PLANT

Magicians of fable have been out
done by scientists at the University
of California experimenting with the
x-ray applied to the sex cells of to-
bacco.
For while the magician was able to
grow giant plants with wave of the
wand, the scientists seem to have per-
fected a method of propagating plants
of giant size which may in turn re-
produce themselves.
By thousands of years, perhaps
millions, they have hastened the proc
ess of evolution by developing in one
season tobacco plant almost twice
as tall as those untreated by the X
ray.
Plants now being grown from the
seed of plants treated with the
strange life-giving ray promise of de-
veloping to an equally giant size. If
this is later proved, the scientists will
have made an economic contribution
to mankind the money value of which
isealmost beyond calculation, 1t was
declared at the university.
The experimenters were Prof. i. d..
Goodspeed, botany department, and
Prof A. r. Olson, chemistry depart
ment. They term their work IAN IN
vestigation of the laws of heredity
and evolution" Their experiments
take on more than ordinary signifi-
canoe in view of the successful ex-
periments made on the sex cells of
the fruit fly by Prof. T. H. Muller of
the University of Texas. He sug-
gested that the x-ray treatment of sex
cells may provide a method of pro-
ducing improved types of animals of
economic Importance.
The Berkeley experiments grew out
of a simple rose grating in the home
garden Of Prof. Olson. The flower

Col. A. J. Mdcnab Is
Assigned to Mexico

Col. A. J. Macnab, Jr., former COM
mander of the 25th Infantry at No
gales, has been appointed military at
tache to the new American Ambas-
sador Morrow at Mexico City, accord
ing to word received this week.
Since leaving Nogales, Colonel Mac
nab has been attached to the office of

partment at Washington.
During his residence in Nogales,

eral Obregon who will undoubtedly be
the next president of Mexico.

Harvey Busses To
DetOur East Via
Globe and Phoenix

The Santa Fe Railway company,
through the proper officials, has let it
be known that as soon as the Rice
Springerville road is completed and in
good condition for traff1A, the Fred
Harvey system will esIvend its bus
lines from Albuquerque through
Springerville, the White Mountains,
Globe and Miami, to Phoenix
This proposed service will be SINH
lar to the Indian tours conducted by
the company throughout northern
Arizona and New Mexico, by which
tens of thousands of tourists have
been given a larger and closer view
of the southwest during the past few
years.
The Santa Fe operates scores Of
palatial omnibuses in this section Of
it's transportation department, accom-
modating many thousands of visitors
each year.
The plan Of the railway company
contemplates transferring passengers
from its trains at Albuquerque, TAX
ing them over the scenic route in
busses, and placing them back on its
trains at Phoenix.
The earlier the hlce-Sprlngervllle
highway is completed, the quicker the
communities along the route mem
toned will be receiving this desirable
and valuable service of the Santa Fe
company.
The state highway department will
proceed with the construction Of the
Whiteriver-Cooley section of the road
as early as is practicable. 1t is also
to be hoped that the Gila county board
of supervisors will see to it that the
section of the Rice Springerville road
lying in this county is brought up to
standard simultaneously with the COM
pletion Of the portion to be built by
the Miami Silver Belt.

Asks State Aid
In Farm Relief

Farm relief is not likely to be ac-
complished by single legislative
measure, nor are federal laws suffic-
lent to cover the whole field of farm
legislation, in the opinion of Secre-
tary Jardine.
Federal laws, he believes, have been
so emphasized in recent years that
state farm legislation has been over
looked.
Expressing his views in an article
published in the Oklahoma Stockman
and Farmer, the agriculture secretary
defended his own plan of farm relief
through stabilization corporations
under the direction of the federal farm
loan board. Replying to critics who
have termed his plan "a raid on the
treasury and a shameless subsidy"
because of its proposed revolving fund
advanced by the government to set
it in operation, he said there was pre-
cedent for the fund in the federal
farm loan and federal reserve systems
IF there were no way of repaying
to the government loans from the
fund, there would be ample ground
for the charge that the plan is a
raid on the treasury he added. "If
there is way, the charge is un-
founded. / believe there is a way.
Safety of the public money ad-
vanced out of the revolving fund over
a period of years depends on the
ability of the corporation to sell at
a price sufficiently above the pur-
chase price to pay interest on the
loans and other costs of storing. This,
! believe, is decidedly possible, since
this corporation would operate only
in years when clearly needed to mini
mize price depression due to abnor-
mally large surpluses. There may
be years when there would be some
loss.
"Rut any loss could be paid out
OF the reserve built up in years of
profitable operations.
"The longtime aim of this plan,
beyond that of minimizing price
fluctuations, is to build large-scale.
farmer-owned business institutions
handling the major farm commodities.
Future prosperity in farming depends
to large degree on the growth of
strong business institutions to afford
agriculture a bargaining power and
industry, and to give the farmer a
consciousness of business power, a
sense of majesty over his affairs, and
a better voice in matters of economic
policy"

TRAVEL AT PETRIFIED
FOREST IN OCTOBER

According to William Cox Buehler,
custodian of the Petrified Forest ma
tional park, so far this month 1,026
automobiles have visited the park,
with total of 2,318 registrations at
the museum and 102 campers spend
ing the night.
These figures show an increase over
the same period last year, when 737
cars entered the park, 1920 people
registered and only "a parties camped
for the night.
The increase in the number of visi-
tors to the petrified forest has been
consistently maintained from year to
year, and despite the belief in each
year past that the peak had been
reached, a greater number visit the
forest each eason.-Holbrook Tribune.
