Excerpt from Fungoid Disease of Agricultural Plants The increased facilities of intercourse between different countries which characterise modern civilization have proved an important factor in the diffusion of plant-diseases. The organisms associated with these diseases, which do untold damage by diminishing the world's supplies of food and fodder, pay scant respect to such human devices as tariff zones and political frontiers. But if the organisms in question be disquietingly cosmopolitan, the workers whose energies are devoted to the study of their life-histories, to the control of their activities, and to the mitigation of the evil consequences they induce, are also, fortunately, cosmopolitan. Nowhere is the solidarity of science more benignly manifested, and nothing connected with the amenities of human intercourse is more satisfactory than the neighbourliness with which these workers in every land place the results of their labours at the disposal of countries other than their own.
