N. C. The Breeding of Grain-Tvpe Soybean Strains that are 



Superior to Existing Varieties in Agronomic Characters and 

 Possess Resistance to the Common Diseases . To (l) develop 

 soTbean strains that are resistant to shattering and lodging 

 and that produce high yield of good quality seed that sire 

 high in oil and protein; and (21 study inheritance of 

 resistance to certain diseases and to transfer resistance 

 to these diseases and resistance to bacterial pustule to 

 strains possessing good agronomic characters.

Ohio Development and Evaluation of Improved Varieties of 



Soybeans for Farm and Industrial Utilization . To (l) develop 

 by introduction, hybridization and selection improved strains 

 of soybeans adapted to Ohio: (2) cooperate throu^ U. S. 

 Regional Soybean Lab in interstate programs of exchange and 

 evaluation of basic breeding, stocks, segregating populations, 

 and promising new strains originating from breeding programs 

 of all cooperating states; (3) make genetic studies as they 

 may affect methods of breeding and field plot technique; 

 (4) assist in orderly, effective program of increase and 

 early distribution of foundation seed of new improved strains; 

 and (5) evaluate breeding material to existing varieties in 

 regard to reaction to soybean diseases prevalent in Ohio.

S. Dak. The Breeding and Testing of Soybeans. Sunflower. Saf- 

 flower. and Castor Beans for South Dakota . To (l) develop 

 and test new strains (as in title) especially adapted to 

 South Dakota; (2) locate new sources of earliness, drou^t, 

 disease and insect resistance, and quality for use in breeding 

 superior varieties; (3) cooperate with stations of adjacent 

 states and USDA by participating in conferences' and exchanging 

 breeding materials and information on improved methods, tech- 

 niques and varieties; and (4) study fundamental problems of 

 breeding behavior of these crops.
