LOS ANGELES, July 6.-Whcn
Luther Burbnnk first announced to
the world that he had produced a new
fodder plant which would revolution
ize stock-raising and create a new
era in agriculture, an interested
world believcing thoroughly in Bur
tyuik and his work listened for a
moment, praised tthc Wizard for the
thousandth time, and then forgot.
But oniy for a day. The wonders of
the Burbank Thornless Cactus had
not bctn half told; and the intelligent
1 re of the country-dailies, weeklies
and- Monthly magazines took up,
the story with accustomed zeal and
( enterprise and are still telling it to
day. No wonder the improved Thorn
less Cactus is dubbed Burbank's
-Greatest Triumph, This new crea
thn in plant life means more to th
farmer and stock-raiser than any

A I 1 .
Imini, n, iccq superior in some or
all respects to any now in use. An ex
ccllcnt substitute for sorghum or hay
for dairy stock. A wholesome food
for man. These are but a few of the
virtues of the Burbank Thornlcss
Cactus that have come to be gener
ally known and recognized.
But the unfolding marvels of the
Burbank Cactus are unending. The
experiments which have been con
ducted by the T hornless Cactui
1-arming Company, which secured
from Luther Burbank the exclusive
right to propagate and distribute
these plants, and tests made by Gov
ernment experts have established
many hitherto unknown truths about
the cactus. One of the most start
ling of these is that the Improved,
thornless, Burbank plant not only
grows much faster than the wild
cactus but it reproduces many times
more rapidly. The wild cactus often
puts out many new leaves each sea
son but these new leaves do not bu "
and reproduce the same season. The
Burbanks cactus reproduces a new
generation every six weeks! Nothing
like this is known in the animal or
vegetable kingdoms!
To make this point plain: On the
Thornless Cactus Farming Comp
any's farm at Indio, California, in the
sun-baked Coachella Valley, the leaf
or slab thrust into the ground buds
and reproduces new leaves with buds
on them in six weeks! A single slab
frequently produces twelve to twenty
young green leaves in two months to
ten weeks. This is such an astound
ing rate of reproduction that the
scores of visitors to the Indio nurs-'
cry every week go away amazed and
delighted. V
Another wonderful thing about the
Burbank Thornless Cactus is the per
tinacity with which it clings to life
and the indifference it displays to the
buffetings of fate. A young green
slab thrown out on the desert soil at
Indio, exposed to the fierce rays of
the tropical sun, without a drop of
moisture save what it could. ; seize,
from the air, was-after six weeks of
such neglect thrust a few inches in
fo the ground. It immediately grew
green again, budded reproduced
I'lants accidenily 'ble-n over, nuuil
ated or uprooted, shewed no concern
nor injury whatever, no arrest ol
growth nor deterioration in quality.
One slab was cut up into strips and
the strips planted separately. Each
section of this leaf went ahead grow
ing and prospering. Several hundred
of the leaves were set out in the sun
baked soil and left alone ' for ten
weeks without a drop of water. They
all budded and reproduced just the
same! '
These facts have established all ol
Luther Burbank's claims for his-
Thornless Cactus and have convinced
agricultural experts that the cactus
is indeed destined to produce a new
era in stock-raising over a wide area
of the now cultivated lands of the
United States and Mexico and to re
claim millions upon millions of acres
;f now unproductive soil.
The Thornless Cactus "arming
Company is now preparing t it its

Orders are being taken from every

One Government expert. told Dr.
Frank N, Doud, Vice President and
Manager of the Thornless Cactus
Farming Company, the other day
that the company and the United
States Government together could
not grow enough of . the Burbank
riiomless Cactus to satisfy the de
