8hakespe«re Plants.
The abov,0 term la a new one to uk
ajad Is doubtlefiB new to most of our
readers. The writer was looking over
some pot experiments being conflict-
ed at the University of Illlnoia by Pro-
fessor Cyril O. Hopkins when he came
to one pot In which was seen an un-
usual condition of plant growth. The
pot aontalned soil In wttch was a
largo amount of alkali, so much so
that plant life could make but little
headway In It. While In other pots
nearby where the soil was good the
plants stood two feet high, In this pot
most of the plant* were of spindling
growth ahd not over four Inches in
heigh*. There were ten plants In
each pot, that the results might be bet-
ler compared.
But In this pot was one plant that
towered above its feJlows. Professor
Hopkins remarked: '"flftat Is what
the boys call a Shakespeare plant."
The writer measured It and found the
height to be 28 inches. Moreover It
had stooled out and had three large
stalks In addition to thp principal
stalk. The volume of the plant was at
least thirty times that of the average
plants In the pots.
New as to the cause of such a
veropment in an unfriendly medium,
Professor Hopkins did not wish to ex-
press his opinion as to the cause, for
the true scientist does not like to get
the reputation of being a guesser. He
wishes to send out to the public only
opinions that have a strong array of
facts behind them, and In that he is
right. But the ordinary mortal can-
not help reaching for possible inter-
pretations of unusual things.
It may be that this plant h9s the
power to resfct alkali to such a degree
that it Is able to develop In spite of it.
If this is so, its seed may be saved
and be planted In subsequent years to
get a variety of wheat that cares noth-
ing for alkali. The probability is that
there is much in this plant that is of
value to tho world, for such plants
have already been found among other
economis plants, such as cotton. We
have no doubt that the seed of this
plant will be saved and further experi-
ments made with it.
There are, of course, other possible,
though not probable, explanations.
One is that the alkali is not evenly
distributed in the soil in which the
plant is growing and another is that
the water used In the pot has caused
more leaching out of the alkali In one
part of the pot than In other parts.
Such explanations will not, however,
receive much weight till they have
something more than mere conjecture
to back them. Doubtless the roots of
this big plant ramify all over the pot.
A Place for Brome Grass.
Ther is a place for brome grass on
some farms, especially where the land
is low enough so that in the winter
time small areas of thin ice form. Un-
der such influence most grasses are
killed out, notably red clover, mam-
moth clover, alsyke clover, white clo-
ver, timothy and red top. Brome grass
and quack grass seem to be able to
stand the adverse conditions produced
by the ice sheet. Brome grass is thus
a great ally to the farmer that is un-
able to obviate such conditions. Even
quack grass may yet be made useful.
Nurse Crops.
A great deal has been said against
nurse crops, but in some parts
of the western states nurse crops
are quite necessary for the sow-
ing of clover. "Where clover Is sown
with spring wheat the stubble of the
wheat when cut helps to hold the
snow over the plants during winter
and keeps them from freezing out. It
is the experience of farmers iu & good
many places that nurse crops protect
the clover during supamer, especially
tn regions whore the heat is intense.
