Weaver, professor of ecology, and authority ou plant roots, spent most of his summer va cation writing a textbook on Plant Ecology." He also aided in the making of another bool:, and did some research work during the summer. Professor Weaver was the Joint author with Pr. F. E. Clements, of a book entitled "Plant Competi tion," which will be published by the Carnegie Institution this month. Pr. Weaver expects to use this book as the text for his second se mester classes this year. Together with Dr. HImmel, as sistant professor ' in - botany, Dr. Weaver made an extensive study of "The Relation of Aeration to Root Development," and "The Re lation of the Length of Day to the Amount of Food Manufactured by the Plant" Theodora Close, a bot any student, did most of the work on the latter topic. In his work this summer, Pr. Weaver discovered many Interest ing facts about plant life. Some plants were kept by artificial light, fifteen hour days, and then for seven hour days. When grown under the conditions of the long day, the cosmos plant would not blossom at all, while when grown under the short day it blossomed in six weeks. In the case of the red clover, the results were the oppo site. Under the short day this plant will not blossom, while under the long day It will blossom in two months.
