Abstract
THE twenty-second annual report, for the year 1934, of the East Mailing Research Station, has just been published (pp. 241. 4s. net. May 1935). The Station is maintained by the Kent Incorporated Society for Promoting Experiments in Horticulture, with various grants from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. A 22-page supplement describes the more administrative side of the Station, and leaves the main volume free to set forth the research findings during the past year. These are, perhaps, even more numerous than usual, for a determined effort has been made to elucidate more fully the problems of insecticides and fungicides. Section 1 of the report describes the experimental farm, and is contributed by Messrs. J. Amos, F. H. Beard, M. H. Moore and A. C. Painter, with a foreword by the director, Mr. R. G. Hatton. Section 2 is a general review of research work, with summaries of papers published during the year. It is compiled by numerous members of the staff. The third section, on preliminary research reports, occupies most of the volume. Truly is the East Mailing Research Station justifying its com parison, voiced by H.R.H. the Duke of York, to a standard apple tree, which, once established on good soil, would “continue to flourish and yield excellent fruit”.
