I Sproutless, Wrinkle-Free U Spuas Kesuit trom f ests They've found a way to keep potatoes from sprouting, and taking on the sponginess and wrinkles that go with sprouts. It's done with hormones; those complex chemical sub stances that regulate growth in both plants and animals. , The Klamath agricultural experi ment station has been testing sprout inhibiting hormones in the past few months, and today Director A. E. Gross- was able to report "striking results" from the experiments. In this test, stripped paper impregnated with the hormone was mixed with the potatoes when they were stored last fall. Another lot of similar potatoes was stored under identical con ditions, but without the hormone-treated paper. , Sprouting Spuds No differences were noticed in the two lots until this spring, when the untreated spuds began to sprout normally. The treated tubers remained dormant. As the season progressed, the untreated lot . became badly sprouted, the tubers lost their firmness and became wrinkled and spongy. The treated lot continued firm and almost com pletely dormant. When the comparative test was discontinued . on June 20, the untreated lot had lost 7 per cent In weight when desprouted and the spuds were poor in ap pearance. In the treated lot po tatoes were still firm and with very small distorted sprouts, and the Weight loss was less than V4 of 1 per cent. Not For Seed ' Gross pointed out that the treated potatoes should not be used for seed, as there has been found no way to get them to sprout normally, once they have been treated with the sprout- July 8, 1945 Number 10509 take Wak any ttm they wish. In one' of the most dramati cally humane incidents of the Pacific war, the USS destroyer Murray intercepted, stopped and searched the Japanese hos pital ship Takasago Mara about 300 miles north of Wake Tues day. Jap Cooperates The Murray' commander-reported that a boarding party from his ship searched the Ta kasago with the full coopera tion of the Japanese command ing officer, who said his vessel was on the way to Wake to evacuate the garrison's sick and wounded. The NiDDonese -officer said his shin would remain at Wake for a few hours and then pro ceed to Japan. The American commander Dermitted the hospital shin to continue its voyage. ,, Second Search The Murray intercepted the Takasago Maru again yesterday, about 40 miles north of wake, and again a boarding party searched the shin.
