Plant Pathologists Meet 



The annual meeting of the Pacific 

 Division of the American Pliytopatho- 

 logical Society, which was held in Port- 

 land April 25 and 2C, resulted in the 

 presentation of many valuable papers 

 on plant diseases, followed by interest- 

 ing discussions on the various subjects. 

 The sessions of the society were at- 

 tended by plant pathologists from all 

 sections of the Pacific Coast and West- 

 ern Canada. Dr. F. D. Heald, Professor 

 of Plant Pathology at Washington State 

 College, president of the organization, 

 presided at the meetings and Professor 

 W. T. Home, Associate Professor of 

 Plant Pathology of the University of 

 California at Berkeley, was present in 

 his capacity of secretary. 



Although this was only the second 

 meeting of the Pacific division, which 

 was organized last year, the attendance 

 was large and interest in its delibera- 

 tions was sustained throughout the two 

 days' work. The program, which cov- 

 ered a wide list of subjects, was ably 

 presented by the various members in 

 attendance and the discussions brought 

 out many new points for the patholo- 

 gists to consider in fighting plant dis- 

 eases of fruit trees, truck crops and 

 cereals. Already the organization of 

 the Pacific division of pathologists has 

 resulted in a closer affiliation and 

 greater organized effort in stamping out 

 plant diseases, and is expected to ac- 

 complish much more in the future. 



In electing otficers for the society for 

 the ensuing year. Dr. F. D. Heald, Pro- 

 fessor of Plant Pathology at Washing- 

 ton State College, was re-elected presi- 

 dent; Dr. E. P. Meinecke, Forest Path- 

 ologist in charge of the Pacific Coast 

 Division of San Francisco, was elected 

 vice-president, and Professor W. , T. 

 Home, Associate Professor of Plant 

 Pathology at the University of Califor- 

 nia at Berkeley, was re-elected sec- 

 retary.

 ington; M. B. McKay, Corvallis, Oregon;
