Brackett, 336 Weed-Killer Modified I To Promote Growth The successful chemical weed killer 2, 4-D has now been modi fied so that certain forms of it are beneficial to tomato plants, according to preliminary tests made by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, E. ft. Collins, in charge of agronomy extension at N. C. State College, reports. Ordinary unmodified ? 2, 4-D harms tomato plants, curling the leaves, stopping growth, and even killing some of the plants. Modi lied 2,4-D caused fruit to "set" and tomatoes developed without pollination. These tomatoes were of Increased size and excellent quality. Dr. G. EX Hllbert, chief of the Bureau of Agricultural and - In dustrial Chemistry, emphasized that work thus far has been done under controlled greenhouse con ditions, and that further studies, including field tests,- are neces sary before there can be applica tions of commercial value. Sclen tits of the Bureau of Plant Indus try, Soils, and Agricultural En gineering are cooperating in the research. . The weed-killing type of 2,4-D Is very potent, destroying not on ly weeds, but also some cultivated plants. This limits its usefulness. By modifying the original 2,4-D by chemical combination with cer tain amino acids prepared in the laboratory, chemists and plant physiologists were able to pro duce the modified 2,4-D which helped the tomato plants, USD A scientists Are continuing their experiments, hoping to dis> cover other chemicals possessing either the power to kill weeds or to help plant growth. While tomato varieties resis tant to fusarium wilt have been developed and are marketed, there are no commercial varieties with resistance to bacterial wilt.

The publication points out that In recent years there has been a trend towards replacing all of the hens each year with pullets, and most commercial egg producers make this a regular practice. "Hens generally lay about 25 per cent less eggs the second year than they do the first year. Pullets of the same breeding will not only la>* more eggs than will hens, but they will lay a larger per cent of them during the fall and early winter when prices are higher," according to the authors.
