Without HuS k

SANTA ROSA, Calf, Jan. 10
Seven wonders of the plant world
are Luther Burbank's 1922 contribu-
lions TO horticultural science.
Topping the list as an agricultural
innovation of inestimable importance
is the "Opaline." an oat that hulls
out like wheat when threshed and,
instead of weighing 45 pounds to
the busheL weighs 60. This result,
Burbank explains, has been accom-
plished through the practical elimi-
nation of husk with incidental bene-
MT TO the grain itself
For some seasons he has been
working on the "hulless oat" and il
is considered one of his great con-
tributions 10 American farmers.
His six other wonders" he lists
as follows:
Peruvian winter grass. which can
withstand frosts and produce an
enormous amount of feed during the
cold winter months. thus insuring
green feed for cattle,
A mammoth Towering artichoke,
with flowers as lovely as roses and
several times as large.
A ''prickly poppy" known as the
MaripOsa, which grows spines as
does a cactus.
A Brazilian tOmatO-like fruit, with
thorny plant, but bearing an orange
colored product which has much of
the taste of the tomato.
a "super-sweet' corn of 70 rowed
variety, which Burbank declares to
be the sweetest corn ever perfected.
The orange sunberry." something
new and having the flavor of the
huckleberry and burberry.
Three minor creations include a
lemOn-cOlOred HIBISCUS, the molten
fire" flower and a new dwarf sun
flower.
In all of his recent experiments
Burbank has been aided by his
young wife, who is as interested i'm
gardening ventures as the wizard
himself.

SOLDIER WAS SHOT

Credible Witness Relates Exc
cutiOn Not Found in
War Records.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-George
Washington YarbrOugh, high
school teacher of Roanoke, Ala, and
ystSa as the welterweight champion
Of the A. r. T., told a senate investi-
eating committee Thursday that he
had witnessed the shooting of an
American soldier by a firing squad
near the Chateau Thierry region in
July. 1918.
Regarded by the committee as
probably the most clear-headed Of
all the former service men testifying
concerning the alleged hanging of
soldiers without trial. Yarbrough,
himself a reluctant witness. declared
the sight Of the man being led 10 his
death with hands tied behind his
back, made him forget for tbe mo-
ment the screening of enemy shells
flying overhead. The witness said he
was close enough when the officer
commanding the squad gave the or
der 10 fire, TO hear the soldier. barely
20 years old plead to be permitted to
die, with his eyes unbound.
Members of the committee and
Col Walter a Bethel. assistants
Judge advocate general of the army,
listened closely to the recital. for evil
dence from war department sources
heretofore presented failed TO show
where men had met death that way.
Yarbrough was pressed by Col
Bethel. who declared the witness was
extremely intelligent, that he was
not attempting 10 break down his
story, but seeking to obtain some
data which might enable him TO
check up on the shooting. The wit
ness explained that he could give
the names of none Of the men with
him at the time because they were
not attached 10 his outfit.
There had been camp reports, the
witness said. that the soldier was
shot for neglect of duty in battle.
Asked by Chairman Brandegee If the
shooting led him TO believe there had
been abuse OF power. Yarbrough re-
Piled: Nothing whatever as he as

squad was carrying out cSders. But
