was to help nature along. Maybe

to something hy the time Burbank

But that was just a minor Idio-

was considered extraordinary in
his own day—has taken on even
greater importance now because
its worth can be Judged more ful-| fma|

He also developed plants that
could be grown even on very poor
soil and which could he used for
food. His experiments took him
into all fields — he worked with
berries, nuts, grains and flowers.
Burbank moved from New Eng-

his career. At the time of his death

experiments were in progress on

ability in it., Burbank never spoke

Burbank was essentially a farm- :
- i lather than a scientist. He kept
only the most casual record of his '
i • xperiiuent* and he often wrote
il"*n only the information that
interested him He did not at-
tempt to define ail the steps ho !
had taken before he achieved a
final result.
On this score, he probably show-

work interested him even then.:

(Monday, March Seventh)
Today marks the 100th anniver-
sary of the birth of the American
horticulturist, Luther Burhank.
This also is the anniversary of
the birth in 1850 of Thomas Mas- |
aryk. first President of Saeehos- j
lovakia.
It's just 23 years since the first
successful Transatlantic telephonol
conversation was held between]
New York and London.
On this day in 1936, the Ver-
mans re-armed their country in!
defiance of the Locarno Pact and
the treaty of Versailles. It's just j
eight years since British troops in
Africa completed the conquest of
Italian Somaliland. Four years
ago today, American troops made
a surprise crossing of the Rhine j
by capturing a bridge at Rcmagen
just before the Nazi blew it up.
