voluntarily destroyed his fifty-gal-
Ion copper still, which has run ac-
cording to, his estimate, 10000 GAL
Ions Of liquor since he put it in use
soon after the Civil War, Thru all
the years the still was not found by
the "revenuers." Having been con-
verted TO prohibition, the noonshin-

he was thru. Then he hacked up the
still and sold the copper as junk.

FarnnDePartrrent

The story Of the new Burbank super
wheat is teld in full fer the first
time by Luther Burbank in the Sep
tenber number of orchard and Farm
OF Los Angeles. Burbank's chosen
medium of publicity. After referr-
ing to some unauthorized and an
founded statements that have been
published about the new wheat in
certain newspapers, Burbank tells
what the new grain is and what II
can be expected to do when seeded
in common soil. THE small field of
this new wheat which was grown
this season" he says, has been the
wonder of thousands OF people, from
almost every State, who have seen it.
They have marvelled at the beauty
of the growing grain and the size
and perfect uniformity of the head,
which are very white, square, well
filed, and average little over
inches in length.
"OR good common valley soil it
produced 4S.SS bushels an acre, and
as il ha. all been raised from a sin
gle kernel, it is perfectly clean and
uniform in all respects, all ripenins
at the same time"
AS to the character Of the new
wheat, Burbank says:
1T resists rust we'll, and the
straw though long. is rigid, and is
not subject to lodging. 1t may, like
all other California-grown wheats,
be elassed as a winter wheat, as all
wheats are sown here in the fall to
be harvested by next summer"
In telling how he produced the
Burbank said it is the
result of ten years of careful and
EXPENSIVE work." which have proved
to him that all grain crops may be
greatly improved not only in quanti-
ty, but in uniformity and quality. As
to his practice in grain improvement
and in the production of the new su-
he says:
First l secure quantities OF the
best variety of wheat from Canada,
the United States, Mexico. England.
France, Norway, Italy, Argentina,
and New Zealand These
are first screened to obtain the larg- !
est kernels. This, thosgh not quite
as scientific, a. the largest grains are
produced by the poorest
plants, is the best plan
with foreign wheats. Then each va
-iety is carefully hand-picked, select /.
ng only those wheat berries which
ire of uniform color, large size and
we'll rounded, full and complete in
Ill respects"
Burbank says two of these varie- |
les are then crossed, and by this |
means varieties are obtained in the |
second and succeeding generations, /
md sometimes valuable new quail |
ties of the two varieties are not only !
but are accentuated. The /
crossed varieties do not become quite /
inform until after several selections
md reselections. s'iT''.'@
He says the new wheat is a combi-
lation of one o fthe best Italian
vheats and a popular Australian va
iety, the comeback"
"The comeback is, perhaps, the
,est Australian wheat known" he
ays, "and in my selections for yield
md other good qualities has reap
,eared oftener than any other va.

As soy-bean seed spoils rather cas-
fly if not properly handled, care
should be exercised in curing and
storing. After the beans are thrash
ed they should be watched careful
ly to avoid heating and moldinS.
When thoroughly dry there is no
such danger The best plan, per-
haps, is to spread the seeds out on
a floor Immediately after thrashing,
and shovel them over from time TO
time until they are thoroughly dry,
After this they may be safely pS
into sacks or bins. The stOreroom
should be dry and with free cir

state that the court would assist In
having the roads repaired by the man

Under liabilities the jury found out
standing bonds of $4,000 maturing in

from a long tour of tn e country
ands of friends during her long ex-
perience as a motion picture actress
had some wise words to say concern
ing censorship on her return home
from a long tour of the country
She was commissioned to preach bet
ter pictures" to the layman public
in behalf Of the entire industry
After months spent in observation in
many cities, she said:
The censorship wave, distressing as
1t is in detail, is, / think, an augury
for the better pictures. At least that
was the impression l received from
the undercurrent of opinion that
recognizes the necessity for some fac
tor that will absolutely control the mo-
ton picture.
III the public wanted the vulgar,
broad problem play, the unwholse-
some vampire and similar types. there
would be no demand for censorship.
1T is Just because the public wants
clean pictures that the industry now
is beset with the censorial affliction.
The cure lies with the manufacturers
themselves When they make IL a
point to produce only clean, whole
some pictures and guarantee to the
public that they will not be asked to
gaze upon scenes offensive to morals
and good taste, then the censor boards
will expire of hamilton.
