Abstract

"In pursuance of the general scheme of operations decided upon as being within the province of the Council, the importance of the field of investigations into the many and varied problems concerning crop and other plants rendered necessary the cre'ation of a Division for that work. While the term 'Plant Industry' more adequately envisages the field
involved, it was decided that the Division should be known as that of 'Economic Botany', and Professor B. T. Dickson, B.A., Ph.D., assumed charge as from 27th February, 1928. Temporary quarters in the Botany School were provided by arrangement Avith the authorities of the University of Sydney, whose constant courtesy and consideration have been much appreciated. Obviously, while in temporary quarters, the
Division has been inevitably seriously handicapped in the prosecution of problems in spite of the utmost consideration on the part of the University. Nevertheless, satisfactory progress is recorded in the details of investigations to be noted later in this Report." [from page 5]

"At present, work is in progress in the sections of Plant Pathology, Plant Breeding, Plant Introduction, Agrostology, Noxious Weeds Control, and Herbarium, although under the considerable handicap of lack of adequate facilities and staff." [from page 9]
