Copyright problem

This article has been tagged as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) It will likely be deleted after one week unless it is rewritten or verified to be free of infringement.

Duplication of content exists between the article at its foundation and [1], which is clearly reserved.

For one example, compare the following from the article:

In 1920, he decided to establish an institute for plant research. Its purpose would be to study "why and how plants grow, why they languish or thrive, how their diseases may be conquered, how their development may be stimulated by the regulation of the elements which contribute to their life." [1] Thompson hoped that the study of plants would result in practical, substantial contributions to human welfare. Thompson realized that the growing population of the United States would need a larger food supply. The study of plant diseases and the development of cures for them, the creation through genetic research of hardier, more nutritious, disease-resistant crop plants and more viable seeds, the study of insects that damage food crops, and the production of new pesticides all would contribute to this goal. Conservation would be another goal: "Men were too prone in America to destroy vegetation, especially forests and grazing surfaces," he said. "They must learn now to conserve." The effect of industrial pollutants on plants and the development of methods to protect plants would be studied. Thompson expected the institute to make valuable contributions to general scientific knowledge, to biology, and to medicine.
