A SECOND INDUSTRIAL FELLOWSHIP FOR THE IN¬ 
VESTIGATION OF PLANT DISEASES BY THE N. Y. 
STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, 
ITHACA, N. Y. 
Supported by C. W. Stuart & Co., Newark, N. Y. 
The Department of Plant Pathology desire to announce, 
through your columns, the foundation of a second industrial 
fellowship. This fellowship has been established by the 
nurserymen of the C. W. Stuart Co., of Newark, N. Y. It is 
for the investigation of the nature and control of the 
diseases of nursery stock, with particular reference to the 
Fire Blight or Pear Blight as it appears in nurseries. This 
fellowship which is to continue for a period of two years 
carries with it an annual salary of $500.00 a year and 
$250.00 per year to carry on the investigation. The work, 
during the growing season, is to be conducted in a field 
laboratory in one of the nurseries of the above Company or 
in such other nursery in the State of New York as may be 
mutually agreed upon by the parties concerned. Mr. V. B. 
Stewart, who took his Bachelor’s Degree last June from 
Wabash College, Indiana, and who is specializing along the 
line of plant disease work, has been appointed to this fellow¬ 
ship. Mr. Stewart spent the summer of 1909 in one of the 
nurseries of the C. W. Stuart & Co., near Orleans, N. Y., 
being directly in charge of the problem of controling the 
“Fire Blight’’ in this nursery. The result of the summer’s 
work was so satisfactory that the nursery company has 
considered it profitable to provide for the continuation of 
the investigation in the form of the fellowship, as above out¬ 
lined. The College of Agriculture is free to publish any or 
all of the results of these investigations at any time. This 
is the second such fellowship established this year in the 
Department of Plant Pathology. The first, reported some 
time ago, is the Niagara Sprayer Company Fellowship 
established for the investigation of the value of Lime Sulfur 
as a summer spray. It is expected that several more such 
co-operative arrangements will be made for the investiga¬ 
tion of plant disease problems of pressing importance in this 
State. The results of the past season’s work will be briefly 
described in the forthcoming bulletin from the Department 
of Plant Pathology, dealing with the general problem of 
Fire Blight both in orchards and in nurseries. The growers 
in the State desiring to receive a copy of this bulletin should 
send a request for the same to the College of Agriculture.

HARRISON EXTENDS NURSERIES 
The nursery area of the already extensive grounds of 
Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., has been, considerably in¬ 
creased the past year. They have added more than one 
thousand acres to the land on which stock is grown. In the 
new area some 3,000,000 peach seedlings were budded last 
season; 1,000,000 apple trees recently budded and 
1,000,000 a year old; 100,000 to 200,000 cherries; 500,000 
grape vines, in addition to a considerable area of bearing 
orchards. The packing sheds have been enlarged and two 
different shipping points have been added, one located at 
Ironside, Md., and one at Friendship, Md., the latter 
especially for the growing of strawberry plants and potatoes. 
J. M. Pitkin of C.W. Stuart & Company, Newark, N. Y., 
left for the Pacific Coast the last of November, going by 
way of the Northwest where he expects to look into the fruit 
growing of the Pacific Slope, thence to California and south¬ 
ern points, returning to the East by one of the southern 
routes in five or six weeks.
