ON THE TRAIL OF THE FUSARIUM SPORE 163 



I have, and noticing the effect of care, treatment, and 

 proper nourishment on increased production and the 

 better quality of the resulting product, I am more 

 convinced than ever of the great field for improve- 

 ment that we have in creating better citizens for 

 our country, by using the same careful methods with 

 our children as we do with our plants. If the moth- 

 ers and fathers of America would exercise the same 

 care in bringing their children into the world and in 

 their development that they do in growing their 

 pigs, horses, cattle and plants, the Nation could be 

 most wonderfully advanced within two generations, 

 and some day I hope that through such work as this 

 the people of our country will realize these great 

 possibilities."
