CORN FROM GRASS.
Luther Burbank Causes Transi-
ton in 18 Years.


Nature is sometimes slow, but
always sure. On the other hand
that magician of the plant world.
Luther Burbank, is not only sure,
but sometimes exceedingly swift,
comparatively speaking, as his
latest exploit clearly proves.
This consisted in taking the seed
OF a wild grass, teosinte. and
through continued and intensive
application of scientific methods
Of plant breeding producing per
1cct ears of corn in Is years.
This consisted in taking in tax.
ing the seed of wild grass teo-
slnte, and through continued and
intensive application of scientific
methods Of plant breeding pro-
ducing perfect ears of corn at
the end of Is years.
Mr.. Burbank s experiment was
carried on to test the theory long
held by botanists that teosinte
was the aboriginal form of maize.
That this was SO can no longer
be doubted III the light of Mr.
Burbank remarkable achieve
ment. While the ears of corn he
produced from teosinte do not
cake rank with the superior vari-
etleS grown in America today.
they compare favorably with
those the first white settlers in
this country found the Indians
cultivatmg extensively.
When the Indian first discOv-
cred troSintct it bore tiny ears
with two rows Of small corn-like
kernels, each kernel being encas-
cd in ii separate sheath or pod. on
Il cob two to four inches long.
The cob itself was less in thick
ness than Il lead pencil. Finding
that these kernels were good TO
eat, the Indians turned their at
'rntion 10 planting and growing
teoslnte. They crudcly but cffec-
lWcly scratched the soil where be-
fore teosinte had relied upon the
frostS to loostcn the ground for
the seed, and doubled the chance
or the baby plan to grow. They
protected ii from the weeds and
animals and planted it III patches
where formerly it had struggled
here and there as best he could.
Under these conditions, and
also because the Indians, season
after season, saved the best ker-
nels for seed, the tiny teosinte
ears gradually heightened them
selves TO accommodate the i'll
crcaSing size of the kernels and
their increasing numbers. In
timc, too. the SheathS or pods
covering the kernels disappeared,
SO that when the white settlers
came they found not the tiny
white tcoSntc. but Indian corn or
maize.
How many centuries were re
! qulrcd to bring about this evolu-
tlon can only be cOnJectured. Ii
is not even known how long the
Indians had been cultivating tins
improved corn. That it was long
before the appearance of the Eu
ropeanS, however, is evident not
only from its early and wide
spread cultivation by tribes of
| the area now embraced in the
! United States, but from the fact
that Indications of it's cultivation
are found in mounds and in the
ancient pueblo ruins and cliff
dwellings,.
