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

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.

Farmer Gets Less Than
Half Of Consumer Dollar
WASHINGTON, June 20. 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.

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.

Farmers Must Prosper,
Warning Of Brannan
WASHINGTON, June 20. (.11 j
Secretary of Agriculture Bran-i
nan says the nation had better
make sure that farmers get a
fair income, or all business will
stumble. j
Addressing a national 4 H Club
camp meeting, Brannan said ag
riculture and not the atomic !
bomb or the size of our military I
forces, Is the "foundation stone ,
of our strength." j
"One of the causes of depres-;
sion in the past has been too little
farm purchasing power. I hone
with all my heart that the people
of this nation will never again
make the mistake of allowing
farm Income to fall so low that
agriculture has a depression and
the whole nation is dragged down
by the undertow."
