It has nci eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell nor any•legs to travel on, yet it gets aroun ll Plant a single thistle ina field and presently a vast family will have grown up about the original parent; a and from 'each descendant thousand seeds will move throughthe air, arae borne on their ,fluffy p hutes, • Seeds too heavy to fly cling like burrs to .the hair of anim' 1s.• A free ride will• •take them many ides from their: beg7lnnings, and ther they will grow. Even, further go indigest- ible st- ible seeds carried by birdsso that a, blackberry growing in exas may rt have descendants far north of •Win- nipeg after the bird grat ion;' af'the} spring.' Or, if such devic s will not serve, nattire uses the p inciple of the bomb, which man ha imitated, pods and explodes the dried . ds of the legume family to scatter • the seeds abroad. (By Bruce Hutchison, in Winnipeg Free Press) lxa the spring there is a fascination about seeds both for the 'thoughtless man and for the philosopred. To the thoughtless man the seed is like a child's toy which, placed _ in the ground, suddenly goes- off like a jack -- Mahe -box, providing him with flowers dr radishes about which he can boast 4o•'his friends. The philosopher ob- serves in the smallest seed the ulti- niate mystery of life. Life is mysterious enough in ani- mate things, in animals and in grow- ing vegetables, but at least they have the appearance, .quality and move- ment of life. The seed is, to all ap- pearance, dead. Pinch between your fingers some of the black, hard frag- ments which are onion seeds—they have no more life than particles of coal. The'roundw tough seeds of.spin- ach or radish are no more promising than pin heads. The pea is withered, old and mummified. The seed of let- tuce, is a mere dust, 'lifeless as pep- per cast from a shaker. Thus they will remain -for years, unchanging; but plunge them into the earth, sprinkle a drop of water on them and suddenly they will surge up in growth. In' all its strange and,. many-sided stagecraft nature never equals -the miracle -of seed. It is; of - course, her chief concern, on which she has lavished all her invention for all growth, even han himself begins m e 'the T :pn' e n s Thus; with such means of surviv- al, the 'vegetable kingdom far out- numbers the animal. Man is a minor species among the seeds of this earth and it is"on 'the seed, on vegetable growth, that 'he lives entirely. Well may he pause in his :spring• garden and contemplate the tiny globules which pour out ,of the seed package. They are not merely the source of his physical food but nourishment for his soul. Before such a portent as the seed, this • tiny inanimate object which holds the secret of life but never reveals it, philosopher stands dumb. Even the roughest farmer feels an inexpressible satisfaction as he scatters seed upon the 'ground, knowing- it -will -sprout. No man who watches -seeds grow and thinks about them 'ean . ever hold a cheap or vulgar view of life.• • 10,40 TTQN s .lfiAM.M ► i .. waEK(LY N4iffill PBOS:9, CANADAJIM aREENRLA.T. 10110.0..E tke Mit swKPT CMRfl:MT. #A#IltwtK'#M#KMI411 .
