PLANTS NOW PATENTABLE
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

/ One Of the largest fields for work in
! this connection Is with medicinal herbs.
Although herbs were the earliest sources
Of medicines and although they have
been experimental with and studied
even since. it Is felt that there remains
much to be done in breeding plants to
produce the particular oils desired. An
entire school Of horticulturists works on
this type Of research.
Botanists and scientists exploring
| iungles and iittle known parts Of the
world not infreQuently find entirely new
plants, not known TO the world before.
| The discoverer Of such new plant
cannot at once take out q patent on
| that discovery. But If he can bring it
acclimatize 1t and induce 1t to grow,
then he can take out q patent making
it his property.
Many grasses, for example, have been
| brought into the United States and
made to grow where no native grass
seemed to do well. This Is especially
true in certain range country. II the
horticulturist can find some wild,
foreign grass, then cross 1t with some
native variety and produce q grass
which can be acclimatiZed as a new
variety, it may become his property.
All such work In the past has been
done either by amateurs or by Govern
ment scientists. Amateurs have done
tremendous amount, especially with
flowers. The farmer, the fruit grower,
the stockman, all are too busy making
a living TO spend much time on horti-
cultural experimentation. Furthermore,
when q discovery Is made, there Is no
| present way Of obtaining q sure reward
| for what may have been years Of labor.
| In the case of q new fruit or flower,
the inventor may sell shoots at the first
for very high prices, but after that his
market is gone. The grower of stock
from the purchased Shoots then can
himself sell.
Incentive to Investors.
Under the plant patent law, the
| patentee knows that he will have q IT.
| year market and that no one but him
| self may lawfully sell shoots from his
patented plants. He can afford to sell
distribution of the improved variety
and still be continuously protected.
Plant breeders, having this protec-
ton, now can attract capital to their
undertakings because investors will
know that any discovery viii be safe
property and pay dividends for II years,
provided 1t Is sufficiently valuable to
command q market.

SAVING THE FRAGMENTS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D., IL. D..
Bishop of Washington

about the limitations it lays upon US.
Were it possible to do so without
physical hurt, we should probably re-
duce the hours Of rest and repose to a
minimum. This whole matter concerns
our every interest, physical, mental and
spiritual, particularly the latter.
We are being frequently told that
the Christian institutions, notably the
church. must adapt themselves to the
new concepts of life. For the sake
of affording more time for business,
pleasure and social indulgences, we
must abbreviate activities that have
to do with things spiritual. In our
own personal cultivation of the things
Of the soul we allow little time for
reading Of the Bible and prayer. To
many of us the Bible itself Is sealed
book. One of the basic reasons for all
these conditions Is that we have no
sense of the value of fragments. We
waste minutes and hours daily that,
if wisely used, would prove of infinite
service to us. A well planned life Is
one that not only has its well defined
periods for special purposes, but one
that finds profitable occupation for
every free moment. We recall that
presiden Eliot Of Hazard once said
the consistent use of Is minutes each
day in reading the best Of literature
would furnish the mind with rich
store of the worlds best thought.
When the Master fed the multitude,
even though the supplies were greater
than the need, He demanded that they
should gather up the fragments. He
would not permit Himself or the people
He fed to indulge in waste. Herein
Is q great lesson for all of us and it Is
a lesson that is imperatively demanded
today. Life can be made so much
greater, fuller and more satisfying If
well planned and well ordered. No
matter what our estate may be, nor
yet our opportunities, we have spread
before US a wealth Of material that
can supply the demands of our physical,
mental and spiritual nature. Gather
up the fragments that remain, that
nothing he lost"

A large industrial corporation, manu-
featuring an article In universal use
though somewhat in the luxury class
has just taken on 1000 additional work
men and expects to bring the total
number of employees from ten to twenty
thousand by the first of August. The
purpose is to speed up production which
will call for the expenditure Of millions
of dollars. The president Of the COM
pany explained that this is done In the
belief that the present business de-
preston is psychological and Is false
indication Of the American public's buy
ing power. "If the pessimists will 90
back to work they win realize there is
nothing fundamentally wrong with bust
ness or the country" ne said. People
viii spend more. We are going to pro-
coed on that basis until we are con-
WINGED that we are wrong"
For at least six months, which covers
the period since the secondary stock
market collapse last Winter, merchan-
dising has been extremely slack. In
every line of business, with practically
no exceptions, there has been q marked
decrease in sales. Yet throughout this
time Of poor business feeling has pre-
vailed that the cause was really, as the
New Jersey corporation head declares,
psychological rather than purely eco
nomic. There have been, Of course,
heavy additions to the unemployment
class as business enterprises have cur
tailed operations and discharged en-
ployes, both artisans and white collar
men," and those who have thus been
dismissed from their occupations have
been in no position to buy as they have
been buying for several years past.
The example set by the New Jersey
corporation is good one and 1t should
be helpful in restoring buying conf
dence. II other corporations which have
for half q year and more been reduc-
ing forces and curtailing production
would follow this example generally, the
unemployment percentage would be very
quickly reduced back to normal and the
buying power Of the country would be
restored. That way lies return Of genu-
Inc and sound prosperity.

the fragments that remain"
Economy Is a basic law Of life. We
| live in q world that witnesses to the
conservation Of energy, that tells us
that nothing Is ever wasted or lost,
On the one hand We see the processes
of destruction, and on the other those
of rehabilitation. In our physical life
the waste is constantly being taken care
of, and the renewals that take place
day by day and night by night make
good the losses and restore the spent
powers. The Psychologist tells us that
the whole physical structure Is literally
rebuilt again and again in the course
of our existence. On every hand we
witness a system Of economy that ex-
tends over the whole area of Life. The
Divine Creator wastes nothing. Man
alone is careless and wasteful. Some one
recently wrote about us as a people and
described us as in a peculiar sense "the
most wasteful people in the world. |"
This Is probably due to the fact that
as q nation we have been signally
blessed. Our resources are so rich and
abundant, and seemingly inexhaustible,
that we use them with abandon. In
some respects we overproduce, and
from our granaries we furnish ample
food, not only for our own increasing
needs, but for the needs of multitudes
beyond our borders. Living in the
midst of such seeming prodigality, We
grow careless, and we spend both our
energy, our means and sometimes our
talents, without reference to economy.
Probably the chief danger in this situa-
ton is its effect upon our youth. The
increasing luxuries, the extension of our
opportunities through modern inven-
tions, together with the larger liberty
of action afforded lis all cOnSDire tn
make young people enjoy not only
greater freedom, but a greater tendency
to expend time, energy and means with
out stint. There is little of frugaity,
less of simplicity and nothing of
economy in modern tendencies and ways
Of living. We are even extravagant
about the use of time and complain

Serious economic reasons lay behind
the agitation which recently resulted In
the enactment by Congress Of the Town
send law, statute enabling the inven-
/ tor or diScoverer Of q new variety OF
plant life to patent it. Under the
terms Of the measure, the horticultur-
ist who creates by grating or cross
| ing q new kind of fruit or vegetable, q
new type Of flower or q new tree may
take out patent which, for a period of
II years, enables him to protect his
discovery as his property. He alone
has the right to propagate the new
plant and to sell 1t to others.
From the terms of the law are ex-
cepted plants grown from seeds and
tuber- propagated plants such as DO
tatoeS, but all plants which are the re-
suit OF graftings and crossings, pro-
duced from slips or cuttings are pat
entable.
One Of the vital economic reasons be-
hind the act is the advance Of insect
pests upon the plant life Of the Ma
ton. Each. year sees millions of dol
| lars worth of fruit trees and timber
| trees destroyed. The japanese beetle
has become q serious menace. The
phoney peach disease has cost the
Georgia peach growers fortunes. The
mysterious chestnut blight has destroy
ed every chestnut forest in the East
| removing millions Of dollars worth OF
timber from our natural assets.
While the Department of Agriculture
| scientists have worked indefatigably to
curb the pests themselves, horticuituf-
lists have a field in developing disease
resistant varieties of plants. For ex-
ample, II horticulturist could discover
| cotton plant which would resist the
ravages yof the boil weevil the value to
the Nation would be incalculable. Such
benefactor should be able to reap q
reward from his discovery, the theory
OF this new law is, just as reward
was due the inventor of the telephone.
HorticulturistS have been working on
disease resistant plants indefinitely and
some have been developed. All new
discoveries will be able TO capitalize
their inventions.
The annual loss of fruit from untime-
~ frosts Is stupendous. The breeding
of cold resisting fruit trees is a constant
ambition Of horticulturists.
Opportunities In Many Fields.
The same theory operates in respect
to timber trees. The chestnut blight
was parasite of almost microscopic
minutenesS yet, with astonishing speed,
1t killed thousands of square miles of
forests. Tireless efforts now are being
made to discover types Of chestnut trees
which viii be immune. In the Northern
sections Of the country, early Autumns
bring frost sometimes before the apple
harvest and the fruit is bitten on the
trees. Cold resisting apples are being
sought.
Previous work done by horticulturists
has shown that the Succulence and
flavor of fruits can be improved to so
noticeable an extent that the new graft
can be regarded as q new variety If
not new species. The results of such
labor are patentable under the present
law.
