| II. News IV International Wheat Genetics Symposium The International Organizing Committee has the pleasure of inviting you to attend the Fourth Symposium to be held at Columbia, Missouri, U.S.A., from the 6th to the 11th of August, 1973. The program of the six-day Symposium will be divided into various sections, some of which may have to be held simultaneously, and will cover as many aspects of wheat genetics as possible including some, or all, of the subjects listed below.
The registration fee for the Symposium will be $40.00 U.S. and, apart from attendance at the Symposium, includes a copy of the Proceedings, further Symposium literature, participation in the social events, the dinner and local transportation. The payment of this fee will not be required until approximately the middle of 1973. Rooms have been reserved for some 300 participants in a residence on the University campus. This residence, which is air-conditioned and offers food and recreational facilities, is located within easy walking distance of the meeting rooms. Accommodation (2 per room) and meals from the evening of the 5th of August until the morning of the 12th of August will cost approximately $80.00 per person. In addition to this residence, accommodation will be available in local motels and will cost approximately $14.00 per single room, $18.00 per double room, per night and does not include meals. Further details of the accommodation and its reservation will be made available in the Second Notice to delegatese. A tour committee is planning and organizing both |pre- and |post-symposium tours. Since the International Genetics Congress will be held on the West Coast approximately one week after the Wheat Symposium, the pre-Symposium tour will commence on the East Coast and terminate in Columbia, and the post-Symposium tour will start in Columbia and terminate in San Francisco. The cost to the participant of the pre-Symposium tour (including transportation, by bus, and accommodation, but excluding meals) will be approximately $75.00. The cost to the participant of the post-Symposium tour (transportation by bus and air, plus accommodation, but excluding meals) will be approximately $125.00. Please indicate on the Provisional Reply Form if you would like to participate in either or both of these tours. Participation in the tours may have to be limited in number due to restrictions in transportation facilities. Demonstration material to be grown and to be inspected on the post-Symposium tour at Fargo can be accepted up to the 31st of January, 1973. All material must be of spring habit, clearly labeled and mailed to reach the Secretary accompanied with the appropriate quarantine documents by the above date. Please indicate on your provisional reply form if you would like to take advantage of this facility. Local Organizing Committee : W. Q. Loegering, R. L. Mitchell, J. M. Poehlman, L. M. S. Sears, E.
