On Giibberellin
A word of caution on the new
hormone “Gibberellin” is being
passed on to Alaskan gardeners
by the University of Alaska Ex
tension Service.
“Gibberellic acid has not been
tested under Alaska conditions by
the agricultural research staff,”
said Harold Pillsbury, extension
horticulturist. He advised that
further field testing still will be
necessary to establish the useful
ness and limitations of the horrn
one, widely heralded in gardening
and farm journals.
Greenhouse and field testing ir
various states in the past twc
years has shown that the chemical
brings stem elongation and gen
erally only under adverse growing
conditions. Potentially useful maj
be the hormone’s stimulation oi
germination and seedling emer
gence in many crops.
“Gibberellin incorporated intc
seed protectant slurries used for
testing pea and beans will induce
earlier emergence of seedlings
from treated seed,” Pillsbury said
Potato seed pieces also may be
treated with gibberellin along
with the regular fungicidal dip. As
little as; one part per million ol
gibberellin in the treating solu
tion is sufficient. The hormone
also stimulates fruit setting, fruit
size and more uniform fruit de
velopment in many instances, in
eluding tomatoes. It may alsc
prove useful for flowering re
sponses and maturing of celery
Pillsbury said.

mittee. Mrs. D. R. Andree, Chairman of the Base Girl Scout Com
mittee thanked the Navy for allowing use of the land and buildings.
