Spineless cactus and cobless corn—truly they are appropriate to the age of wireless telegraphy and stepless electric cars. No one can deny Luther Burbank, “the plant wizard,” ranks with Marconi, Edison, Tesla and the rest of our 20th century magicians. Burbank did a big thing for our friends the animals when he brought safety out of confusion in cactus cultivation.

In the same wonderful way he obtained his corn without cobs. Perhaps he unwittingly hit a solar plexus blow at the corncob pipe monopoly, but what of that? He at least dealt a death blow to one of the banes of every diner’s existence.
