Much of the work done Is of the kind vyhlch brings lt> greatest return^ after there has been time for the commercial development of discoveries. T& combating plant diseases a great, deal of progreas ^ has been made through obtaining highly resistant or -v T Immune struins by. trial nnd selection. In this way strains of wheat have been secured syhteh promise to he valuable In Bectlons where bunt bag damaged this crop. Varieties resistant to Hag smut are betdg developed, and tbls dlsease Is no. longer considered the men. ace It wag thought to be a few years I i ago. Attempts are being made to grow strains resistant to Jiolh Iff ftmut and rosette. In the study of scab, ^ a disease which damages both -wheat and corn, It hfts been-discovered that wheat seedlings are more resistant | B when grown at comparatively low soil ^B^. temperatures and that corn' .seedlings 9 are more resistant td it when the soil r fs warm. Bsrbeary eradication was . carried on Extensively In. co-operation with a number of states for the control of thick stem rust. and up to the present time nearly fl,000,00d haspes have been eradicated.
