SOUTHERN HORIZONS 



by Durkee Famous Foods; the chilte tree, kin of the 

 bull nettle, touted as rubber-bearer, used in making 

 chewing gum, with promises of industrial worth for a 

 hard resin and a drying oil that it produces. 



Despite his calm exterior, Cyrus Lundell burns with 

 a consuming enthusiasm for the future of highly special- 

 ized crops, specialized as to their employment and to 

 the soil and climatic conditions of various sections of 

 the country. He is carrying on breeding experiments 

 to produce not a bigger, better corn, but a more prolific 

 corn adapted specifically to the blacklands of Texas in 

 specialized strains to satisfy the distinct requirements 

 of the meal miller and the alcohol distiller. His faith 

 declares itself: "We face a frontier different from and 

 more promising than any our pioneer ancestors knew. 

 We need research activated by the pioneer spirit of 

 our forefathers, and business pioneering capital that 

 visualizes the opportunities and possibilities of the 

 South."
