"One of the best methods of working 

 out the problems of a special industry, 

 such as the nurserymen's, is that 

 adopted by the Cornell, N. Y., experi- 

 ment station. The plant pathology de- 

 partment of that institution has ar- 

 nuged for the establishment of what 

 they term investigatorships, Or indus- 

 trial fellowships. Several of these in- 

 vestigatorships have already been estab- 

 lished, and some of them have been in 

 successful operation several years. One 

 of these has been in cooperation with 

 various nursery companies for the in- 

 vestigation of the method of control of 

 the fire blight, which is a serious nur- 

 serymen's problem in New York state. 

 Under the terms of this investigator- 

 ahip, the association or company wish- 

 ing the work done provides funds for 

 the hiring of one or more assistants 

 whose duty it shall be to investigate 

 thoroughly the problems in question. 

 The work is under the close supervision 

 of those in charge of the department 

 of plant pathology at the experiment 

 station, who outline the work and give 

 advice and direction, as needed. The 

 final results are published, and thus be- 

 come available to all concerned. 



"Under this method the nurserymen 

 of any particular state could cooperate 

 in raising a fund for the investigation 

 of problems which might be peculiar to 

 the conditions of that state. This same 

 method could also be applied to the 

 investigation of nursery problems other 

 than those relating to plant diseases." 



BOOT GALL NOT DANQESOUS. 



According to the report of E. A. 

 Smith, chairman of the committee on 

 root or crown gall, at the Portland con- 

 vention of the A. A, N., the investi- 

 gations which have been carried on dur- 

 ing the last year would indicate that 

 root, or crown gall, is not so dangerous 

 as some state inspectors believe. In 

 spite of the fact that consignments of 

 stock have been burned and heavy 

 losses inflicted upon the nurserymen De- 

 cause some inspectors have detected 

 traces of crown gall, the investigations 

 seem to show that its eflfect is trifling, 

 if any, other than causing trees to bear 

 early. 



The Maryland sub-committee, J. G. 

 Harrison & Sons, stated: "Our own 

 plantings and experience the last year 

 confirm the belief, more than ever, that 

 root gall is less dangerous than it has 

 been considered in the past. Some peo- 

 ple want a tree that will mature fruit 

 at an early age. I am inclined to think 

 that rop^ gall is not severe on a tree, 

 as it nas a tendency to have it come 

 into bearing at an earlier stage." 



A. E. Bobinson, the Massachusetts 

 sub-committee, reported: "So far as 

 we can see, there is no perceptible dif- 

 ference in the growth made by trees 

 infected with crown gall, previously
