Abstract

Four different fertilizer treatments and time of sampling—as they affect the chemical composition and nutrient uptake by potatoes grown in Kern County—were studied from plantings, on a Hesperia fine, sandy loam soil.

Also in this issue:

Dairy products: California's manufactured products in relation to those of other areas

Dwarf resistant alfalfa: Seed of new California Common 49 to be released next season for commercial hay production in certain areas

Hybrid corn: Resistant to ear rot and adapted to California conditions possible through science of genetics

Soluble salt injury to gardenia: Often traced to excessive use of chemical fertilizers or to salts in the water supply

Almond meats and hulls: New and improved uses for larger-sized meats and for hulls subjects of investigations

Further investigations on avocado decline: Effect of oxygen supply in nutrient solution on avocado and citrus seedlings studied in greenhouse tests

Potatoes for poultry: Value of dried potatoes as feed for chicks and poults investigated

Excel onion: Early maturing and of high quality, new variety proven good producer
