> I was told by a very reliable source via email that Roger Morse published a Florida extension pamphlet some 50 years ago that did roughly the same thing I did

In the 1950s, Roger was mostly at Cornell. There he earned all three of his post-secondary degrees: a Bachelor’s in 1950, a Master’s in 1953, and a Doctorate in 1955. In postgraduate work, he was State Apiculturist for Florida for two years. In 1957, he became an Assistant Professor of Horticulture at the University of Massachusetts, working there for six months before being appointed to the Cornell faculty as Assistant Professor. I don't guess this lends much credence to your argument. In the two years he was there, he published a few things:
