Burbank was active "until his

and his fervent wish while he lay

Dean of Plant Breeders
Acknowledged the dean of plant
breeders and leader in modern cre-
ative plant development, tho name
of Luther Burbank became a house-
wold word -throughout the civilized
world. Virtually his whole life was
reevoted to scientific plant breeding
land many of his more than 100,000
‘Experiments with various forma of
(vegetation attained such marvelous
results that they won him the title
er “Plant Wizard.”
Fa Early In Ilfo Burbank evinced a
Treat love for growing things, se-
Mecting plants rather than animals
Ye his pets. His first notable sue-
less was achieved at the age of If.
. then he happened to find a seed
all of the Early Rose potato,
akhich rarely bears seed. From this
developed the world-famous
Burbank potato that has spread to
every portion of the globe and
Sihich la Mid to exert a greater In-
WAuence upon the food supply of
Toumanity than any other single
plant.
‘Soopafter breeding thla potato,
Bhol brought him neither fame

Shoved to California, where he ob.
Mined employment as a firm hand.

“own of Santa Rosa, some 50 miles
forth of San Francisco. . With thia
Almall beginning he undertook the
Series of oxperlmonte which Jong
sad been uppermost in his mind.
Thereafter hla work waa continu-
. Jha and tireless, occupying Nearly
CH hours a day ea the average.
Y Born M Massachusetts
1 Burbank was born at Lancaster.
Class., March 7,, 1849, son of Samuel
and Oliver (Ross), of English
find Scotch ancestry. He was ths
7th of 11 children bora on his
Aather’s 200-acre farm. He attend-
“id the Lancaster Academy, from
Which he waa an honor graduate.
-Next to the potato, the accom-
Dishment which brought first fams
„ Burbank was the spineless cac-
aus, whereby he turned a worth-
Wiress desert growth into a valuable
“brage and fruiting plant. In rec-
Dgnition of thla work he received
a 1912 a. United States’ grant, con-
gress under special act turning over
. 1680 acres of non-irrigable land to
A located either in California. Ne-
rida or Arizona.
It has been estimated that Bur-
tank’s 100,000 or more experiments
With plant life involvel the plant-
DE. pollenation. observation and
propagation or destruction of a bil-
on Individual vegetable growths.
through months and years of par
tient and frequently discouraging
experiments.
Wonderful as many of Burbank's
achievements with vegetable, plant
and flower life seem to the layman,
the method* by which they were
accomplished were not in them-
selves remarkable. Patience was
the chief requisite to bi* success.
.Deciding first what hs wished to
create, re-make or improve upon in
the vegetable world, he began by
carefully selecting robust specie
msns, allowing them to go to seed,
then experimenting with tho seeds
under widely different contitions et
climate, fertilisation and nourish-
ment. Tbs product would in turn
be submitted to radical changes
from its natural elements and the
product ot this would undergo fur-
ther experimentation and so the ar-
tificial evolution progressed until
the final result either inst ths wiz-
ard’s requirements or was aban-
doned a* useless.
‘ Combination of Methods
When experiments with seeds
alons were not entirely satisfac-
tory, grafting upon the seeds or
upon fresh young shoots often wae
employed. It waa through a com-
bination of these methods, fortified
by his inexhaustible patience, that
enabled Burbank to Impart delight-
ful odors to naturally ill-smelling
flowers: to grow gigantic planta
from dwarf varieties, and to pro-
duce a perfect calla lily only one
Inch In diameter when full grown.
These are but a few of the queer
anomalys resulting from tho here-
tofore unheard Of liberties bs took
with nature’s vegetation.
Burbank’s experimental farms'at
Banta Rosa and Sebastopol, a near-
by town, became a Mecca for
statesmen, kings, princes, philan-
threpists, * horticulturists, biolo-
gists, botanists sad humanitarians
as the fame of their owner spread.
Never of a commercial turn. Bur-
bank permitted an association
known aa The Luther Burbank So-
clety. chartered by the state of Cal-
ifornia and endowed by wealthy pa-
trona, to disseminate the knowledge
of planta and. vegetables which hs
worked out
in addition to the congressional
grant of land, his work was recog-
nized by the Carnegie Foundation
in 1905 by a gift of $10,000 annually
for a period of 10 years to Insure
a continuation of hla experiments.
In 1921, whsn the city of Bants
Rosa completed a new $300,000
park, it was namsd after Luther
Burbank. He turned the first shovel
of earth .in the construction, and
later Tale out the gardens, which

- Honored By California
The state of California also hon-
ored Its distinguished resident some
years ago by naming March T. Bur-
bank's birthday, as Bird and Arbor
Day and tha occasion has sines been
celebrated as a school holiday
throughout the state.
Burbank married Elisabeth J.
Waters of Hastings, Mich., Dec.
21, 1916. $
As a New Tsar's gift to the world,
the naturalist on Jan. 1. 1936, an-
nounced a group of new flowers
and plants.
One of three was the new camas-
sia, a striking blue flower, which
exceeded all others of its kind In
beauty and ability te multiply.
From his Rainbow corn hs produced
the Rainbow teosinte, a plant that
grows eight feet in height and
bears eight to fourteen ears to each
The third was a naw giant cac-
tux flowering zinnia, white among
tho others wore a hybrid tritamas,
a new species of the torch lily:
en improved strain of tho Sheets
daily, much larger and more color-
ful than tho old, and a new kind
of fluffy giant aster.
“I can My that I am saitsfled

tors at hla gardena. "for I must bs

has been one of my busiest. I have

Religious Controversy.
that each a prominent man a* Mr.
Burbank should adopt thia attitude,
aa it ia contrary to the sentiment
of 99 per cent of the American peo-
ple today."
Appearing in the pulpit of the
First Congregational Church In San
Francisco, Burbank declared he had
“nominated” himself an “Infidel” so,
as-torcauselpeople to think.
ML reiterate: The religion of meat |
people is what they would like to
believe, not what they do believe,
and very few atop to examine ita
foundation," he said.
“The idea that a good God would
send people to a burning hell la ut-
terly damnable to me." Tho raving*
of insanity; superstition gone to
seed. 1 don’t want to have any-
thing to do with each a God. I am
a lover of men and Christ as a man
and hla work, and all things that
help humanity, but, nevertheless,
just aa he wae an infidel then, 1
am an infidel today.
“I prefer and claim the right to
worship the infinite everlasting al-
mighty God of thla vast universe
as revealed to us gradually step by
step by ths demonstrable truths of
our savior science.
"Do you think Christ or Moham-
med. Confucious, Baal or even the
gods of ancient mythology are
dead? Not so. Do you think Per-
Iciss, Marcus, Aurelius, Moses,
Shakeopoars, Spinosa, Aristotle,
Socrates, Fiato. Empedocles, Hum-
Boldt, Darwin, Tolstoi, Franklin,
Emerson are dead? No. Their very
personality lives and will Uva for-
ever in our lives and all of those
who follow us. AU of them ars
with us today. No one livea who
is net influenced more er leas by
these great ones accordlag to the
capacity of the cup of knowledge
which they bring to their over-
flowing fountains to be filled.
“All plants, animals and man are
already in eternity traveling across
the face of time, whence we know
not, whither who is able to say
Let ua have one world at a time
and let us make the journey one of
joy to our follow passengers and
just as convenient end happy for
theta es we can and trust the rent
as we trust life.
"Let us read the Bible without
the ill-fitting colored spectacles of
theology, just as we read other
books, using oufown juds snt and
reason, listening ts ths voles with.
In—not to the noisy babble with,
out.”
Claims Power to Cure..
Following this, ths naturalist
claimed-he had the power to cure
the ill by the “laying on of hands."
"Why, many years ego my near-
est neighbor wes dying," be was
quoted as saying. "Four doctors
bed given him up. He sent for me
and I went to his bedside. He told
me, ’I am going to die tonight.' I
told him' ‘You ere going to get
well. Tomorrow morning 1 will see
you at your wood pile as usual.’
He was there tho next morning.
That is only one of so manylcases.”
Asserting the “power” wee not
supernatural, be added:
“And beer in mind that I will not
allow the afflicted to be brought
to me; 1 can not have my door
thronged with patients. 1 am far
too busy to take on any more work
than 1 have now on hand."
On March 6, the eve of his sev-
enty-seventh birthday, Burbank ad-
dressed e mesaego ts "ths children
of ths world," telling them their
happiness will be In direct propor-
tion. to their loving thoughts, "to.
ward every person end animal and
even toward stars, planets, oceans,
rivers and hills."
Burbank then Mid hs expected
to live at yeast five years more and
in that period do the most impor-
tant work of his life.
“Everything is yet to be done,-
he wee quoted as saying to a mag-
azine writer. "In tho next five
years 1 hope to produce plants with
grains and fruits larger than any
ws have at present, with mors
varied flavors and colors, with bet.
ter storing and shipping qualities,
with more nutriment and less
waste, and with every poisonous or
injurious element eliminated."
Burbank fslt there was still mors
impostant work than his own yet
to be done by someone else who
could based a finer human race.
"Inferior human beings can not
be treated aa if they were inferior
planta,-' he said. "But if civilisa-
tion la to endure, some way must
be found to produce more of the
fit and fewer of the unfit.
“Today, wo are little more than
field of wild weeds, in which, here
and there, arises a superior type,
the result of a fortunate and chance
crossing rather than of intelligent
select ton.”
The horticulturist’s health suf-
fered a setback a few weeks later
when he had a slight heart attack.
Work Is Resumed
Monday Morning
, 30th Grand Jury
A few weeks later, Burbank cre-
ated comment throughout the coun-
try by declaring that "aa ascien-
tist I can not help but feel that
all religions ars on a tottoring
foundation." Hs also repeated for-
mer assertions that be was “aa In-
fidel in the true sense of the word.”
Most of the comment was In op-
position to the horticulturist’s
statement, a group of Chicago cler-
gymen branding his remarks aa
"unselentific" and “nonsense,"
while Chauncey M. Depew, in New
York, said he regretted “sincerely week.
The grand jury of the 30th dis-
trlet court, which went into recess
Friday evening after making a par-
tial report, resumed work Monday
morning. Bailiffs had summoned a
large number of witnesses, a num-
ber of whom were at hand at 9:00
o’clock when the Jurors assembled.

PROHIBITION AND
WORLD COURT ARE.
ILLINOIS ISSUES
CHICAGO, April 12. un—The first
opportunity of a constituency (to
express its feeling toward a pena-
tor's vote for world court adher-
ence will be offered in the Illinois
primary tomorrow.
In addition, another question of
current national interest— prohibi-
tion- will be involved to same ex-
tent, while considerable local inter-
•at will be centered In scrambled
and fantastical fashional struggles.
The world court issue revolves
around tha fight for the Republic
own nomination for United Stataa
senator with Senator William B.
McKinlay defending hla world court
vote on tha premise of party regu-
larity and In support of President
Coolidge.
His opponent, Frank U Smith,
chairman of the Illinois commerce
commission has mads this point hla
chief campaign issue, virtually ds-
manding a referendum oa Senator
McKinley’s vote. The world court
question, which brought Senators
Borah and Reed into the state to
plead for defeat of senators who
voted for the measure, has not been
confin'd to the senatorial struggle,
but has extended through virtually
the entire ticket.
'. Prohibition lurks in ths back-
ground of Republican congressional
campaigning, but stands to the fers
in ths Democratic senatorial race.
Chief interest in the Democratic
contest has been centered in the
“silent" campaign of George Bren-
nan. a national party man for two
decades, who decided to run for an
elective offics to bring attention to
ths prohibition question. He has
pledged his energetic support to-
ward repealing or amending the
prohibition act if elected. His one
ponente are James T. McDermott,
former congressman, and James O.
Monroe.
Probably ths sharpest campaign
In which prohibition was involved
was found in the fight for Repub-
lican congressional nomination
waged between Representative Fred
A. Britton and Mrs. Bertha Banr,
Gold Coast society woman, with
both on the same aldo—modifica-
tion.
For the first time in history, the
federal government has engaged
more than 500 special deputies for
duty In troubled areas of Cook
county to prsvsnt election disor-
lor.

both morning and evening.
"The challenge to stewardship is

hs said, "tn ths parade of tho na-

Mr. Stanley discussed the subject

each of the three phases of world
progress.
"Too many people are Interested

Although Mr. Jones never lived
In Wichita Falla, his business In-
terest* brought him here often in
earlier years and he had many
friends a ad busine as associates
here. For a number ot years hs was
interested in the Wichita Valley
Mills here. He was later associated
with J. A. Kemp, all. E." Huff and
M Lasker In the property where

Wichita Valley
Mr Jones was a cousin of Jack
Che Nones, who was a citizen of
Wichita Falls for a number of
years and who died In New York
city about two years ago when he
was en route to visit relatives in
England.
"Wichita Falls gave $30,000 and
th* right-of-way through Wichita
i and Archer counties aa a bonus to
get tho Wichita Valley railroad
i when Mr. Jones propos'd to build
. it." Judge H E. Huff said Monday
morning in speaking of Mr. Jones
i activities as a railroad builder. "Al-Fl
though the contract called for, only
45 miles of road, wo were given the
impression that the road would ex-
tend to the New Mexico line, and
probably would connect up with the
Santa Fe. At the time it stopped at
Seymour and waa later built into
Abilene," Judge Huff recalled.
He conceived the plan for the
Denver, obtained the charter, built
the road and served as its first
president for inany years The road
was qhsrtered In 1873, but it waa
not until 1887 that the flrat trains
were operated. With his faithful
associate, Dan Carey, hs was con-
tractor on tho ‘10 miles of ths line
from Wichita Falls to Fort Worth.
Mr. Jones also promoted the build-
ing of ths Wichita Falls and Okla-
homa railroad into Byers. Citizens
of Wichita Falls gave 10 miles of
right-of-way for thla line. Judge
Huff and others who wsrs inter-
sated in seeing the line built, re-
called Monday. /
Native of Wales.
Mr. Jones was a. native of North
Wales and after a brief career of
railroad building there a quarrel
with hla associates caused him to
come to America. He settled In
Lehigh county, Pennsylvania. In
1867 and took out naturalization
papers. Ths transcontinental lines
which had been launched at the
close of the civil war by General
John Fremont attracted him and he
was given the contract to build a
portion of tho Southern Transcontl- [
mental line from Jefferson to Tex-
arkana. Fremont failed in the ven-
ture and the reorganisation of ths
road with Thomas A. Scott at the
head took place in 1871. The line
became the Texas Pacific and ac-
quired the holdings of the Southern
Pacific, the Southern Transcontl-
nental and the Memphis, El Paso,
and Pacific. Under General Gren-
■ ville Dodge as chief engineer
Jones stayed with the road and
made hla home in Abilene; he was
never married and lived in an Abi-
lene hotel His survivors ars T. C. 1
Jones, a brother of Durham, Eng-
Aland: Ars, Edith Longstath a niece
of Durham, England, W and five
nephews: Morgan and Percy Jones,
of Wbllene; Roland Jones, Weath-
erford: and Edward and Charles
Jonss of Durham, England.______
Hs had been la 111 health for over
a year, fighting back to health
through a critical iNness which he
suffered In January, 1925. After hla
recovery he continued to make dally
trips to the Abilene and Southern
general offices and was in intimate
touch with all details of ths opera-
tion of the line. Last Friday he
was at the railroad offices but was
stricken that night and suffered a
severe heart attack Saturday, from
which hs never recovered. He died
at the home of his nephew, Percy
Jones.
