YOUNG PINES FINED
 FOR SHOWER BATH
 NEW ORLEANS, La.-tP)-The southern forest experiment sta- ton recently rigged up on "out- door shower bath" to solve the problem of growing pine-tree cut tings.
 "For years," says E. L. Dem- mon, director, "foresters had been sloshing pine cuttings in assorted harmones and other exotic plant foods. Nothing seemed to help them take root.
 ''Not long ago we hit on the idea of setting up a sysem of overhead water sprays, keeping the cuttings drenched. It clicked"
 AS a result of the experiment the south may some day boast su- per-producing turpentine trees. Selected trees yield up to 10 times as much turpentine and rosin as ordinary pines, Demmon said.
