Il. v. Experimental Station)

DR.. d. r. Porter of the Truck
Crops division OF the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Davis, Cali
fornia, will be in the Valley June
% to 80 inclusive. He will harvest
and take careful notes on the wilt
resistant strains of watermelons be-
ing grown for him at the Imperial
Valley experiment, station. He will
also inspect a number OF the COM
mercial fields of watermelons In
this section. DIR. Porter developed
the wilt resistant Klondike RI
melon, and has number of other
selections in test 1t might be well
for Interested watermelon growers
to see him while he Is here.
1t is too often the case that we
forget or ignore the plant breeder
until we face failure because OF
some disease. Plants producing bet
ter quality, meeting the require
ments of consumer demand, and
resistant or immune to prevalent
diseases do not just happen along
at the opportune time. But, they are
usually the result of long and ardu-
Gus work on the part Of a man or
group of men devoting their lives
to the advancement OF agriculture
The problem may be to develop
a variety OF barley of better quality
or higher yield; it may be water
melons or beans or flax or alfalfa
resistant to wilt; it may be lettuce
resistant to brown rot, wheat re-
sistant to 'curley-top disease, Or it
resistant to mildeW, sugar beets re-
sistant to curley-top disease, or J
may be grain sorghum resistant
to root-rot disease. No matter what
the crop or problem may be. there
are experts working diligently to
solve it. These experts are not
the forgotten men, but too often
they are the unheard of men. New
crtheless, without them the wheels
of agricultural progress would soon
cease Give these boys a hand. Ex-
press your appreciation to these
men who are, beyond doubt,
among the farmers best friends.
and for your own sake keep in
formed on the latest development
of the crop or crops in which you
are depending for a livelihood.
