sist Dr.. Goothold Steiner of Berne
University, Research Fellow at Yale,
in microscopic study OF the Memo,
tode, described as an animal that
annually does millions of dollars
worth of damage TO plants amid veg
etables.
These tiny worin-like animals are
to be found in human beings as well
as in the earth. There are 40 or so
varities in humans. Ten per cent
ara classed as predatory, that is,
they eat animals, while the remain
ing 80 per cent eat vegetation.
DIR. Steiner and Miss Heinly are to
study means of reproduction of the
predatory type so they will eat the
plant eaters and eradicate them. One
predatory type will eat 80 types Of
the vegetable eaters.
The plant nematodes anchor to a
root OF vegetable and eat the sub
stance there, causing it to wfther.
A great colony makes root knot
The laboratory work will be to find
the best conditions suited to the
growth OF the predatory nemotade.
DIR. Steiner came to Yale from
Switzerland to study this nematode.
He has raised male and female, or
brought about what scientists call a
mutation. The progeny OF the new
female type retain the characteristics
