PRESBYTERIANS
MEET SUNDAY
•if it were not fur plants there
could be no lift- on the earth or ia
the sea," Dr. B. H. Harris said in hia
, illustrated lecture, "Texan Wild
Flowers," which was given Wednesday
morning at the assembly hour.
"Plant life precedes any other type
of life on earth."
Dr. Harris said that food for1
human lieingn depended absolutely
| on plant life. He related that dur-
ing the early mouths of the world
^conflict, in ulxiut 1D1* our nation
and her allies decided to find out
| how much food wu; available in the
world. They made an investigation
of all available food supplies und
found that there wu in all of the
world, counting all liv< animals und
: plants, in the form of cunncd goods,
'etc., just enough food to last ten
i months.
The first flower illustrated during
tin- lecture was a hrub commonly
known es the "cat-claw." The speaker
pointed out that this plant wus from
the legume family.
"The honey crop in southwest
Texas would be u failure if it were
.not for this plunt," lu- said.
A plant found on tin frontier ami;
| prairies und known a the "devils pin
cushion" is a menace in some piuces.
but u help to some districts, accord-
ing to Dr. Hurris. He illustrated this
last fact when he mentioned a candy
industry thut has grown in Kl Paso.
The candy is made from this plunt.
Dr. Harris slated that the fox-
glove, sometimes called "bearded
tongue" is a prominent flower of
New Mexico and Colorado, being the
state flower of the latter. The colors
arc said to range from scarlet to
white.
The Texas bluebonnet, the stute
flower for thirty-three years, was
'chosen tin- Lone Star State flower
in preference to the open cotton
boll, the speaker said.
The mountain daisy, which is Haiti
to be found in place a along Luke
Worth, or anywhere a limestone soil
■ is prominent, was illustrated. Among
the other plants shown during the
lecture were the salt ccivar shrub,
prickly pear, wild flux, the shame
weed, the yellow evening primrose,
the Indian paint brush.
