 1, 1919.— Raisers of new plants do not reap the just reward of their labor. The finders of 

 fortuitous novelties need not be considered. The selectors of improved strains have as 

 much right to recompense as the originators of the strains they improve. Some novelties, 

 such as new apples, could not be rightly judged for several years. There are many 

 objections to the patenting of plant novelties, and some to the registration of names of strains 

 as trademarks. — John Belling.
