PAGE EIGHT Horticulturists Give Tom ittoas ew Life By 80881 BOTWICK Horticulturists on campus are reaching back across the centuries to put new genetic life into tomatoes. A program, based on cross ing more than 60 "aboriginal" strains of tomatoes with mod ern vericties, has ,been started to infuse some of the good qualities of these ancient strains into to day's product. The seeds were collected on an expedition to Mexico last fall by Dr. Russell E. Larson. head of the Department of Horticul ture. He traveled under the aus pices of the Rockefeller Foun dation during a sabbatical leave. The seeds collected by Larson are from strains that have existed with little change for ,:enturies. The rigors of the climate have given the surviving strains su perior vigor and adaptability, Larson said. He said that he hopes that some of the desirable characteristics can be built into our modern strains. Using open fields in the sum mer and green houses in the Hi-Fi Set Damaged High-fidelity equipment, which had been recently installed in Carnegie Building was reported slightly damaged. Several wires leading to a turn table had been cut in what seemed to be an attempt to remove it from the building, Huriimel Fish burn, head of the Department of Music, said last night. Fishburn said he couldn't say definitely if this had been an at tempt to steal the Machine, since one wire was cut that could easily have been pulled out from its socket. Because the damage occurred over the weekend the room, which was formerly kept open seven days a week, is now locked on, Saturday and Sunday, he said.

One immediately practical re sult sought by Larson concerns the development of tomatoes that will be easier to pollinate than ex isting varieties. He collected sev eral "exserted" strains, that is, tomatoes in which the pistil, where the pollen is deposited for fertilization, extends through and outside the blossom. ,He said, "Much time and labor could be saved annually if this "exserted" characteristic can be built into the varieties used as 'female parents in F-1 hybrid tomatoes." Larson said this is a slow, laborious process and hy brid tomato seeds are expensive. Larson said that some of the present Mexican strains produced exceptionally large, though rough and serrated fruits. He is interest ed in retaining the size of the Mexican strain while crossing with smooth skin and round shape of .present-day strains. DOW IN s ahitiFs?
