miracle WHEAT IN AUSTRALIA

Luther Burbank is now said to have his miracle
wheat under demonstration 1t is promised to be
a much larger, firmer and better wheat than the
grain the Americans are accustomed to, and with
careful attention to seeding, the normal yield per
acre can be more than doubled. For some time
Burbank has been showing that the wheat raised
in Australia, Italy and Canada is bigger and better
than our own and good deal of this was because
the American farmer gave no attention at all to
the quality of his seed. All wheat looked alike to
him. BY experiments in selecton-by "breeding"
the grain and it's yield were susceptible to mark
ed Improvement. There is no reason in the world
why farmer should be satisfied with an average
national yield of less than 20 bushels to the acre
when the possibility of 60 bushels can be shown.
The splendid quality and great productiveness OF
the wheat of Australia are largely due to the sci
entifc experimentation and tireless activities OF
Sir William Farrar the Burbank of New South
Wales. Now that he is dead his work is being
still more appreciated and Australia is spending
half million for memorial. If the magnificent
wheat acreage of America could be persuaded to
double it's yield lot Of the responsibility Of this
country in the matter Of feeding the world would
be taken care of-Los Angeles Times.

BEATEN BUT NOT REPENTANT

The New York Evening Post has splendid re-
view of DR.. Arthur Shadwells article in the Nine
teenth Century, in which he discusses the various
aspects of the German debacle.
Mr.. Shadwell knows Germany intimately from
long residence and close study of the Hun mind
and philosophy.
1t is significant fact that not one note of re-
pentance has come from Germany. There is no
admission that the damnable doctrines preached
by Germ - scholars were false. Ar Mr.. Shadwell
pertnently remarks, the chief task that confronts
the world is to punish Germany for her own good.
The argument of this student is briefed in the
following manner by the New York Post:
Germany is defeated, but not repentant. Her
armies have been beaten, but her spirit has not
changed. The insane pride, the mad delusons of
the German people remain. Not yet has the poi
son, introduced into the blood by the teaching and
the indictments of forty years. been expelled. And
the only way to do it is by laying heavy burden
upon them which they will contnungly feel as a
hard schoolmaster to teach them a view of the
world and of German destiny wholly different
from the one that has been drilled into them. Hav-
ing been educated to satisfy greed by force and
lawlessness, the thing to do is to beat it into
their heads, by priyation and suffering, that the
whole German theory was wrong that so far from
s'paying, it meant in the end vast sums to be paid.
Let the German people feel for the next twenty
