varieties Of pistache and fruits.
DR.. Whitehouse was very success
full in his search, and brought back
seeds Of apricot, apple, melons. al
monds and pistache nut. The melon
seed will be used by plant breeders
who are trying TO combat melon wilt
by breeding new wilt-resistant
strains OF high quality. The apple
and apricot are TO be tried out TO
determine their value as stocks and
in addition they may prove Of value
TO plant breeders.
Gets Seeds
After the division OF the expedition
at Samarkand, Mr.. Westover con-
t.nued his journey westward to Bak-
hara and Chadjui. and thence 70 the
north across the great Karakum
desert TO the Aral sea- He also COW
cred the territory east Of the Black
sea. and obtained samples Of alfal-
ia seed from almost every section
of T~urkestan, including various ar
ieties Of wild alfalfa growing in the
mountains. In addition he brought
back seeds of many grasses and wild
legumes, many Of which are ex-
pected to prove adaptable TO the
semi-arid sections Of the West and
Southwest.
The area traverSed by this ex-
petition was the seat Of the worlds
Oldest civilization, and centuries ago
was supporting a dense population.
II was in this section that the SCI
ence OF agriculture was first devel-
oped. and though war and politi-
cal changes have to a great degree
eliminated the culture Of a bygone
day. the results Of the work Of the
early agriculturiSts and h~orticultur-
lists have not been completely disSi-
pated. It is regarded as a fertile
field for research by those scientists
Of the Department of Agriculture
seeking new crops for the Amer
lean farmer. and no section of the
world has contributed more to Amer
lean agriculture in this respect.
II is very probable that a num-
Der Of the pistache seed brought
back by DR.. Whitehouse will be
planted at the experiment farm
near Weslaco in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, and that other plant
ing Will be made in the Laredo or
Eagle Pass sections. These paintings
will be handled under the direction
Of the Departments experts and dis
tribution Of trees made direct from

Samples
BY r. L. SEXTON

WASHINGTON, FeD. l4-Seed OF
b new and highly prolific variety OF
psstache nut, which It is believed
viii prove adaptable TO the soil and
climatic conditions Of South Texas,
have been received by the Bureau Of
Plant Introduction from Mesopo-
tarnia and propagation Of this var
iety upon a commercial scale in the
Southwest Is expected to have the
aid Of the Department Of Agricul-
tlre.
Announcement was made by the
Plant Introduction Bureau that the
seed would not be distributed. They
will be planted at the various ex-
pertinent stations in South Texas,
Arizona and California, where they
will receive expert care. and the
young trees will be distributed to
individuals whom the Department
IS assured will not neglect them.
The new variety was discovered in
Mesopotania by DR.. w. Z. White
house. head OF one Of the Depart
ment's expeditions. and only a Ii
mited number of the seed obtained.
The nut is larger than the average
pistache Of commerce. and the trees
bear prolifically. Climatic and soil
conditions In the native habitat OF
this variety are similar in practi-
eally all respects to those Of South
Texas, and it Is believed it can be
produced upon a commercial scale,
In that section. thereby reducing

countries.
