167 
varieties of both oats and sorghum have been extensively studied 
and interesting data have been obtained. 
Plans: 
Many unsolved problems in connection with the general project 
remain for solution. It is proposed to continue studies along the 
most promising lines. At present, studies on the inheritance of 
disease resistance in hybrids and the discovery of specialized races 
of parasites are being prosecuted.
