Ciba Seeds, made the presentation. “We think
the power and potential of European com borer
protected com plants is exciting,” Lehmann said.
“We believe it will reduce the risk of this insect
for American agricultuyre, and we believe it’s
just the begining of what can be done with bio
technology.”
Lehmann said com borer damage across the
nation on the average takes seven to 1S percent of
the yield. With borer protected plants, 2.S mil
lion acres of com could be available for other
uses; 100,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer would
not be needed; 22.5 million gallons of fossil fuel
would not be needed; $5O million in pesticides
would not be needed. “That’s the power the tech
nology has,” Lehmann said.
European com borer protected plants could
increase yield equivalent to 66 percent of com
production in France, total production in Canada,
twice the needs of France, 20 percent of the needs
in Brazil, and 15 percent of the needs in the U.S.
While the registration process is formidable, it
is not as stringent for biological products as with
chemical products.
On the present time schedule, Ciba officials
expect European com borer protected hybrid
seeds to be on the commercial market by 1999 or
at the turn of the century.

Holmes Morton as the attending physician. Dr.

hereditary diseases. Bytesting all newborn
babies of high-risk percent-age, he has been able
to prevent irre-versible brain damage of many of
these young children. The same tests that are
done at the clinic for s 3s°° would cost *3so°°

these tests too expensive for many parents.

laboratory equipment are nuge, but with the
funds from this annual auction the clinic has
been able to offer this service to their clients at
