 The institute is now approaching a completion of it's research upon cac- ti,' Dr. Merriam said. Two illustrat- ed volumes on this interesting and i'm portant plant of the western desert country have been completed and have A like survey is being made simultan- already been placed on the shelves of the Tucson library. The third vol ume will appear before the end of the summer
 The uses to which this little un- derstood plant may be put. are too numerous to speak of here. but stock men only in recent years have begun to realize its importance as an emer- gency food for their livestock in the time of severe drouth. I understand that your cattlemen are finding it a valuable remedy at the present time"
