WORK OF PLANT INVENTOR
His Skill Produces Variations That Nature Would Require Thousands
 of Years to Accomplish.

With a watch glass and fine cam ers-har brush the plant inventor per forms miracles. He causes more changes in six generations than Nature, unaided, would produce in 100000 years Two plants may be growing in his garden, native of countries sep arated by continents. Their Struc- lures, habits, hereditary tendencies and identities have been preserved through thousands of years. The plant inventor takes the pollen from one, transfers it to his watch glass, carries it to the other, and from the glass transforms it to the bloom. The resultant seed is sOWn. Tie new plants may resemble one plant or the other, or they may be like neither, or they may be the veriest monstrosi- ties. There are thousands of disap-
 pointments for one success in the work.
 Luther Burbank chose one seeding out of 65,OOO when he invented the primuSberry. The rest were remOrse- lesSly destroyed. The new primus' berry is a cross between the raspberry and the blackberry. but has a fruit much larger and finer than either MT
 Burbank has produced 3OO,OOO vari cites of plums. 6O,OO0 peaches and nee tarines, 800 almonds, 5000 walnuts 5000 apples, 2,O00 grapes, 2,OOO pears and thousands of different kinds oi berries, flowers and vegetables 1T equal prOfuSion.

WEALTH IN BAMBOO GROVES
Their Cultivation in the Southern States Is Expected Soon to Be
 Recognized Pr ocedure.

One thinks more readily of an Amer ican farm with wood lOI than of one with bamboo grove, but bamboo groves may yet become common in the southern states, if the idea of "ln struct the farmer" in the desirabllItA of planting them makes reasonable progress. It will be a new idea to the farmer, and he will have to think 1t over. Meantime the country has one important bamboo grove hOurishinS in the state of Georgia. where it stands in the custody of the United States department of agriculture. to serve as an object lesson. The young bamboo shoots provide an early spring vege- table, said to have d flavor much like that of sweet corn. and the stalks have WiGe range of uses which should make bamboo grove profit able. It is worth the farmers consid eratiOn. for example, that millions or small canes are yearly imported from Japan. and fishing rods made out of them. for which the United States pays annually about S5OOO,OOO.

Hard to Account for Figures

Statistics have recently been pub Iishcd in Germany which are so strik- ing that the Medical Records Geneva (Switzerland) correspondent says they ''nced cOnfirmatiOn.' It is stated that for every 1000 boys born in the later years of the war. 1,OS6 girls have been born. Before the war the ratio was 1000 boys to 1,O24 girls. "NOth- ing" writes the correspondent "is known with certainty as to the con ditions that determine sex in the hu' man species, but there is quite large amount of evidence in support Of the generalization that during wars and famineS. when the conditions are gen erally adverse. especially with re@"rd to nutrition. the proportion of male relative to female births increases. If there is any foundation for this gen. eralizatiOn. then we must conclude either that the figures are WI >n@ or that Germany was mighty well nour- ished during the war; or else that some entirely aberrant influence was al work"

Koran Brought Up to Date.

It is not surprising that most of the Arab population should be illiterate since the language used in writing and prirRing is literary Arabic, the very same in which the Koran was com. posed 12 centuries ago. It has been preserved intact. while the Spokel tongue has gradually changed. as spoken tongues will Literary Arabic today is about as much like the an cient language as Latin is like French Ninety per cent of the people do not understand the language in which the books are written.
 An interesting experiment has been begun by Rev. Percy Smith. a mis- sionary in North Africa. who is trans lating the Bible and the hymns of the church into the ordinary speech ot the people. instead of in literary Arabic-Christian Herald.

WELLINGTON South WillingtOn

Willimantic News in the Norwich Dulletin.-Jerry Pardus, 20, a luton maker of South Wilmington, was ar rested late Monday night as person who committed the assault upon l6 year old David Kallenberg of COlum- | ia Saturday evening on the South Coventry road nearly opposite the Windham almshouse. Young Kallen- berg, in company with his 12 year old brother, Solomon, was driving load of hay on an OK sled from South Cov- entry to their home in Columbia when a Ford touring car driven by Pardus gument followed as to the right of way and Pardus stepped from the fender of his machine to the load of hay and pounded the elder Kallenberg boy with his fist. Purdus was arrested by Lieut.. Allan McArthur at the Kallen- berg home, where he had gone with his father in an attempt to smooth over matters by a cash settlement. This was not satisfactory to Samuel Kallenberg, father of the injured boy, who wanted the young man brought to justice, and the arrest followed. Pardus entered plea of guilty to an assault charge in police court Tuesday morning and said he guessed he lost his head. His differed somewhat from the Kallenberg boys story in regard to how much the boys had turned out to let him by, and said his machine was lodged in snOwdrift in such a way that he could neither back up nor go forward. He told the court that he was next to the eldest of the family of nine, three of whom were working. He was fined $5 and costs and sentenced to 15 days in jail. Judgment was suspended on the lat ter account and he was placed on probation for three months. He paid the fine and costs, amounting tOS1675

FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name in Book Published in 1740, but Were Smoked Be-
 fore That Time.

The earliest known mention of cigars Is in book published in 174O under the title of 'Distresses and Adventures of John Cockburn." It ap- pears that Cockburn was cast on des- ert island in the Bay of Honduras, from which he swan to the mainland, and thence travelled afoot to Porto Bello, distance of 2,6OO miles. Here he met some friars who gave him some "seegars" to smoke. "These," he says, "are some leaves of tobacco rolled up in some manner that serves both as pipe and the tobacco itself" Though this is the earliest date at which cigars appear to be mentioned by that name, so far back as 149S two soldiers sent by Columbus to ex- plore Cuba told their companions on their return how the natives carried in their mouths a lighted firebrand made from the leaves of a certain herb, rolled up in maize leaves.

Farm Bureau Notes.

1t is with regret that we have to
announce that the short course at
Ames had to be called off on account
of the flu being so bad. 1t was a
disappointment to several Decatur
county residents and especially so to
the boys who were slated to attend
as winners of the corn and pig club
work. The boys however will be
given a trip OF equal value Should
the short course be postponed indeT-
initely. We hope that it will be held
later and that they get to go.
We take great pleasure in an
nOuncing that we have received the
returns from the wool that was POOL
ed and sold here in this county last
year and all cOnsignOrs will have re-
ceived their checks by the time this
is in print. There are several of the
accounts that show grade right up
to the top and which brought 7Sc
per pound. The wool averaged IS. IL
cents per pound net after all ex-
penses were paid, and all those who
consigned are strong in favor of the
cooperative movement and the

any other way than buy on large
margin to get out whole while a
farmers cooperative association can
handle their own product and not
meet the same reverses that the
shipper does. Then too it will be an
education to the farmer in shipping
his own products as he Will through
