M. E. GARDNER
What's new? Many of my
readers have heard about, and
some may have used, gibberel
lic acid for the hormone ef
fect it has on plant growth.
For this report, credit is due
the Amdal Division of Abbott
Laboratories of Ventura, Cali
fornia, and Farm Technology of
Wllloughby, Ohio.
Glbberellic acid is a very
unusual compound in that it is
not produced by synthetic pro
cesses. It is produced by a
deep culture fermentation of a
fungus, Gibberella fujlkouri,
first discovered in Formosa in
1926. It is a natural growth
hormone and has less toxicity
than many of the so-called non
toxic chemicals.
A few examples will serve
to indicate the type of research
being conducted by the Abbott
Laboratories and some of the
plant responses that have been
observed to date.
Lemon trees have responded
with larger green fruit suit
able for storing and market
ing as fresh lemons and a de
crease in small yellow lemons
which must be processed into
juice. There has also been ade
lay in harvest time so that the
peak production willcomeclos
er to peak sales months In the
summertime.- In the -field of
breeding, glbberellic acid has
been used to Induce bolting
(formation of seed stalk) inlet
tuce.
In Florida Gibberellin has
been used to induce sprouting In
newly harvested Irish potatoes.
The stimulation from the hor
mone has the effect ofby-pass
lng the normal rest period
necessary to induce sprouting.
In New York and Michigan
it has been found that treat
ment of sour cherry trees in
fected with a virus disease can
be made productive again. In
Washington gibberellin treated
sweet cherry trees have pro
duced fruit and better color.
The ripening of the fruit has
also been delayed which extends
the marketing season. Yield in
creases have been observed on
corn and a larger boll set on
cotton.
Other studies are being con
ducted with strawberries,
grapes, tobacco and ornament
al crops such as roses, ca
mellias and others.
Ithis is a brief progress re
port for your Information and
not a recommendation that you
treat everything around the
house with gibberellin.
It seems apparent that this
natural hormone, properly
used, holds much promise in
helping solve our ever-Increas
ing needs for food and fiber.
Hams, president of the State
Ushers Convention; and Deacon
S. A. Davis, president of the
church Union of the original
Shiloh Association, and presi
dent of the Church Recreation
Council of the Memorial Re
creation Forest, Inc. all added
suitable remarks. A special
solo was rendered by Sister
Josephine Peace.
Miss Barbara Peace delivered
the gift?a purse of $105? to
the pastor and his wife, who
were resigning to spend the rest
of their lives in the leadership
of the development of the Me
morial Recreation Forest, Inc.
A picture and professional
services of the retiring minis
ter were given to each family
present.
Salesmen
Two insurance salesmen
stopped at a country store for
a Coke. They couldn't help but
notice the big bags of salt
stacked all over the store, in
corners, on the shelves, and
under the counters. There were
two adjoining sheds to the build
ing, and they too were piled
high with bags of salt.
"My goodness, you surely
must sell a lot of salt," they
remarked to the old man be
hind the counter.
"Wal, naw, we don't sell
much salt," the storekeeper
said. "But I tell you who
does. That young fella who
comes around here wonst
month ? now he sells a lot
of salt."
