 15. The production by plant breeding methods of a superior variety of 

 alfalfa, free, if possible, from the liairiness and stemmy character of Peruvian 

 alfalfa. Methods of determining the water requirements of different varieties 

 of alfalfa; and tlie biological analysis of alfalfa into its hereditary units with 

 manipulation of these units in constructive breeding, is within the scope of 

 this study.

 grain sorghum combining, if possible, the following characters : large, upright 

 head; uniform ripening; upright stalk; dwarf habit; earliness ; drought resist- 

 ance ; and large individual grains.

 corn to determine heat and drought resistant characters; and biological analysis 

 of these corns with a view to the use of hereditary characters in constructive 

 plant breeding operations.
