First, Wil­ bur McKeen, working at Harrow on a $3,000 fellowship, given by C. and D. Sugar Co., established that certain fungicides, applied in precise amounts —• not too much, not too little—were death t o “aphanomyces cochlioides” •fungi, deadly enemies of. beet seedlings. After taking a Ph, D. degree, McKeen rejoined Drs. Koch and Hildebrand at Harrow and re­ search on black root continued. It is now established that “T.T. D. ” fungicide—properly applied in right amounts at seeding time —will increase yields over 40 per cent on soil badly infested with the destructive fungi. Im­ properly applied —• T.T.D. is simply wasted. The indefatigable scientists are now seeking a fun­ gicide equally effective—but less expensive than the $4-per cost of T.T.D.
