Abstract

Removal of old and overmature forest trees—and thinning to relieve competition in the young stands—can substantially increase the rate of timber growth.

Also in this issue:

California apples: Acreage and production declining due to unfavorable grower earnings

Root-lesion nematode injury: Trials under way to determine resistant or tolerant rootstocks for fruit and nut trees

Drift of sprays, dusts, spores: Radioactive tracers used in determining distribution pattern of small airborne particles

Egg production: Application of principles of genetics may hasten improvement of poultry

Successful dehydration of clingstone peaches: Clingstone peaches can be dried successfully when proper procedure is followed carefully

Citrus fruit size studies: Experimental test of 2,4-D sprays to increase orange and grapefruit fruit size

Soil test for phosphate: New method of chemical analysis of soil for available phosphate is rapid and accurate

Downy mildew in spinach: Eventual control of damaging disease may be indicated by studies of Iranian spinach

Vitamins in walnut meats: Studies made to determine content of vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, niacin
