This and That
A. J. 0.
Luiliur Burbank has succeeded
in producing a thornless black-
berry.
lu past years he has undone
the works of nature a number of
times by changing the natural
state ot different plants and fruit
Burbank, without a doubt, is
the leading horticulturist of the
world
In fact he is the wizard of
plani life, accomplishing that
which appears to be impossible.
If you. dear reader, feel that
you would like to lead in some
manner similar to Burbank
offer you the following sugges
tions for your deep and undivid-
ed attention:
For instance, take up "bugol-
ogy" and produce a harmless
green bug, or a proboscisless boli-
wevil.

wanted to get a position before j
