:. From the very beginning of farm
ling in this country, the bringing in of
new plants has had a fascination for
many men. AS matter of fact, a
great majority of our crop plants are
immigrants-that is, they belong to
older countries and older civilizations

lived. would have gladdened his heart
and made him realize in a tangible
way what a great pioneer work he
was doing.
To Meyer. plants appealed just as
to some people dogs or horses do,
and this intense interest made him
pack his collections with infinite pa
thence. wrapping them in moss and
Chinese oiled paper and burlap with
his own hands before sending them
by mail from some point in the in
terror of China to Washington.
The Office of foreign seed and plant
introduction has two agricultural ex-
plorers in the field at the present
time. Wilson Popence is exploring in
South American countries and J. F.
Rock is making extensive explora-
tons through Siam and Burma. Mr..
Popence is an old and experienced ex-
plorer. although quite young in years.

Not many years ago the depart

tried in a limited way in certain parts
of the south and southwest. Grad
now it has come to be one Of the chief
forage crops in the southern and
southwestern states. The annual
commercial value of this crop at the
present time is not far from

possibly not more than thirty-five or
