Flowers, Not Known In
Living Memory, Breaking
Out In Shelltorn Fields
A strange phenomenon is to be
seen at present on the battlefields of
France.
Flowers, not known within living
memory, are breaking out on the
scarred surfaces and In shellholes and
dugouts, says Stray Storiae.
Botanists have become interested
in the discovery of the plants, which
it Is believed, have sprung from seeds
buried In the depths of the earth, for
decades past. A well known botan
ist in London, discussing the phen
omenon, said:
"There is evidence that seeds may
be burled for a large number of years
awaiting the time of germination.
"It is known that seeds have been
burled for upwards to 60 years with
out losing their power of germina
tion. Seeds of corn and wheat bur
ied with Egytlan mummies thousands
of years ago have been planted in the
twentieth century and have germina
ted In the ordinary way.
"It is quite possible that strange
flowering plants that Is, strange to
local inhabitants are now flowering
in the French battlefields. The heavy
shellfire which has torn up the earth
may have created conditions for their
growth after lying dormant so long.

BLUE BACK SALMON
RETURN TO WALLOWA
For the first time In 21 years blue
back and Chinook salmon are running
in the streams of Wallowa county.
Residents of the county are pleased
and greatly excited over the return
of the fish to a once popular running
place.
Blue back and Chinook salmon
were planted in the headwaters of
the Wallowa county streams four
years ago. Salmon return to their
hatching grounds every four years
and these fish that are back are the
ones planted by the state four years
ago. The fish are Btill comparitlvely
small but the fact that the fish re
turned gives promise of annual runs
in several more years.
Salmon fishing was practically
ruined over a score of years ago
through the methods of irrigation
used In that, district. Ditches were
run directly from the streams and
were not screened, with the result
that thousands of fish died In the
fields which were being irrigated.
