 FOURTH OF TONNAGE
Packers Not to Oppose Or der Barring Canned Goods
 From Cars
sy A..oeIatsd prs.

Chicago, April 1.-The federal court de-
 ee disolving the packers will affect about one-fourth of the total tonage of unrelated food articles carried in the packers refrigerator cars, Richard O OHara, transportation expert of Swift &s Co. testified on cross examination by Clifford Thorne of the National Whole sale Groeers' Association in the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion here today The figures were based on the grocers' contention that lard sub stitutes are not packing house products, as maintained by the packers. About 6 per cent of the total tonnage is lard substitutes
 Asked if Swift & Co. would object to the entering of an order barring canned goods and fish from the company's cars. counsel for the company said they would not approve such an order but would not oppose it. George P. Boyle, counsel for Wilson X Co., declared his firm and the independent packers would seriously ob- 1ect to any order that would prevent them shipping any grocery items or other food products in their cars''
 MT. O'Hiara presented a proposed mix ture list, which he asked the commits sion to approve for shipment by the packers in private refrigerator cars The hearing, which has been in prog ress for week, was adjourned today and will be continued later at Wash ington.

LIFE OF PLANTS ]. DEPENDS ON LIGHT
 SCIENTISTS FIND
Experiments Prove Plants Can Be Made to Bloom Any Season By Regu-
 lating Light
By Associated Press

Washington, April 4.-Government agricultural experts have discovered that plant life seems to depend on light rather than temperature for nourish- inent and may be controlled by regu- lating the hours of light and dark ness.
 The principle is revolutionary but 1t rests on actual experiments in which it was demonstrated that plants subjected to alternate periods of light and darkness in carefully determined Iroportions could be brought to ma turity at any time of year.
 "Greenhouse experiments" says an announcement by the department of agriculture. prove that the Towering and fruiting period of practically any plant can be made to take place at any tune of year by darkening the green house in the morning and evening if the day is too long, or by lengthening the day by artificial light if the d9y is too short.
 Spring flowers and spring crops hap pen to be spring flowers and spring crops because the days at the season of their Towering and fruiting have the proper number of hours of day, light"

TEMPERATuRE DOESN'T MATTE

Temperature appeared to exert no influence in the tests A striking H. iustration of the relative unimport-
 ance of temperature was given in the fact that plants kept in the dark for a part of the day underwent in mid- summer the changes that in nature
 come in the fall and that heretofore
 have been attributed to lower temper
 atures.
 This was true even when the dark
 hours registered higher temperature than the outside atmosphere. Iris kept in artificial light for eighteen hours a day bloomed in two
 months, while others in the same tenn perature but without artificial exten- sion of the day required months lcnger.
 'The length of the day" the depart ments announcement said, lis proved to be the most potent factor" in de- termining the relative proportions be- tween the vegetative and fruiting rarts of many crop ltants. Indeed, fruiting may be completely suppressed new principle undoubtedly explains the cratic behavior which has been observed with many crops when theS are shifted to different attitudes" The new principle was said to ex- plain why many plants grow most luxuriantly near the northern limit of their rings, where the long day per- mits maximum vegetative growth be- fore the short day intervenes to start reproduction.

IMPoRTANT DISCOVERY

The discovering may be of the high. est importance in the future planning of cropping systems for different re- gions. Eventually 1t may be found according to W. w. Gaynor and H. A. Allard, scientists in the bureau Of plant industry who conducted ex- raustive experiments, that the animal organism also is capable of respond ing to the stimulus of certain day lengths. They believe that the migra- ton of birds may be an Illustration on the ground that direct response to such stimulus would be more in line with modern biological teachings than theories which assume that birds go south as a matter of instinct.
 Experiments were conducted with a large variety of plants. It was shown conclusively that too little "sleep," or
 in other words, too many hours of daylight, would prevent many plants from reaching the Towering and fruit ing stage.
 It was found also that plants would not reproduce except when exposed to a favorable length of day. although too much daylight for Towering and frufting might stimulate profuse vegetable growth.
 A length of day favorable both to reproduction and growth results in the lever bearing type of fruits

NOTABLE EASTER SERVICE.

Easter Sunday was a notable day at
the First Congregational church of this
city. Despite the wind and cold, large
numbers were present at all the ser.
vices. Nearly one hundred people
gathered at the $50 a. m. hour Of
prayer, and it proved TO be tender
and thouchng tribute to the risen Christ.
The Easter music by the large choir
was unusually cheering and uplifting
and many words of commentator have
been heard.
The pulpit platform was memorable
scene of bloom and fragrance. Even
flowers add their tribute of praise to
earth's Redeemer.
Thirteen people received the rites of
Christian baptism in the lecture room
at the close of the Sunday. school session.
The outstanding event of the day.
activities came at the morning hour of
public worship when forty-three people
were given the right hand of welcome
into church membership by the pastor,
Rev. A. II. Schoenfeld..
1t was indeed a day freighted with
gIadness and rejoicing for all who wor-
SHIPPED at this church on Easter Sunday.
