just like any normal girl. She was
born at Grand Pre. At the age of 13
she entered college, wearing a pig-

TOBACCO PLANT CREATION
OF HARVARD FARMER EXPERT
Cigar Wrapper Plant Developed Having Desirable Qualities of Several
Existing Varieties and None of Their Defects.
(By the Associated Press.)
AMBRIDGE, Mass., April
16.-
LWhat is claimed to be the first
' plant actually made to order, ac
cording to specifications) listed in ad
vance, has been developed by Pro
fessor Edward M. East of Harvard
for the Connecticut agrit -Itural ex
periment Btation at New Haven. Conn.
The new plant, known as Round
Tip, is a cigar wrapper tobacco, com
bining. It is claimed, the desirable
qualities of several existing varieties
and none of tne defects and) possess
ing several worth-while character
istics unknown in the older varieties.
It was produced by a scientific appli
cation of the laws of heredity, with
the investigation of which Professor
East has been identified for many
years.
New varieties of plants are not par
ticularly rare, it is said, and new
names for old varieties are as com
mon as freckles on a red-headed boy,
but in the past, according to the Har
vard biologists, the new things In the
plant world have been more or less
accidental. Crosses, they say, have
been made Indiscriminately, trusting
to providence that something good
would turn up. and occasionally prov
idence has come to the rescue.
Maay Varieties Studied.
In -his case a study of cigar' leaf
wrappers was made, and the char
acteristics demanded by growers,
manufacturers and consumers were
set down as cold-bloaledly as a build
er would plan the requirements for a
house. Existing varieties were then
examined in the f'eld and in the
warehouse with the minutest care,
seeking those which when combined
isould give the greatest possible
chance of success. Finally it was de
cided the success of the project de
pended on crossing the two varieties,
Sumatra and Broadleaf.
Why these varieties were selected
and how the scheme was carried out
is a long and technical story. Suffice
it to say that a knowledge of the
principles of inheritance was the ba
sts. Through these principles the
work could be carried out with no i
greater loss of time and with as :
much certainty of reaching the end '
in view as that of a chemist in pro- !
ducing a new tooth-paste. The re
sult was the Round Tip.
Good Qualities Retained.
"The Round Tip." said Professor
East todav, "has the large leaf and
the close arrangement of leaves char
acteristic of the broad-leaf variety.
The leaves grow upright, as do those
of the Sumatra, thus eliminating the
loss from torn leaves, which so often
results from the dropping leavejt of
the other parent. The leaf is even
broader than the Sumatra, and so In
creases the yield of cigar wrappers.
Since the Broadleaf Is too thick and
has too pronounced a flavor for most
smokers and since the Sumatra is too
thin and has no flavor, the new to
bacco was made intermediate in these
respects. Finally, the Round Tip de
velops six or seven more leaves than
the old varieties, possesses a won
derful root system, making it stand
up under winds that lay other to
baccos low, and has a resistance to
root rot which came to it by accident,
rather than by design.
"The Round) Tip has been distributed
to Connecticut tobacco growers by
Dr. Donald) F. Jones, a former pupil
at Harvard, who is now connected
with the Connecticut agricultural ex
periment station. It has had a three
years' test, and has been reported
on by some forty-odd planters.
"Crops of 2800 pounds per acre.
double the yield of ordinary va
rieties. have been obtained under
exceptional conditions, and on the
average 2000 pounds may be confl'
dently expected. But what pleases
us most is that by this experiment
we have demonstrated that the true
fundamental principles of plant
breeding which we have spent years
in studying can be applied to a
specific problem with such useful
results."
Professor East holds the chair of
experimental plant morphology at the
Bussey institution, the department of
Harvard university devoted to re
search and Instruction in applied bl
ology. He is the authoraof several
volumes of technical papers on hered
ity . and in collaboration with Dr.
Jones published a work on the effects
of "Inbreeding and Outbreeding" in
animals and plants, and the bearing
of the results on the upbuilding of
nations.

HE dahlia is essentially a mod
ern flower; it is one of the tri
umphs of the horticultural art.
It Is a far cry from the insignifcant
plant which was found growing cn
the sandy deserts of Central America
to the magnificent blooming bush. as
wo know it today. The plant takes
its name, dahlia, from the Swedis
botanist Dahl, who introduced it.
The dahlia is a close rival of the
rose, even here with us in Portland,
where the rose grows to such per
fection. This is as it should be, fo
while we will always give first place
to the rose, there is still ample space
in which to rrow other lovely flow
ers which are especially suited
our climate. In fact, the carefully
chosen varieties of choice flower
which we cultivate in our parks and
home gardens add distinctii n and in
dividuality to the city. The dahlia
detracts nothing from the rose, fo
it blooms at a time when roses are
not at their best.
The dahli has an amazing range
of color, and the old stiff hand
made" air which characterized th
bloom of 30 years ago has almost
entirely disappeared. -Now we have
great irregular ragged blooms which
resemble the ' chrysanthemum in
shape but far surpasses it when it
comes to the blending of colors. The
dahlia is much easier to grow than
the choicer varieties of chrysanthe
mums, which do not do very well
here In Portland. The amateur can
depend upon securing something in
the way of bloom from the. dahlia if
he gives it any care at alL though
it amply repays the gardener for
good care.
Careful Study Advised.
Growing conditions should be care
fully studied before planning to grow
either flowers or vegetables. The
dahlia is a native of the desert and
so is a sun-loving plant; some of the
single varieties do well in the shade,
but unless these are to be grown
exclusively there is little use to at

Hammond Dumber Company Seeks
Site for Iarge Plant.
LEBANON, Or., April 16. (Special.)
The indications are promising for
Lebanon or vicinity to get one of the
large sawmills of Oregon. The Ham
mond Lumber company recently had
two routes surveyed from the Wood-
burn-Springfield branch of the South
ern Pacific company to its large body
of fir timber on the Crabtree river,
20 miles east of Lebanon. The com
pany has been looking for a site for
a large mill, and the rumdr is current
here that the mill will go in at or
near the city.
It is said that the logging road will
be 20 miles in length and will tap
one of the finest bodies of standing
timber in Oregon, which contains
hundreds of millions of feet of timber.
It is said that there is enough timber
in the Crabtree basin to supply a
large mill with logs for many years.
Two or three sites are available
re re for a sawmill and the matter of
a location is now in the hands of the
industrial committee of the Lebanon
Commercial club to confer with the
Hammond people with the hope that
they will locate the mill at this city.
LANE TO GET ROAD FUNDS
Forest Service to Do-operate In
Several Projects.
EUGENE, Or., April 16. (Special.)
The forest service will co-operate
with the Lane county court and sev
eral road districts in the western part
of the county In road work this
summer on a 50-50 basis, according
to R. ' S. Shelley, supervisor of the
Siuslaw national forest, who con
ferred with district forest officials in
Portland a few days ago.
A 10-mill tax has been levied by
the voters for work on the Deadwood
Five Rivers road and this will yield
between J2700 and $3000. With a
sum to match that amount, good
headway on the project is expected to
be made.
- A 10-mill tax also has been levied
in the Indian creek district and a
similar levy was voted for the Big
creek-Cape creek road in the vicinity
of Heceta Head lighthouse. Over J500
will be raised by this levy on Indian
creek and between $500 and $700 for
the road near Heceta, both sums to be
matched by the government.
be given a shady location. They will
produce blooms in full sun with no
water if cultivation Is kept up, but
they grow to perfection when Judi
ciously watered. Most amateurs wa
ter entirely too much, which tends
to produce weak stems and thin pet
als. Water should be withheld as
long as -possible in the spring, but
when it is applied the soil should
be thoroughly and deeply saturated.
If cultivated continuously there will
be little need for water, except in
unusual seasons, until the dry sea
sons sets in in August.
The dahlia is an aristocratic mem
ber of the potato family, and any
soil that will grow good potatoes
can be depended upon to grow good
dahlias, but they prefer a soil which
contain some sand and, of course,
need fertilizer to produce fine
blooms. Well-rotted cow manure,
say, a shovelful to each plant, is a
good fertilizer, but rabbit manure or
dried ground blood makes the blooms
rich In color and of heavier texture
Nitrate of soda or bone meal can be
applied after the Bhoots are well up.
Ten pounds of nitrate will answer for
a space 10x25 feet. Discretion should
be used in applying fertilizer, how
ever; too much will result in luxu
riant foliage with inferior, scatter
ing blooms on weak stems.
Planting Time Discussed.
Here In Portland the planting time
Is from April 20 to May 20. Too early
planting will produce blooms early
In the summer the dahlia is a fan
blooming flower and should be timed
to come into 'bloom then, instead of
dissipating force by premature flow
ering. On the coast, where the dahlia
grows to perfection, this rule does
not hold good, as the moist condi
tions make summer blooming possi
ble. If planting is too early the
young shoots are very apt to be se
verely damaged by frost.
There is a knack in planting
dahlias. Before setting, drive a strong
stake firmly Into the ground if the
stake is placed afterward it may be
driven through the tuber. Dig
hole six Inches deep by the stake
and lay the tuber on a slant, with
the eye uppermost; when the stalk
has reached a good size It will be
necessary to tie it loosely to the
stake with raffia or a strip of soft
cloth.
In selecting tubers remember that
the medium sizes are better than the
large ones; they seem to have more
vitality. Be sure there is a pro
nounced eye on each tuber. If none
can be found, soak the tuber for a
few days In warm water, or cover
with moist earth. If on examining
then no eye can be found, throw the
tuber away; it will not grow. The
eyes are to be found around the neck
where the tuber fastened to the
clump, not at intervals over the sur
face like the eyes on 'a potato. For
this reason great caution must be
used in cutting the clump apart. The
eyes appear In unexpected places and
it is necessary to study tho clump
very carefully or many eyes will be
destroyed.
Shoots Should Be Cut.
When the shoots are five or six
inches above the ground; it is best to
cut off below the surface all but the
largest one, though some growers
allow two or three shoots to remain.
If one main stalk is to be grown,
when it has four leaves, break out
the center bud. This causes four
branches to start, forming a symme
trical head. Tubers should be allowed
ample room, at least four feet apart
each way Is not too much space.
It Is not generally known that the
shoots that are cut off will root very
readily, thus increasing choice varie
ties. Dahlias may also be grown from
seed; It is in this way that new varie
ties are obtained. Most of the seed
lings come single and many of them
are worthless, but now and then some
thing really worth while appears. It
takes two or more seasons to establish
a strain the seedling may be entirely
different the next season. The cultural
direcions for growing from seed are
the same as for the tomato plant in
doors and transfer to the open ground
at about the time tomatoes are set
out.
Insect pests do not trouble very
much, but the tarnished beetle some
times attacks the buds; it sucks the
sap and emits a poison which kills
the foliage; two or three good spray
ings with some standard solution of
nicotine will eradicate the pest should
it make its appearance.
Dahlias Not Satisfactory.
It Is not supposed that dahlias are
very satisfactory as cut flowers, but
if the blooms are gathered In the
early morning and after stripping off
the foliage, which wilts them, they
are laid face down In a tub of water
for a hour or so until the petals fill,
but do not become water soaked, the
flowers will keep In good condition
for nearly a week if they are kept in
a cool room out of draughts. Blooms
that are drooping may be restored by
this method also. The water brightens
and adds to the texture of the petals.
There are six main types of
dahjlas Show, collarette, peony, ane
mone, cactus and decorative. The be
ginner had best learn the names, so
that the varieties can be recognized.
It is well to make a choice when
visiting the dahlia farms or the shows
In the fall and have the tubers de
livered in the spring. The descrip
tions in the catalogues give but little
idea of the real beauty of the blooms.
It .does not seem wise to give a list
f named varieties for the choice I
entirely one of personal preference
There are dozens of standard sorts
any of which are beautiful.
The first cost of good varieties is
little high, but after a few good
ones are secured It is possible to trade
with other enthusiasts, and as one
tuber will yield from three to six
good tubers in the fall, the supply
soon exceeds the space limits. The be
ginner will save money and dlsap
polntment by choosing good varieties
that have been on the market for A
few years the new things are very
expensive and they do not always
come up to expectations.
Be sure to store the tubers proper
ly or they may rot. A week or so
after the frost has killed the tops
digging should commence: If dug
too soon the tubers are not properly
cured, but on the other hand if left
in lha ground too long they will
sprout and grow If the season Is wet;
having comparltively few eyes to the
stalk these will, of course, die and
the tubers will be blind in the spring.
Cut off the tops within an Inch of
the tubers and shake off all the loose
earth, taking care that the clumps
are perfectly dry before storing. Store
with the stalks down In a cool, dry,
frost-proof basement. Bring to ths)
light about a month before planting
time so that the eyes will sprout,
when the tubers may be carefully
cut apart.
The secret of large fine blooms Is
in careful pruning and dis-buddlng
leaving only the main bud to the
flower stem. This process is rather
tedious, but it Is well worth the
effort, as he energy is all thrown
Into one fine flower, rather than
beng diverted and lost In buds
which have no chance to produce a
bloom.
