poorly and generally only a few plants are obtained from a shipment of seed. Of the several 

 hundred seedlings which have been grown, only a very few show particular merit. The most 

 valuable seem to be the L 253 and L 511. The L 253 seedling produces a very heavy tonnage 

 but the sugar content is no better than that of the native canes. The L 511 seedling is a 

 cane richer in sucrose than any of the canes ordinarily grown in Louisiana. — C. W. Edgerton.

 20: 271-275. 1920 [1921]. — Improvement in the milling quality of wheat is effected by mois- 

 tening the grain. Hard wheats are improved more than soft ones and dry wheats are improved 

 moie than wet ones. Improved milling quality of tempered wheat is due chiefly to physical 

 changes. The optimum conditions are: Temperature 20 to 25°C., time 48 hours, moisture 

 15.5 per cent. — D. Reddick.

 1917 [1919].— Edouard Ernest Prillieux, "the founder of phytopathology in France," was 

 born in Paris, Jan. 11, 1829, and died Oct. 6, 1915, at Mondoubleau (Loir-et-Cher). He was 

 educated at the old Institut National Agronomique (1848-1853), and immediately devoted 

 himself to the problems of vegetable pathology, particularly diseases of the vine. In 1887 

 he founded the Station de Pathologie Vegetale at Paris, and in 1894 furthered the establish- 

 ment of the Station Entomologique. A portion of the article is given to analysis of Prillieux' 

 scientific researches, and there follows a classified list of his publications, 184 in number. —

 Allg. Forst- u. Jagdzeitg. 38: 70. 1920.— Hungary loses over half of her coniferous forest to 

 Roumania, 36 per cent to Czecho-Slovakia, and 11 per cent to Jugo-Slavia. The situation is 

 similar in respect to beech and oak, so that the once well forested Hungary is reduced to 

 a wood importing country. — F. S. Baker.
