(CP)-- Chinooks, warm winds that re- sult in fantastic rises in tempe- ratures in southwestern Alberta, May have unpleasant conse- quences, says a government sci- entist. : .| Experiments by Dr. Ron Hi- ronaka at the Lethbridge fed- eral-research station show that .|sheep, when suddenly exposed to a much higher temperature. exhibit the fever symptoms of extreme: stress similar to those of animals in a hot climate with vitamin A deficiency. Some de- velop virus pneumonia. Dr. Hironaka says there are two ways te relieve the stress. One is to cut off feed for a day. The other is to feed the animal an adequate supply of vitamin A -- 100,000 international units every two weeks. Chinooks, which may result in temperature rises of 40 to 60 degrees within hours, are fairly common in southwestern Ab berta. Hormone Aids Plant Growth VANCOUVER. (CP)--Thirteen years of research by biologist D. J. Wort went into develop- ment of a plant hormone that is | producing bigger and healtier/ crops for farmers m North America and Europe. The hormone, known as 2,4-D, now is being produced and sold commercially on both conti-! nents. British Columbia professor) @idin't receive a nickel for pa- tents, : "The companies profit- ing from the sales are meeting their responsibilities by estab- ishing scholarships and re- search funds at various univer- sities," says Prof. Wort. The hormone was actually de- veloped by scientists during the Second Worki War as a poten- | tial killer of enemy crops, If) used im concentrated form, it kills plants, Prof. Wort discovered, how- ever, that if used in precise! amounts in sprays and dusts! combined with certain - plant) minerals, 2.4-D actually stime-| jates plant growth and de- creases the incidence of disease. The mest dramatic results have been achieved with potato crops. In some cases, farmers reported imcreases of up to) three tens an acre after using Prof, Wert's formula.

Since that time the truck has: become 57 vehicles and the organization has ac- quired over one hundred em- ployees. In 1952 Sam Esposito joined his brother and a few months later another brother, Rocco, did the same. Three years later the three such as iron, copper, zinc, man- ganese and boron.

They estab- lished a bake-shop and from then on the facilities of their refreshments service were con- Tony's house was the head of- fice, and altogether 'the old plant. was. expanded six times before the business moved. In 1963, when three separate buildings were being 'used, it was decided to move the organ- ization into new quarters, so that everything might be con- ducted under one roof. The new plant at 800 Farewell is the re- sult of this decision, When Tony started his busi- ness he served five locations and a number of construction sites. All these original locations are "In some way which we don't yet understand fally the metals take away the killing power of) 2,4-D and yet allow it to retain! its hormonal action when used | im proper concentrations." | Until 1957, seven years after) Prof. Wort began his research, UBC was the only centre im the world where the 2.4-D experi- ments were being conducted with hopes of achieving a plant stimulant, Following Prof. Wort's initial Successes, similar research was taken up at the University of California agricultural college at /Davis, Calif., and at the Uni- Still served by the organization, with the addition of a majority of the firms in Oshawa. tinually expanding: At point/ Our Very Best Wishes to TONY'S on their Recent New Expansion TOMMY GOCH SUPERTEST SERVICE STATION 437 Simcoe St.$. -- 723-2122 Our Sincere Congratulations is the combined use of minerals versity of Leeds in England.
