oregon

Getting More Money
From Egg Crop
nAD EGGS cause farmers loss of
p between three and four million

p between three and four million
dollars annually. Government ex-
perts estimate that S per cent of the
eggs marketed have developing chick
ems and that per cent are "rots" due
to the embryo decaying. All these
losses could be avoided by keeping
roosters out of the flocks, thus hav-
ing only infertile eggs produced. If
farmers would follow this plan, they
could save one and three-fourths mil
lions of dollars annually.
Infertile eggs produced by flocks in
which there is no male bird are the
only kind that can reach the consumer
in good condition during the hot sum-
mer months. The only object in having
a male bird in the flock is to get fertile
eggs for Matching purposes Now that
the Matching season is over, colleges of
agriculture urge all farmers to sell off
all the roostcrs or shut them away from
the hens.
Last year in July and August nearly
one-half the eggs leaving the farms
were unfit for food. The farmer, as a
result, received low price. Prevent
that loss this year by getting rid Of
the rooster. Now is the time to act tc
prevent future losses.
