seed planted. This work was carried
out at Glenn Dale under the direction
OF Benjamin Y. Morrison, chief of this
division.
The Office of Economic Administra-
tion entered into agreements with eight
Latin-American countries providing for
thorough exploitation of present Gin
chona resources. which in effect meant
cutting down and stripping the bark of
every tree which could be found. In re-
turn, these agreements stipulated that
the United States would establish ex-
pertinent stations and large commercial
plantations, provide the young trees,
and experienced horticultural personnel
to instruct the native technicians in the
operation of the plantations.
This latter constructive phase of the
agreements was entrusted to the Office
of Foreign Agricultural Relations, on
on whose staff were many experienced
tropical horticulturists. The immediate
result of all of this activity was the
establishment of the first nursery and
plantation near San Jose, Costa Rica, in
the late spring of 1912.

became firm friends.

Army school at Harvard, could not help

In few days came the sad news of

evident that the entire Philippines would
soon be in japanese hands. 1t thus be-
came of the utmost importance to SAL
wage seed of the high-yielding strain of
cinchona for planting in the tropics of
America. Despite the precarious state
OF his health, Col. Fischer carried on,
and with the help of loyal Filipinos he
succeeded in gathering several million
seeds, packing them carefully in moss in
sealed cans and flying them to the
United States through a thousand miles
of Jap-infested waters.

heroism on Bataan and carried to frui-
ton by the perseverance and skill Of
Government scientists, has it's setting at
the Foreign Plant Introduction Station
in nearby Glenn Dale Md. This activity
Is the growing of over half million
cinchona seedlings for shipment and
planting in tropical South American
plantations, where in the near future
they will provide the quinine 50 badly
needed by American troops abroad for
the prevention and treatment Of malaria.
The story Of quinine goes back to a
few months after Pearl Harbor when
our source Of supply was entirely cut off
by the japanese conquest Of Java, pro-
ducer Of IS per cent of the worlds quiz
nine. Faced with an impending shortage
Of this important drug, Vice President
Henry Wallace, as head Of the former
Off1ce Of Economic Warfare, in collabo-
Foreign Agricultural Relations, set out
to tap every available source OF cinchona
and to plan the development Of large
scale plantations In the Western Hemis-
phere.
Severe Handicaps
Both activities were Inaugurated under
severe handicaps. The Latin American
countries were not too anxious to have
their accessible stands Of cinchona
stripped clean; besides, the scarcity Of
labor made such exploitation difficult
and expensive. These countries were
more than willing to cooperate in the
establishment of huge plantations. but
they looked to the United States for seed
and technical assistance. and high
grade seed was nonexistent. That
which was available was comparatively
low -grade-not the valuable East Indies
variety known as Cinchona Ledgeriana.
1t is at this point that the story Of
heroic Army officer on Bataan comes into
the picture. Early in 1912 Col. A. r.
Fischer, then serving with the military
intelligence, lay in field hospital
gravely i'll with malaria. With the
supply of quinine practically gone, he
was determined to do what he could to
help himself and the hundreds of other
soldiers i'll with this disease. A combi-
nation of fortunate circumstances played
in his favor.
AS former head of the Philippine Bu-
reau OF Forestry, he had established an
experimental cinchona plantation on
Mindanao Island many years before.
Summoning the little energy which re-
manned in his disease ridden and enact
ated body, Col. Fischer few in a dhapi-
dated plane to the plantation 600 miles
away. Here he improvised such crude
equipment As he could gather and began

The scientists constantly check ther-
mometers, measure the water allotted
each frame, and painstakinely trans
plant seedlings in the overcroWded
termination frames. They realize that
their charges are irreplaceable The
Ledgeriana trees in these new planta-
tions will not bear seed fer seven years
and obtaining any from Java or the
Philippines is out of the question now.
Inspecting Tropical Forests
Mr.. Morrison satisfied with the good
record established in his nearby Mary
land station in less than two years, is
now on tour Of inspection of the thou
sands Of acres of plantations scattered
leo to Brazil. An outstanding specialist
in his field. he mas been with the De-
partment of Agriculture since 1919 and
chief of this division since 1884. He is
also director of the National Arboretum,
located in Northeast Washington oppo-
site Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Mr. Carl o. Erlanson, a department
ecoloelst, is serving as acting chief in
Mr.. Morrisons absence. He also has
travelled widely through the wild areas
of South America in search Of new
plants Of economic Importance for in
PRODUCTION into the United States. He
has been with the department about
eight years. previously serving on the
faculty Of the University of Michigan.
Mr.. Erlanson presented figures show
Ing the outstanding output Of the sta
ton until December /, 1943 AS of that
date a total Of 225,00O seedlings have

$500; Salvador, 5000; Puerto Rico,

New Plant Techniques
Plans for the next six months call
for the shipment Of over 100000 plants.
The station is now growing 250,000
plants in all stages of development up
to 20 inches high. The extra backlog is

developed q technique for slowing up
the growth when the plants have nearly
reached the maximum shipping size.
This calls for a cooling of of the green
house and partial withholding of

Discussing the medical qualities and
history of the cinchona tree, it was
pointed out that the aboriginal Indians
Of Peru were familiar with the virtues
Of the extract of its bark in the treat
ment Of malaria. The Spanish conquis-
tadores learned Of the curative proper
ties Of this bark over 800 years ago and
introduced it into European medicine.
