Jerusalem — Israeli scien-
tists at Hebrew University
say there is hope for alcoholic
trees, that is, trees that pro-
duce alcohol in their roots,
due to lack of air in the soil,
when waterlogged from flood-
ing.
Apple, peach and apricot
trees are particularly suscep-
tible to waterlogging, says
Prof. Arye Gur of the univer-
sity's Faculty of Agriculture,
creating alcohol which
travels to and damages the
trees' branches, foliage and
fruit.
More resistant trees, how-
ever, produce less alcohol and
instead more malic acid,
which is harmless to them.
Prof. Gur has been able to
successfully imitate the
natural processes of these
more resistant trees; he
treats regular apple and
peach trees with chemical
growth regulators and
enzyme inhibitors that effec-
tively block alcohol forma-
tion. The chemical inhibitors
can be applied by the fruit
farmer in the irrigation
water; three applications
have been found to be suffi-
cient.
A related method of treat-
ing waterlogged trees that
drop their fruit before it is
sufficiently developed, is the

direct injection of chemicals
into the trunks of ailing
trees. This treatment resulted
in a 22 percent increase in
yield. The chemicals also im-
proved tree vigor and fruit
size of both peach and apple
trees.

New York — In an effort to
improve Jewish-Arab rela-
tions within Israel, the Na-
tional Council of Jewish
Women (NCJW) Research In-
stitute for Innovation in Edu-
cation at The Hebrew Uni-
versity of Jerusalem has in-
troduced a new project,
"Rules of the Game," aimed
at familiarizing Jewish and
Arab youths with the con-
cepts of democracy.
According to Professor
Chaim Adler, Director of the
NCJW Research Institute,
Jewish and Arab educators
first will work together in
this two-stage project to de-
velop a curriculum for demo-
cratic coexistence. During
stage two, the teachers will
implement the program in
their respective schools by in-
troducing the concept of
democracy.
