Dr. Gericke's current researches are directed toward controlling the colors and mineral contents of vegetables by varying the kinds and quantity of salts in the solution. He has grown tomatoes with double the normal content of beneficial minerals. In his ice box on the second floor of the university's Life Science Building are jars of tomato juice of different colors, one of which is a rich, ruddy red which he believes could be sold at a premium...
