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.

Excerpt from Fungoid Diseases of Farm and Garden Crops That crops are subject to diseases of various kinds, has been known for thousands of years. In the Bible we find reference to mildews and blasted crops, while among the Roman writers a number of different diseases were recognized. As early as the middle of the eighteenth century, considerable study had been made of some of the fungi which caused plant diseases, but even as late as the third and fourth decade of the nineteenth century, there were some scientific agriculturists who insisted that the spots and discolorations caused by fungi, or the spore masses of these fungi, were but parts of the plant itself, while even to the present day, some persons regard such; epidemics as punishment or warnings sent by the: Almighty to a sinful people.

Excerpt from Fungoid and Insect, Pests of the Farm His book has been written for those who wish to acquire some practical knowledge of farm and garden pests. It does not aim at dealing with all the numerous diseases which affect cr0ps but rather at giving an accurate account of some of the commoner forms. It is hoped that a working know ledge oi these pests will be of great commercial value to farmers and market gardeners, and also that by their own observations they will be enabled, to cc 0perate with those who are engaged in studying plant diseases in finding the most economical means of preventing the increasing annual losses due to these pests. Direct cures of some of the diseases are unknown; but even in these cases an accurate knowledge of the enemy will enable us to carry out remedial measures which will prevent big losses.
