providing for a five-year series of experi¬ 
ments, which will center upon the tomato 
industry, but which will probably include 
other vegetables before it is concluded. 
The Plant Pathologist will reside at 
Miami, and additional pathological work 
has been promised, so far as they are 
able to give it, from the Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, and we are hoping in the course of 
the next two or three years we can get 
at the fundamental causes of some of our 
troubles, and help out materially the 
problems that are troubling the truck 
growers. 
This is not to be confined to the East 
Coast, although the growers on the lower 
East Coast are being asked to put up a 
reasonable sum of money to carry the 
work on. 
I hope it will be possible for the path¬ 
ologist to be present at the Florida State 
Horticultural Society next year and make 
a preliminary report
