In plant pathology, work was begun on the olive knot and the root 

 rot or toadstool disease on citrus, almond, peach, and old oaks. 

 Under a gi-ant of $15,000 secured from the legislature of 1908-9 for 

 pathological work in the northern part of the State, attention was 

 given in a general way to pear, apricot, and peach diseases and 

 methods of their control. 



The cooperative work of the station included the selection of Lima 

 beans with growers of this crop, investigations carried on by county 

 entomologists associated with the entomological department of the 

 station, and irrigation work in conjunction with this office, compris- 

 ing the effects of different amounts of water for alfalfa, and the 

 evaporation of water from tanks and from the soil. A demonstra- 

 tion train was sent out from April 4 to 16, traversing about 700 miles 

 of the Southern Pacific system. It was manned by experts from the 

 college and station staff and fitted up with illustrative material from 

 the different departments.
