Abstract
HOW cereal diseases can be recognized and controlled is shown in the twenty-six pages of this well-produced and generously illustrated book. The author, as advisory plant pathologist, has devised life cycles, attractively illustrated by Miss Ann Murray, to demonstrate diagrammatically important stages in the lives of organisms causing cereal diseases, and the means by which they can be controlled. These are used with other drawings to illustrate accounts of diseases caused by fungi and other ailments of cereals. The improvement in crop health since seed disinfection became general is indicated.
