PLANT RESEARCH NEWS

Just a few words for The Echo this month to
let the folks know that the "P. R. D.” is still in
existance.
Fred Findley is our "Bachelor” at this time—
his wife and little daughter are enjoying the warm
sunshine at Myrtle Beach for a few days.
Lillie Nicholson is spending a week of her va
cation now. She said that she was going to stay
at home and do some work, but I have an idea
that she will spend part of her time some place
on a river bank, tempting the fish.
With only four people in our department a
long news column is impossible, so for this time,
