measure of value to the human race. This particular group is the National Association 
of Bakers. We are just passing out of the most acute period of shortage this generation 
has ever known. Probably more than any one man in the world, you have done most 
to prevent a recurrence of such a crisis. I am speaking with the voice of the leaders 
of an industry^ which: embraces more than 25,000 people in the United States when I say 
it is their earnest desire. to have an opportunity to show to you their respect and to 
profit by your words, and the inspiration of your presence." — T. T. F„ National Associa- 
tion of Master Bakers, Columbus, Ohio, July 27, 1918. 
"The size of the wheat crop is no longer merely a matter of interest as affecting the 
fortunes of those who speculate in the Chicago wheat pit, but as it determines the more 
vital question of whether we shall have bread. There is much for Americans to learn 
about farming and many other matters, but they are learning the lessons. Lands must 
be reclaimed and improved instead of being continually depleted. Intensive instead of 
expansive methods must prevail if production keeps pace with demand. But this is 
coming." — Chattanooga, Tenn., "News." 
"In regard to the 'Super' wheat I received from Mr. Burbank; it was dry here last 
Pall and I did not plant it until the middle of February, at that it came up and stooled 
wonderfully heavy and made fine progress up to the time it commenced heading and 
unluckily my neighbor's stock broke in and ruined the entire patch. There is no doubt 
in my mind but this will be a wonderful wheat, a great producer, as shown by the 
heads that I received. The heads contained three lull developed kernels to every mesh, 
and the lime mine was now heading the heads run from four to six inches long. I shall 
certainly have another supply of more seed and a greater quantity this coming Fall." 
— J. A. S., Oklahoma Thresherman's Association. 
"Last year as you will remember you sent me 10 pounds of your 'Super' wheat and 
last week the crop was threshed. My yield was thirty-four bushels from forty pounds." 
— S. H., Evansville, Ind., July 13, 1918. 
"Our small patch of 'Super' wheat is as fine as it can be at this writing and if it 
lias no bad luck it will yield at least 50 bushels per acre if not more if there is anything 
in looks." — I. M. S., Bonanza Seed Farms, Bonneville, Ark., April 8, 1918. 
"I regard this photograph as being the three strong men upon which this nation 
must rely in the ease of war."— Pror. C. D., Carnegie Institution of Washington, Long 
Island, N. Y., March 1J, 1917. 
No one outside of my own helpers can have any possible idea of (he 
amount of personal care, constant labor and attention and tremendous 
expense of producing these new wheals. With my long experience and 
long days of labor each and every day of the year, I am able to come 
out even on them, but not more, and as long as I can do this I shall con- 
tinue, as I enjoy the work and am delighted to be able to serve out- 
Country during ils time of stress, and so am satisfied to go forward as 
long as life and strength are left. 
Luther Burbank.
