Abstract: Any reader of the American news magazine, "Time", will know that the editors occasionally publish a "grass roots report" dealing with some current question of public interest. It takes the form of a survey of the fundamental issues involved, and attempts to assess their significance, in-so-far as those issues are known. It is a tacit recognition by a non-scientific body of opinion of the importance of the underground organs to the well-being of a plant, and that these organs are more essential, despite their hidden and inaccessible habitat, than is commonly recognized.
