"Growth" Acid Used In Plant Research By OSC Scientist An Oregon State college horti culturist reports he has been able to make a biennial plant produce flowers during its first year. Nor mally biennials don't flower un til their second year, after they have gone through a dormant period and winter chilling. L. T. Blaney used glbberelllc acid, applied near the growing tip of the plant, to cause a fox glove plant to send up a flower stalk. Blooms recently appeared on the flower stadk, dramatizing the success of Blaney's experl ment. Gibberellic acid is produced by a fungus which causes a disease of rice seedlings In the Far East. It was first Isolated by Japanese researchers In 1939, who showed that it could cause elongation of plant shoots, Blaney has also treated other biennials, including cabbage and canterbury bell plants, with the acid. Flower stems of the other two plants are elongating show. Ing they are responding to the gibberellic acid but so far they haven't produced flowers. The horticulturist says it's too early to tell if gibberellic acid will cause flowering in many bienni als. But if it does, it could speed up the work of plant breeders as they seek to develop new cab bage, carrot, beet, and other bi ennial vegetable and flower va rieties.

Driving Hazardous At Freezing Point Sudden temperature changes can wreck havoc on streets and highways this time of year, the Oregon traffic safety commission reminded drivers today. Ihe commission said streets are more dangerous when the tem perature stands at about 32 de grees than at lower readings. A small temperature rise or a little sunshine can make Ice slippery in a matter ol minutes. lests show, the commission noted, that at 20 miles an hour it takes about 235 feet to stop a car on glare ice when the tem perature stands at 30 degrees. At 10 above, stopping distance would be 155 feet and at zero, the stop ping distance would be 114 feet.
