"Tlhe Coastal Plain Station is primarily a research institu tion for the southeastern agri cultural district in North Car olina. A visitor coming to the Station at any time can secure information on some particular phase of the Station’s activity, but much of the work is done by specialists who do not reside at the Station but come there at certain /times to look after their particular line of research”, Dr. Charles Dearing, assistant director in charge, asserted as he pointed out that Field Day offers an excellent opportunity for the people of Southeastern North Carolina not only to visit the Station, but to make con tact with the specialists and research workers who will be present on this occasion. The Station is arranging a series of exhibits for the pur-I pose of presenting the results of investigational work under way, and those exhibits are be ing set up by the research workers who will be available to answer questions pertaining to their subject. For example, if one is inter ested in insect problems he will find tile entomology booth not only an interesting exhibit of insects of different kinds, but will also find Dr. Leiby, State Entomologist', wiho will be plea sed to answer questions regard ing insects and their control. On the other hand, if one is troubled with diseases of plants he will find a pathology booth and exhibit set up by G. A. Meckstroth, Small Fruit Path ologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who is station ed at Willard. Dr. Poole, Path ologist, State College, and Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension Path ologist, are cooperating with him in putting on a good exhi bit relating to the diseases of plants. While it is late for such an exhibit, Dr. Poole and Dr. Shaw are making an effort to have some of the tobacco dis eases on display, and these three Pathologists will be available to answer all kinds of questions relating to the dis eases of plants.
