Since many of our fields have become infested with tne red stele fungus disease, a Lerry that has resistance to this disease would be welcomed by «nust growers.

We were able to obtain a few of these plants from the col lege for trial in the county Growers who have received them are; Ken Asburry, St.- Helens; Longen Brothers, Deer Island; liackey Armstrong, Warren.
