The year's work of the bureau of
plant Industry described In the report
recently made to the Secretary of agriculture
shows much progress In solelug
the problems of plant production,
tha control of diseases,, the breeding of
Unproved varletlea^'the Introductlon'of
promising.seeds and plants from foreign
countries and the development of
methods for the utilization of perishable
crops, such as fruits nnd vegetables.
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

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. Chemicals are being
used successfully to destroy the hushes
In pincejj'where digging is not practicable.

New varieties of ogia; have been sscured
In co-opera P.oh with state ex- ]
petirpent sta^ons ;ind n number of]
rhei:i are being, distributed: The root )

to require special soil management for]
their control; In some cases proper I
fertilization and Qirmylments are all J
tli.it is coq i;red, wbTl^ito control the
parasitic types crop rotation is needed !
In addition. Some new forage'crops ;
are being develt?i?ed and improved vn- j
rlofl s of common crops have been '
developed and new nietliods nre being
