hybrid material resistant to diseases, insects, drought, and cold, and having improved sugar content and maturity characteristics. Promising strains of cane developed in the U.S. are being sent to India and crossed with wild types. True seed of superior crosses of special interest to U.S. sugarcane breeders are being sent back to USDA for use in domestic breeding programs. Parasites, Predators, and Pathogens of the European Corn Borer.-A variety of parasites of this pest of corn have been received in the United States from India and subjected to preliminary study. A few have been released for field trials. A species of wasp appears to have promise and is being intensively studied. Induced Sterility of Males of the Mediterranean Fruitfly.- New methods of combating the Mediterranean friitfly by induced sterility are being studied in Egypt. This pest of fruit has invaded the United States on several occasions and large suns of money have been spent to eradicate it. Field trials of sterile male releases are under way to determine the effect of this procedure in suppressing populations of Medflies. Researchers are making significant progress toward a biological means of combating this pest. A Study of the Hostplant-Vector and lostplant-Virus Relationships of the Rough Dwarf Virus Diseaseof Corn.-The maize rough dwarf virus and its insect carriers have been found, by research workers in Israel, to have a much Foodsfrom thefarms of America provided funds to support this floating hospital in EastPakistan, specializing in research into the prevention and eradicationof cholera. wider distribution than was previously suspected. In addition to the Mediterranean zone, they have been found in Central France, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria. The disease represents a potential hazard to North American corn production. American hybrid maize varieties have been found to be more susceptible than Old World types to this virus. There has been some indication that barley, in addition to maize, may be susceptible to the same virus. If this is correct, then maize rough dwarf virus research will eventually prove to be of even greater significance. Growth of Trees in Swamps Related to Spacing of Drainage Ditches.-Finnish scientists have found that drainage ditches greatly increase the growth of trees in swampy regions. Optimum depth and spacing is under further study. There are millions of acres of swamp forests in the United States in the northeast, the lake states, and Alaska. The results of this Fin-ish study v.ill help American forest managers to incr.,e yield at a minimum cost. Resin Production.-The factors which control the production of resin in pines are not understood. Findings by Spanish scientists provide a lead for investigating the basis for resin production, thus enabling American scientists attempting to stimulate resin production to make further research gains. Bark Beetle Attractant Identified.-Bark beetles of At ,. r 57
various species kill millions of board feet of timber in the United States annually. Finnish scientists working on a Forest Service-sponsored project have isolated a chemical in pine trees, alpha terpineol, Synthetic which attracts beetles. terpineol After an was initial found attack, to there attract is evidence the "hat beetles emanations also. from the beetles attract other beetles. inding of the initial attractant provides a basis for trapping this particular beetle and preventing or controlling outbreak. Biological Control of Shoot Moth.-The European shoot moth damages thousands of acres of pine plantations in the United States. Polish scientists have located a few parasites which hold down the population of the shoot moth. One of these may be suitable for introduction to the United States. U.S. foresters now have some hope TABLE XXII.-Grants for agricultural research, sec. 104(k) Country Jan. 1-Dec. 31, July 1,1959 1965 Dec. 31, 1965 Num- Number of Amount ber of Amount grants grants Dollar Dollar Duiva- equivar lent lent Brazil ------------------------------- Ceylon------------------------------ 15 796,400 1 19,965 Chile-------------------------------- 4 164,219 Colombia ---------------------------- 8 648,555 Finland ------------ 2 50,608 30 1,287,968 Greece ------------------------------ 3 202,821 India--------------- 21 1,087,274 117 7,422,578 Israel------------- 25 2,263,077 97 6,625,155 Italy-------------------------------- 8 400,519 Korea ------------------------------- 5 122,629 Pakistan----------- 4 417,692 19 1,197,264 Peru -------------------------------- 3 258,373 Philippines--------- ------------------ 3 48,639 Poland ------------ 7 280,020 65 2,729,383 Spain--------------- 1 59,289 25 1,559,871 Taiwan ------------ 1 27,655 8 150,387 Turkey------------ 2 27,641 12 397,078 United Arab Republic ----------- 2 139,392 9 666,235 United Kingdom ---------------------- 2 300,710 Uruguay----------------------------- 8 821,823 Yugoslavia-----------2 114,262 5 234,535 58 Total-------- 67 -. 4,487,910 447 26.055,107 t This research into the improvement of bee strains is one of 67 projects sponsored in 1965 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture with grants oJ P. L. 480 local currencies. for biological control and for avoiding the expensive and hazardous use of DDT and other pesticides. New Grants.-Duringthe past year, 67 grants for projects in the fields of farm forestry, marketing, and human nutrition research were made to. institutions in 10 countries. These grants of foreign currencies valued at $44879 ,4,910 bring to $26,055,107 the cumulative value of 447 grants in 21 countries, as shown in table XXII. Educational and Cultural Activities Section 104(k): The Department of State during 1965 obligated the equivalent of $1,172,649 for assistance in the following projects: India ($497,056) to assist: (1) the University Religious Conference, in its cultural program "Project India"; (2) Syracuse University in its public service fellowship pro gran and its work-study programs in overseas administration; (3) the American Institute of Indian Studies to carry out an educational development project.
