cal which moves freely among plants byway of their root systems. Say you put a bit on a leaf. The plant moves it rapidly down through itself to its roots and discharges it into the ground. There the roots of adjacent plants pick up the chemical and move it upward to their leaves. Thafs a very clever trick for scince to puli on vegetables. It is another step toward the day when vegetables will be as thoroughly man’s slaves as machines

; are. Vegetables now have stubborn ways of their own. The newly “invented' chemical is a growth regulator. Plants have away of insisting upon over growing, of developing more foliage than they need to produce the parts upon which people feed. Could Make Plant Behave If you could put an end to such inefficiency, you’d be making a vegetable behave as you want it to behave—as you make a machine behave. The problem is how to do it with little effort and at small xpense 4 Four scientists at the ILS, Department of Agriculture’s Plant Research Laboratories at Beltsville, Md., began with existing evidence that when atoms of chlorine (a poisonous gaseous elements are added to the molecule of benzoic acid, you have a compound which a plant moves rapidly down to its roots and discharges into the ground. So Paul J. Under, James C. Craig. Jr., Frank E. Cooper, and John W. Mitchell toyed with the benzoic acid molecule. They added chlorine atoms here and there and tried out the various altered molecules on bean plants until they had one which not only worked but worked spectacularly. Sit «vts ' 2c .3; ■-frtriehloTObenzt>ie acid The experiments were reported to the Socity. Growth Regulator First, they showed its high efficiency as a growth regulator in single plants. But did it move from one plaqt to another byway of the roots? They showed it did by putting it on the leaves of a single plant and then seeing adjacent plants grow in the same regulated way as the treated •. sasaw It occurred to them, of course, that perhaps the chemical evaporated while still on the leaves and was transmitted to adjacent plants through the. atmosphere—or that treated leaves on one plan came into contact with untreated leaves on another. But these possibiliies were disproved conclusively. - ——— PIERRE, 3. D. — (IP) — South Dakota collected more taxes in 1957 than in 1956, but the revenue from the sales tax decreased.

On his first trip to Indiana, as on his second, he accepted an honorary degree from a university- The day before Macmillan went to Spencer, he was given an honoary doctorate at Indiana University.
