ArtifciaIIy Ripened
 Home Grown Dates

An interesting exhibit is be'ng made in 6 Tucson show window f arti- ticislly r'pened home grown ds'es. Dr A E vinson, biocremist of the ex- pertinent citation. snnounces that these experiment. make one of the important advances in the technique of date growing upon 6 commercial scale in Arizona.
 The Citizen says that pr Vinson recently found that the ripeping pro- cess may be initiated by treating the unripe fruit with s great variety of chemicals. These substances seem to set ss stimulsnts and once etsrted, the ripening goes on naturally. The final product IS fully equal to that ripened on tue tree. By the artificial process the whole bunch may be ripened st once instead Of individual points over period of several weeks ss occurs when left to mature.
 Another advantage of the method is that tie fruit may b~ shipped green and ripened at their dest; nation like ban mas are handled
