Lecturer Cites < Southwest
Lag In Graduate Degrees
Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, president
of the newly created Graduate Re
search Center- of the Southwest
said in a graduate lecture here Fri
day that Southwestern universities
graduate less than 5 per cent of
the total doctorates in the United
States compared to 39 per cent by
the Northeastern universities.
Compared on the basis of the
number of doctorates per million
population, Texas and the South
west are badly behind, Berkner
said.
Texas and the Southwest produce
only 22 doctorates a year per mil
lion population compared to 127
per million in Massachusetts and
82 per million in the seven leading
states. The national average is 48
doctorates per million population.
Berkner said that if the South
west is to assume its share of the
intellectual challenge facing the
nation, it must upgrade both the
quality and the quantity of gradu
ate education. Berkner was opti
mistic in believing that the com
munity of the Southwest is de
termined to provide the chance to

its young men and women for
graduate education, a graduate op
portunity which can be second to
none in the world, in order that
this region can discharge its re
sponsibility to the nation and to
its people.
This will cost money—Berkner
believes that at least $400,000,000
will be required to accomplish the
necessary job within the next 15
years. Yet the economic independ
ence and stability of the region will
depend upon accomplishing the
necessary task of making available
the opportunity for more of our
gifted students to reach the doc
torate within this region. The
Graduate Research Center of the
Southwest is dedicated to this pur
pose.
In addition Berkner said uni
versities must cooperate in meeting
ing this challenge and must ask
themselves how they can create a
distinguished graduate faculty in
an atmosphere where basic re
search and graduate training are
given the dominant role.
The Graduate Research Center
of the Southwest has developed a
regional six-point plan to assist in
achieving the objective of a major
increase in graduate and con
comitant research opportunities.
These are:

Control Methods
Some of the latest plant disease
and insect control methods were
outlined to Texas nurserymen at
tending their 30th annual short
course here Sunday through today.
Harlan E. Smith, plant path
ologist with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, said the most
recent recommendation for black
spot on roses is the use of maneb
or Phaltan. Terrachlor or PCNB
will do the best job of stopping
brown patch in lawns.
Euonymous plants with powdery
mildew trouble can be helped with

and individual tickets can be pur
chased until 2 p.m. Wednesday at
the main desk of the MSC or from
B. A. Zinn, chairman of the club.

Piper Awarded
Air Force Medal
Capt. Charles W. Piper, assist
ant professor of air science, has
been awarded the Air Force Com
mendation Medal for meritorious
service in streamlining apd the
overall improvement of the Wing
Intelligence functions within the
81st Tactical Fighter Wing, RAF
Station, Bentwaters, England.
The award was presented Piper
by Col. Charles E. Gregory, pro
fessor of air science.
Piper came to the A&M depart
ment from his service stint in
England. *•"
tan, the pathologist said. Cotton
root rot, which also attacks flow
ers, shrubs and trees, can be les
sened with cultural controls, such
as drying of the soil and the grow
ing of indicator plants like okra.
Smith estimated that 75 per cent
of specimens sent to his office for
plant disease identification, come
from ornamentals. From 1,000 to
1,500 specimens are sent in each
year.
Approximately 100 persons at
tended the short course. In addi
tion to plant 'diseases and insects,
subjects ranged from state and
federal laws affecting nurserymen
to automation.
Sponsors of the course are A&M
in cooperation with the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Texas Agricultural Extension Ser
vice and the Texas Association of
Nurserymen.
C. F. Garner, extension service
entomologist, said cut ants still
are best controlled with methyl
hicomide. For scale insects, such
insecticides as malathion in mis
cible i oil, or Diazinon, are recom
mended.
Spider mites, Garner said, are
becoming mox*e difficult to control
because of insecticide resistance by
some species. Specifically recom
mended are Chlorobenzilate, Kel-
thane, Tedion or malathion.
The entomologist said an effec
tive preventive to protect shade
trees from borers is to spray at
three-week intervals with a mix
ture of DDT and malathion.
Nematode Control
W. H. Thames, Jr., associate
professor in the Department of
Plant Physiology and Pathology,
discussed control of nematodes, a
troublesome soil pest of nurseries.
As a pre-planting soil treatment,
Thames recommended such nema-
tocide chemicals as dichloropro-
pene, dibromopropane and methyl
bromide. Dipping plants in con
trolled temperature hot water was
advised for infested plants.
John Long and E. C. Holt, A&M
agronomists, discussed herbicide
and weed controls and modern turf
management. David A. Pate and
A. F. DeWerth, both of the Depart-
mentof Floriculture, talked on re
cent research and trends affecting
nurserymen.
Dr. R. E. Patterson, Dean of
Agriculture, delivered an address
of welcome.
