Success Attends Efforts To Force Plants To Blossom Out Of Season By RENNIE TAYLOR Afiociated Pfmi Scicnca Reporter VANCOUVER, B. C. UP) Scientists are beginning to get results in their efforts to force plants to blossom out of season. Only a small beginning has been made, but the potentialities are enormous. Artificial control of blossoming would mean that fruits, vegetables and flowers would be on hand at least a part of the time when they normally are not available. It might also mean more temperate zone fruits and vegetables for northern cli mates. First success toward controlling the blossoming of a hardy com mon plant was reported io the When You Call 1001 we signal the taxi nearest you by 2-way radio. That's modem service, We Take You Anywhere B and B Taxi Phone 1001 . American Association for the Ad vancement of Science here bv Dr. James Bonner, of the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Bonner, using chemicals, made cockleburrs produce flower buds almost at will. The plants, however, did not develop com plete blossoms. This means that the blossoming process involves more than one process. However, the fact that blossoming can be artificially started suggests the rest of the process also may be subject to human control. Other researchers previously had started the blossoming pro cess in pineapples in Hawaii out of season. The pineapple, how ever, is a highly specialized plant not related to the common fruits and vegetables of the Western Hemisphere's temperate zone. Dr. Bonner's cockleburrs be long to a wider category of plants which normally grow throughout the summer and blossom in the fall when the days are short.

OP) For the first time in six years, farmers are getting less than 50 cents of each dollar spent by con sumers for farm products The agriculture department said today that the farmers' share dropped to 49 cents in April, and it estimated that the figure will be about the same for May. The department's bureau of ag ricultural economics said the farmer hasn't received such a small part of the consumer dol lar since May, 1943. The peak of 55 cents was reached several times between November, 1945, and January, 1948.

Now, both are wearing casts, but if operation's a success they'll be off soon. belong to still other classes with a complex blossoming mechan ism. One way' to make the cockle burr blossom, Dr. Bonner said, is to put the plant under controlled lighting which produces the equivalent of either long or short days. During short days the plant stops growing and concentrates Its energies on the blossoming process. If returned to long days, it stops blooming and resumes growth. The only other method Is to ap ply a chemical called an anti auxin. Auxins are. hormones which control numerous growth processes. The anti-growth sub stance counteracts the natural auxing in the plant and steps growth. The blooming process then begins.
