PLANTS AND SEEDS i Spesimens Acquired by Dr. Dorsett and Son May Boom Agriculture. Dr. P. H. Dorse't and his son, I H. Dorsett, both of the Department of -Agriculture, have just returned from China, where they have been | engaged in a botanical exploring ex- pedition since 1924. They have brought back material which, when it has been tested at ex periment stations in this country, may t value to Americ ey spent eight months d Harbin, Manch time in Ceylon matra and Java. 100 Kinds Soy Beans. ‘ Among the material brought back are about 100 varieties of the sov | bean, one of the chief Chinese crops. | and valuable because of its ability to | store nitrogen In the soil. They ‘also | brought back several varieties of the mung bean, which it may be possible to introduce as a rotation crop. | About 400 varieties of wheat and | barley are included in the materfal. | The Dorsetts also brought back sev- | eral varieties of the persimmon, a | popular fruit crop arcund Peking, in- | cluding one wh 1s described “not very puckery,” and delicious as a breakfast fruit. The collection includes seeds of a | hardy wild apricot, s Chinese | varieties of wild grapes, two varieties of red currants and one black cur- rant, and an ornamental fruit-beariog shrub gomewhat like the currant, the edible wild honeysuckle, which bears a small, purple berry. In Manchuria Dr. Dorsett found five types of elms which he thinks may be \suitable for the Northern States. Included in these is the small- leaved dwarf elm, which.is used as a hedge. sometimes trimmed very low and sometimes growing to 10 or 12 feet. There are few suitable hedge plants for the colder regions of the United States, and he belleves this may prove available. Wild Roses From Manchuria. From Manchuria also he brought wseveral varieties of wild roses and some lilies of the valley. The vegetables introduced included Chinese cabbage, a large variety of radishes and several varieties of gar- den beans and peas. Dr. Dorsett found the natives eager to co-operate with the expedition, in spite of the troubled conditions in China. He will tell of his experiences next Monday evening at a meeting of the Takoma Park Horticultural Club. These experiences include some close contacts with native life. He and his staff journeved mostly on foot, carrying their luggage in two- wheeled carts drawn by burros and coolies, and slept in Chinese farm- houses and inns. JUDGE, FOE OF EDITOR, PERMITS PAPER SALES Takes No Action to Suppreu Pub- lication Whose Previous Issue He Stopped. ted Press. 3. Ind., February 26.—News- bo\r- shouted the sale of George R. Dale's weekly newspaper through the streets of Muncie today and no action was taken by Judge Clarence W, Dearth of the Delaware County Cir- cuit Court to prevent its distribution. The sale of last week'ssedition was stopped by Judge Dearth because it contained an anonymout letter criticis- ing the judge and the mayor .for alleged lack of law enforcement. As a result of the publication of the letter, Dale was cited for contempt of court and later indicted for criminal libel. It developed the letter was written by Clell C. Maples, 80-year-old manufacturer. Pending the outcome of an effort to impeach Judge Dearth in the Indiana General Assembly, a plan to file a writ of prohibition against the Muncie Jurist is held in abeyance by Dale’s | attorneys. The House of Rrepreset tives committee considering the im-| peachment petition, baffled by a lack | of precedent, has appealed to the at- torney general for an opinion as to the constitutionality of proceeding | against Dearth. 1 ‘The great !trfl(a of the British coal miners, which has just ended, is esti- mated to have been the costifest strike in the whole history of industry Kryptok Invisibl Can Now Be Sold Our exclusive optical service g sure-fit frame and correct lenses for Remember: This Is Give Clear Vision Both Near and Far SHAH OPTICAL CO. 812 F St. N.W.
