MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 143 
is, of course, vitally important that the best possible men that 
are available should be selected. We should be very glad to 
know if you have any one in mind who would like to apply for 
the fellowship in the phytopathological phase and, if so, we 
should be glad to have a statement of the applicant’s qualifi- 
cations. 
‘“The Institute is advised that several state universities and 
experiment stations will offer facilities for carrying forward 
the investigations if some part of them should be located at 
these places. We shall be glad to know if you are interested 
and to have any word that you may eare to send.”’ 
After consultation with Dr. Moore, Director of the Garden, 
the facilities of the Graduate Laboratory were promptly 
offered, and Mr. H. C. Young, then research assistant in plant 
physiology and instructor in botany at the Michigan Agricul- 
tural College, was nominated for the fellowship. Mr. Young 
had taken work in the Graduate Laboratory during 1915-16. 
At a meeting of the committee of the Institute on May 25 
the Garden was selected as the location for the fungicidal 
aspect of the work, and Mr. Young was appointed to the fel- 
lowship, the work to be carried out under the supervision of 
Doctor Duggar. Mr. Young began his work shortly after 
July 1, and notes on the progress of these investigations will 
be recorded as it proceeds.
