Grow More luxuriantly.
With stations established at four
feet, 1890 feet and at sea level, plants
have been transferred from one place
to another. and the results Of the cul-
tural experiments of fourteen years
have now been complied.
In these experiments plants from the
mountain tops. some from height Of
close to one and one-half miles above
sea level, were found to grow much
more luxuriantly. producing more
leaves, flowers and fruits at sea level
than they had In their native habitat.
These plants were not cultivated, pro-
tected or fostered in any way In their
new situations. Once placed, they
were to all intents and purposes wild

ties and take chances as before.

Washington. Sept. 2l.--Plans for
an attack upon the provisions OF the
tax bill as amended by the senate
finance committee were under dis
cussion At conference OF demo-
cratic members OF the committee.
A minority report was prepared
by Senator Walsh OF Massachusetts,
aud Gerry OF Rhode Island. two OF

This report, which probably will be
ready tomorrow. will be signed by
all the democrats. Senator SIM

democrat OIL the committee, is ex-
pected to present the report.
Attacks upon the proposed repeal
OF the excess profits tax and the re-
duction in the higher surtaXes are
intended TO feature the minority re-
port. The democrats will charge
that the bill is designed to give ad-
vantage to the large taxpayers and
the corporations. but without cor
responding benefit to the small tax
payers.
1t is considered quite likely that
the senate will vote to repeal freight
and passenger transportation taxes
entirely. instead OF cutting them in
two as proposed in the senate conf
