Group,
I read something very interesting in my (just received) 1999 Seed
Savers Exchange Summer Edition Flyer, It seems a molecular biologist has
come up with a new potato variety called "New Leaf" that produces it's own
insecticide, one bite from a bug on this plant and it's doomed! This plant
was created by using some genes from Bt. (Bacillus thuringiensis) an organic
insecticide, (WE NEED THIS!) imagine, a bug proof AG plant! Anyway it was a
rather long and technical article explaining how everything was done and the
outcomes, my scanner doesn't work well on small print so if someone has one
that does I could send it by snail mail and that person could e-mail it to
interested parties, (Harold) I'll send a copy directly to you if your
interested, just e-mail your address.-----(Elkskin)
