PLANT HORMONES OPEN NEW FIELD ■ * , .The use of plant hormone materials for the promotion of root develop­ ment on cuttings and other things is one of the latest sciences to be de­ veloped in the agricultural field and promises to become more valuable as the possibilities of hormones become thoroughly explored. There are now in the market sever­ al hormone preparations which if us­ ed according to manufacturers’ in­ structions should give good results. The hormone substances in these pre­ parations are: Indo-butyric acid, na- phthal-butyric acid, indole-acetic acid and* naphthal-acetic acid. These chemical substances made by labor­ atory process have the effect in pro­ moting root development when used in minute amounts. An over-dose will depress rooting rather than aid it, and this makes it necessary to use *it a rate of only a few parts per million. The manufacturers’ instructions em­ phasize and give the deails ergarding this. Some very fine results from the use of these hormone preparations have been obtained in the laboratory and under field conditions. The control of plant hormone pre­ parations now comes under the Fer­ tilizers Act which means that the pub­ lic is safeguarded against extravagant and misleading claims regarding them, MAN VOTES FOR PIE By Betty Barclay Pies, with lemon pie as first choice, constitute the favorite dessert of masculine America.
