The Crop Protection Institute. 



The first annual meeting of the Crop Protection Institute will have 

 been held at Rochester, New York, in connection with the New York 

 Horticultural Society's meeting, with a dinner on January 12th, at the 

 Rochester Chamber of Congress. 



It was announced that among those taking part on the program v/ould 

 be Professor W. C. O'Kane, of the New Hampshire Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, and Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Crop 

 Protection Institute, who was to talk on the ideals of the Institute; Dr. 

 L. R. Jones, Chairman of the Division of Biology and Agriculture of 

 the National Research Council, whose theme was to be the "Relation of 

 Environment to Disease and Disease Resistance of Plants ;" Dr. R. \Y. 

 Thatcher, Director of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 who was to speak informally on the "Need for Investigations in the 

 Chemistry of Insecticides and Fungicides." From the standpoint of 

 industry Mr. G. R. Cushman, of the General Chemical Company, was 

 to give a brief talk. Professor P. J. Parrott, of the New York Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, would also probably talk on Paradichloro- 

 benzene. 



The Crop Protection Institute, which has a membership of about three 

 hundred and fifty (350) prominent entomologists, plant pathologists, 

 agricultural chemists and manufacturers of insecticides and fungicides 

 and others interested in the protection of all kinds of crops, was organ- 

 ized only a year ago, under the auspices of the National Research Coun- 

 cil of Washington, D. C. The purpose of the Institute is not to dupli- 

 cate the work of individuals or other organizations, but to bring about 

 closer co-operation of effort, to strengthen the weak places and develop 

 needed investigations that are not being pursued by other agencies.
