•
come am annual event, There were in

gan, Ripley; Cattle, Henry •Johann,

Luther Burbank, the greatest plant
wizard the world has ever known,
died on Sunday, at his home' in Santa,
Rosa, California. He hid reached the
age of 77 years, and his name was faa
miliar to every household in America''.
He devoted practically all his life td
scientific plant breeding and his exs
perirnents, which exceeded one 'hun-
dred thousand, with various forms of
vegetation, produced results that as-
tonished the world, A close friend or
the late scientist is responsible for the
statement that early disappointment
in love was the reason for' taking up
this work and devoting his life to it:
He was one of the greatest benefac-
tors of recent years but, sad to say,
was a pronounced. infidel.
