Abstract
AS knowledge of plant growth accumulates, the number of points from which the problem of crop production can be attacked increases. Since the foundation of the Rothamsted Experimental Station in 1843, the activities of the Station have been steadily extended so as to make it possible to follow up some of the new problems which are continually brought to light by the work there and elsewhere. The study of quality in crops, for example, has led to a considerable amount of work in conjunction with the Institute of Brewing, the Millers' Research Association, sugar beet factories, etc. The work on malting barley, for example, has outgrown the accommodation at Rothamsted, and, having reached the stage where closer contact with the brewing industry was necessary, has been transferred elsewhere.
