Dr. Bert Zuckerman, as chair- man of the Northeast Cooiperative Nematode Research Project, at- tended the North Central area meeting in Chicago in mid-Janu- ary. The purpose was to learn of their activities and coordinate re- search in the two areas. The pro- gress realized in the field of nema- tode research during the last few years has been remarkable. I^rofessor "Stan" Norton at- tended a planning meeting of agri- culture engineers held in New York City in mid-January. A Northeast Regional Research Pro- ject designed a year ago to im- prove mechanical harvesting of fruits and vegetables was reviewed and progress noted. Recommend- ations were made for future work and funds were allocated to the states involved.
