three cases with one fatal; Grant
county, four cases, two fatal;
Harney county, 11 cases, four fa
tal; Morrow county, one case, no
fatalities; Umatilla county, one
case, one fatal; and Wasco county,
two cases, one fatal.

ther anaplasmosis research. Ef
foctle control of this disease not
only in the Columbia Basin area,
but all western states will de
pend on future research," Dr.

"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.

a 2.8 per cent increase, brought
the denomination total to 287,866,
The vast majority joined on pro
fession of faith.
Perhaps most notable was the
record of $129.94 in per capita
giving in 1956. This was an In
crease of $4.35 over the previous
high ol $125.59 in 1955.
Denominational giving for all
purposes also Increased by $2,
260,063 in 1956, for a denomina
tional total of $37,404,741.

bridge in downtown Portland.
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.
Regardless of temperature, use
of tire chains provides the short
est possible stopping distances,
the commission concluded.
