In the same issue of tha Times,
under the heading. "WThy Luther
llurbank Seldom Fails," Herman
J. Stlch, one of the able staff.
writers of that paper, says:
We were traveling through San
ta Rosa in California, when we
happened to pass just outside the
fence surrounding the grounds of
Luther Burbank's home.
Between the curbing and the
sidewalk stands a row of trees
noticeably tall, magnificent,
spreading, inviting trees, even for
that country where magnificent
verdure is the rule.
Thase trees are a Burbank pro
duct, a product of education and
labor, the fruits of a series of pa
tient experiments with the En
glih walnut and the California
black walnut.
In his "Royal" black walnut.
Burbank has produced in seven
teen months what the ordinary
walnut requires twenty-five to
thirty-five years to produce.
That is,; he has made chestnut
trees a year and a half old hear
chestnuts, and it has-always taken
over a quarter of a century to
make a tree furnish is first chest
nut before.
Burbank experiments and ex
periments and records the my
riad facts, the results of all he
does, the failures as well as the
successes.
Like ail other groat men, he
knows that nothing happens.
Prof. Ehrlich has won much de
served name and fame because he
had to make 600 experiments be
fore he got the result which may
rid the world of the terrors of a
loathsome disease what shall we
say of Luther Burbank 'who often
grows 50.000 seedlings of a vari
ety just to get the perfect one.
And if, as sometimes happens,
he does not get the result he an
ticipated, he makes those thous
ands of failures the starting point
lor a new series of experiments
his failures being simply fertilizer
for progress.
Burbank is an experienced hun
ter once his quarry is sighted, he
never sits down to rest or to cqp
template the beauties of the for
est. Knowing that delay simply baf
fles or defeats, he sticks unremit
tingly to the pursuit; he kr-eps on
keeping on.
He knows what he is after, and
he STAYS till he gets it.
He is often puzzled, he is often
stumped; yet more frequently
than not he happens on things
quite unexpected and perhaps
more valuable than what he was
looking for like Columbus who
was searching for India and ran
Into an obstacle that turned out to
bo America.
Luther Burbank seldom fails,
because he refuses to quit he
