Pituitary Gland

At the base of the brain lies the
pituitary gland, which secretes a
hormone. If too much hormone is
produced we have circus giants; if
too little, midgets. Though this is a
widely accepted view, there are
doubters. The pituitary gland, it is
argued, does not stand alone. It is
part of a system which includes
the thyroid, the adrenals (they lie
lust above the kidneys), the sex
glands and others. Some forms Of
dwarfsm in rats are remedied by
the administration of thyroid ex-
tracts. So far as the evidence goes
il is just as reasonable to argue
that hormones from the adrenals or
the sex organs, acting together, also
stimulate growth. However, scien-
lists settled the question by extract
ing from the anterior lobe Of the
pituitary a growth hormone which
is pure and which win have no ef-
feet on any other gland.

Better BrOilers

Broiler growers will be market.
ing 3s4 to 4-pound birds at Is weeks
of age, as soon as fast growing
strains of chickens are sorted out,
and animal protein feeds are avail
able, poultry specialists say. Con-
sumers are demanding better
fieshed birds with more meat in
proportion to bone, and with round
er breasts, whether the birds are
sold as broile-s, fryers or roasters.
Rapid growing birds consume less
feed for each pound Of gain in
weight so development Of improved
strains of broiler stock will make
more money for the broiler grow
ers. These fast growing strains of
birds also start growth of feathers
early, so that at marketing time they
do not have bare backs or many
pinfeathers. Hatcheries and poul-
try breeders can soon develop fast
growing and fast feathering strains
of chicks, as was shown in tests
with New Hampshire stock at the
University of Maryland, by picking
as breeders at Matching time the
chicks that have well developed sec
ondary feathers. A check at 10 days
of age. will show that chicks with
well developed tail feathers are also
fast growing and fast feathering
birds.

Hardy Varieties Needed
In Growing House Plants

Probably the most important
thing in raising house plants is to
select varieties that viii Withstand
the unfavorable growing conditions
found in the average home. Num-
Der one on the list is the Sansevieria
zeylanica or in the American
language" bowstring hemp or
snake plant. Two varieties with
various yellow leaf stripings as well
as the original gray and green
leafed one are available. Aspidis-
ira lurida or cast iron plant, with
its wide dark green coarse leaves,
is almost as durable.
Hedera helix, the common Eng
lish ivy, and its many varieties may
be grown either in soil or water.
Select stems with firm, mature
leaves for growing in water, and in
any case be on guard for red
spider.
The jade plant or Japanese rub
Der plant, known to the florist as
Crassula arborescens, with its thick
feshy leaves, stands up well under
poor treatment if the soil is al
lowed to dry out well between each
watering. Peperomia and its varie-
gated relatives all have hardy hand
some foliage. Philodendron corda-
tum is recommended, along with
ivy, for an easily grown vine.

Technical Data Serves as
Guide in Selecting Clothes

A study of the physical properties
Of FIVE different groups Of wool, ray
on and cotton materials shows
how technical data can serve as a
guide in the selection Of clothing ma
terials.
For example, the wool herring
bone suitings studied would make
excellent suits and coats, the re-
port states. Their weight and fuzzy
texture help keep in body warmth.
Also, they have an added advantage
in that they resist wrinkling.
The spun rayon challies and twills
tested conducted heat readily, and
so would not be desirable for wear
in very cold weather. However, they
proved strong and durable, and
would make serviceable dresses or
sport clothes when warmth was
Of minor Importance. These fab
RIGS reacted particularly well to
laundering and dry cleaning.
Cotton gabardines which were
tested would be especially suitable
for Stacks and shorts, work clothes,
children's winter playsuits, and 9th
er garments where sturdiness is
needed. Since gabardine is closely
woven, it would be a wise selection
for clothing to be worn in heavy
wind.
