Crop Science Meeting Brings Out Late Wheat Research ! The Western Society of Crop Science meeting, held the last of June jointly on the campus es of Washington State Univer sity and the University of Ida ho, brought the writer up to date on the latest developments in crop research in the Pacific Northwest. At this session crop scientists reported on their research re sults. We hope to report on those later which may be of in terest to Morrow County farm ers. The amount of wheat breed ing underway at Moscow and at Pullman is staggering. We can look forward, no doubt, to new varieties to meet the production and marketing problems ahead. A visit with Dr. Vogel at W.S.U. and Dr. Pope at Idaho to their respective plots demon strated the extent of their work. Dr. Pope is devoting much of his time improving the good wheat varieties by removing some of their particular defects to make them better wheats through the use of bade cross ing. Objectives have been to in elude disease resistance, im prove type as to straw and to improve quality variation.

Tetanus Boosters Advised by Wilcox News comes from the Oregon State Board of Health that the first person to contact tetanus during lSVtf was a 42-year-old woman in I'matilla county. She had only a small cut yet it was large enough to admit the deadly disease. Symptoms began to' appear in about a week and the patient was giv en dosages oi numan nper immune globulin as part of her I treatment. She recovered, but ' some victims of tetanus or lock- jaw do not. Last vear one of the four per sons ill with tetanus in Oregon died. In general fatalities ave rage more than 50 per cent.
