Agricultural bacteriology in Italy, France and England as seen by a tourist.1
R. S. Breed, New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva,N. Y.
This paper is a brief review of the impressions gained by a recent visit to a series of European institutions engaged in research in agricultural and general bacteriology. In Italy, these included the three agricultural universities known as the Technical Higher Schools of Agriculture at Portici (near Naples), Perugia (Central Italy) and Milan Northern Italy). Visits were also made to the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, the Experiment Station for Cheese Making at Lodi near Milan, the Animal Husbandry School at Reggio-Emilia and the Agricultural Experiment Station at Modena. As these are representative institutions out of a large number of institutions for agricultural education and research, as the work done is of high grade, is apparently in a position to secure reasonable support, and as a fine spirit of work seemed to pervade all of them, the impression gained was that the Italian group of workers would continue to contribute more than their full share to the sum of human knowledge gained by study in this field. The barrier of language between Italy and the U. S. A. is a serious one and has led Americans to undervalue the type of work that has been done in this progressive country.
