Cremated in Florida, interment interment in Orono Cemetery later in year. 23, a.c. Tomorrow's plants deep-frozen today Next decade's crops may be grown from plants deep-frozen this year. Scientists at the National Research Council's Prairies Regional Laboratory in Saskatoon have developed a way to deep-freeze plant tissues and store them to be cloned years later. (Clones are identical descendants of plants or animals grown from cells taken from the parent.) The researchers treat tissue from a plant's growing shoot tip ("apical meristem") with chemicals that protect the tissue from damage by extremely low temperatures. After treatment with these "cryoprotectant" chemicals, the plant tissue is gradually cooled to the temperature of liquid nitrogen (- 196 C.) In trials with strawberries and peas, the researchers were able to grow complete plants from meristem samples that had been stored frozen for two years. They also cloned the tissues to produce several hundred genetically identical plants. The method can also be used to produce healthy descendants from diseased plants. The researchers merely take meristem cells which have not yet been infected by disease. The regenerated plants are genetically identical to the parents, but "are healthy. , < (Canadian Science News) We visited an angora goat farm near Sudbury recently. recently. There was cameraman Gord Danielson, soundman Mike Grippo, my wife Jenny, who's a production assistant assistant and myself. None of us had ever seen angora goats before. Not even Jenny, and she's a farmer's daughter. But there they were, smack in/the middle of the Nickle Belt area. We were all impressed. The goats were all friendly, fun, and as goalkeeper Hermine Tillich told us, they're a lot easier to handle than sheep. Hermine has about 70 goats and talks to them the way you'd talk to a group of children. ■ It was a bitterly cold morning but the sun was shining and the snow was glistening. It was a picture postcard setting with a squat farmhouse and barns in the background. the goats put on quite a show for us. Hermine herded herded them out of the barns and they trooped along willingly willingly despite the cold. Many of them looked directly into into Cord's camera and as Hermine called "Come on, girls," Mike was able to pick up some good sound of the goats uttering a "baaa" cry, a bit like a sheep. As we shivered through the shooting we learned something about the goats from Hermine. In the first place, angora goats don't have wool coats. Their fleece is mohair! They got their name from Angora, Turkey, where the breed originated. There qre about four farms in the Sudbury district that raise them. Until recently the only markets for the mohair were in the United States. But now ther's a new company company right in Sudbury. It's called "Naturally Mohair Inc." and it's buying up all the local mohair it can get. It's been a godsend, for the farmers. 1 We went over to the plant and met Doug Burke, the production manager, and Colombe Hinse, a Sudbury : designer who specializes in knitwear. ' We watched the hand-knitting machines in operation. The firm' is' turning out various mohair creations -- dresses, sweathers, and so on -- that one would knock your eyes out! Doug was saying that the items are be- in^ sold in shops and boutiques across the country, and now thçy're ready to hit world markets. It's an aggressive young company -- nothing sheepish about it. The products sell anywhere from $200 to $500. So even though they're being raised in Nipkel Belt Country, there's gold in them thar goats! £1 FRUIT MARKET Offers To.
