COLUMBIA. Me. April 2.-Plant and

N-ray to encompass in a comparatively
brief period the development of new va

generations, it was announced today at
the experimental station Of the Mis-

The discovery, following three years
work by DR.. L. ]. Stadler Of the field

Missouri. speeds up many hundreds or
times the rate at which improved va

be developed. the announcement said.
N-Ray Influences Heredity.
Six thousand progeny, or families, OF
younS barley plants from N-rayed stock
are growing on the field crops expert
mental plot under DR.. Stadler's care.
In these groups the outgrowth Of hered-
itv has been violently influenced by ex-
posure to a powerful X-ray. DR.. Stad-
Ter expects TO fis6 new traits OF growth,
new qualities of grain, new rates OF
growth and rioeDing-ln fact, as great
a number of mutations as he could have
ex,lected in his entire life under the
old system Of patient selection and de-
velonment Of the rare or occasional ma-
tations in which Natures processes were
undisturbed,
An application Of StadleT's X-ray is
to be made this Spring on hundreds of
spple buds and twigs. All will be
marked and their growth and
ultimate frlliting two or three years
hence carefully watched, It is expected
entirely new types Of apples will be
borne.
New Era Is Claimed.

here said
DR.. Stsdler's discovery has been part

carried on during the same period of
years by Prof H j. Muller at the Uni

sured his life in four companies for
$S7 eco. naming his wife and Morris

Herkowitz's death. The suit was
filed in L. S. District court on July
