IN ACTIVE BUREAU.
Efforts Have Been Made to Improve
Agricultural Conditions.
MANY VARIETIES or PLANTS TESTED.
Valuable and New Products Have
Been introduced and Good Re-
suits Achieved in Combating
Disease Among Fruits.

| Washington, Dec. Bottle activity o
the bureau Of plant industry Of the de
partment of agriculture in Its effort
to improve agricultural conditions
throughout the United States Is Sc
forth in the annual report Of the di
rector Of the bureau, DR.. B. T. Gallo
way.
Cooperative work with the agricul'
tural experiment stations of the sever
| al states and territories has been ex-
tended. School garden work has been
assisted In many ways and 175,00C
packets Of seeds have been supplied to
schools. The work on cotton has in
cluded the conducting of demonstra-
ton and diversihcation farms and
breeding to secure early and weevil-
resistant types. Single germ beet gu
gar seed will soon be produced In
quantities sufficient for field demon
STATIONS New varieties Of hardy or.
anges, new pineapples and new races
of corn and cotton have been devel-
oped in the laboratory of plant breed
ing. Valuable strains of tobacco have
been obtained by hybridization. II
hos been shown that heavy seed pro-
duces better plants than light seed.
The growing Of winter wheat has
been extended In the southern portion
of North Dakota and Minnesota and
new cereals adapted to the southern
states have been developed.
A new date garden has been estab-
lished at Yuma, Ariz., especially for
the cultivation of varieties from the
Pesian gulf. The planting of grasses
as sand binders has produced import
ant results. l.-.l-
At the seed laboratory, 1884 germin-
alton tests for mechanical purity have
been made. OF 1920 samples Of seeds
obtained in the open markets, $50 were
found to be either adulterated or mis-
branded.
The foreign explorations have re-
suited in the securing Of many valu-
able varieties Of dates for the govern
ment date gardens in Arizona and Cal
ifornia and also many important dry |
land fodder plants.
The results achieved in combating |
OF orchard fruits have been
gratifying. Remedies for
the disease Of orange trees known as
dis-back have been discovered, and
the proportion affected in a region
where ten years ago 30 per cent. of
the trees were diseased has been re-
duced to less than one-tenth Of one
per cent. Disease-resistant grape
vines are being developed and propa-
gated.
In the congressional seed distribu-
ion nearly 96,0OO,O00 packets and
Of seeds and more than $780,
400 grape vines, strawberry plants and
,ulbs have been sent out.
