their grant of $1,000 and the Shell
Development Company, Denver,
Colorado, has also renewed their
grant for the same amount. Both
are for the support of studies on
cotton defoliation. Research under
these grants and renewals is being
conducted under the supervision of
Dr. Wayne C. Hall of the Depart
ment of Plant Physiology and
Pathology.
Three grants-in-aid have been
made to support studies on control

These were made by Panogen, Inc.,
Ringwood, Illinois, $300; The

A&M Men Conduct
Traffic Surveys

and Robert H. Schleider, both of
the A&M Civil Engineering De
partment, the project was conduct
ed by the Texas Transportation
Institute in cooperation with the
