64 a EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



In addition to the new work undertaken during the year in 

 connection with the tobacco and onion crops, projects have 

 been accepted for investigations on Antirrhinum rust and a 

 systematic and ecological study of the grasses of the Connecti- 

 cut Valley. Work on the former was started by W. L. Doran, 

 a graduate assistant in the department, prior to his acceptance 

 in November of a position at the New Hampshire Experiment 

 Station, where he is continuing his investigations. It is ex- 

 pected that the results will be embodied in a thesis to be pre- 

 sented for the master's degree and published by this station. 

 The latter work will be conducted by Donald White, also a 

 graduate assistant in the department, and will form the basis 

 of his thesis for the doctorate. 



Progress has been made on all research projects presented 

 previous to the current year. Of these, investigation of tobacco 

 mosaic, which has been under way for several years, has been 

 completed, and early publication of the results may be expected.
