Of ever increasing importance are the 
Laboratory and the Greenhouse where year 
around experiments can be made with the 
object of developing disease-free or resistant 
strains of peas, beans, and corn—so neces¬ 
sary to the production of quality seeds. 
This department is being most capably 
handled by Dr. M. E. Anderson, Plant Path¬ 
ologist, who received his degree and initial 
training at the University of Wisconsin at 
Madison, and Dr. A. L. Harrison, who has 
specialized in bean diseases, and whose de¬ 
gree was acquired at Cornell University 
of Ithaca, N. Y.
