M. Hess of Brigham Young Universitys botany department is a professor who really knows his onions. Stephen Liddle of Payson has been of his class at the elected University of Southern California Dental He graduated from the Brigham School. Young University in June. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Liddle of Payson. He married LeNea Kimball of Salt Lake and they have one child. Mr. Liddle filled a mission to Eastern Canada. He has one brother, Dr. Joseph Liddle, who is practicing Dentistry in American Fork. vice-preside- nt He has recently received two awards totaling $110,000 to investigate onion pink root disease which can wipe out from 25 to 50 percent of a crop. The onion roots become infected by this parasitic fungus which causes the roots to turn pink. The fungus prevents essential growth minerals from reaching the plant and the roots decay. Why is Dr. Hess concentrating on onions? Because most crops have a fungus parasite which destroys their roots and the infection principles are similar in most root disease problems. Dr. Hess is using the BYUs new high resolution electron microscope to determine where products that cause plant diseases originate in fungi and how the plant parasitizing fungi enter plants. He is studying the whole cycle from spor germination to infestation and the new microscope will give over 300,000 times magnification.

The class analyzed soil and talked about ecological succession (how animals, insects, and fish moving onto land areas and beaches produce soil). They learned that one of the major problems besetting mankind is soil erosion caused by forest fires and poor farm management. In their study, the students collected soil and brought in samples.

This was brought to their attention in their study of how water falls as rain, evaporates to form clouds, and falls again, (hie student, Rose Cheever, made a survey of the amount of water used by her family during the day.
