Extension of Work in Plant Pathology 



Mr. J. A. McClintock has resigned his position as Extension 

 Specialist in Cotton, Truck and Forage Crop Diseases, to which 

 he had been appointed under a joint project between the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture and the Georgia State College of Agri- 

 culture, and will hereafter be located at Experiment. During the 

 coming year it is planned to enlarge the work materially, both 

 along extension and investigational lines. Plans are under con- 

 sideration which will result in the appointment of two or three 

 additional specialists. Mr. McClintock's successor will be ap- 

 pointed as soon as a suitable man is located. In addition there 

 will be a specialist who will devote his entire time to corn diseases, 

 especially the root rots. A third specialist will have charge of the 

 disease of small grains, the emphasis being directed toward the 

 perfection of control measures for smut and rust. 



The Plant Disease Survey of the past season has been wonder- 

 fully productive of results. The college now has in hand com- 

 plete data as to the prevalence and extent of each of the com- 

 mercially important diseases. During the coming year it is 

 planned to detail a specialist in disease survey to the state for 

 several months to assist in the work. 



The laboratory and greenhouse facilities for the use of the 

 Division of Plant Pathology will be considerably augmented and 

 the investigative work will be extended as a result. All research 

 work and extension activities for the state will be carried on 

 directly from the college, under the direction of the Division of 

 Plant Pathology.
