Abstract

The following article is the first of two reports on Quality Studies with Strawberries. The second article will appear in the near future.

Also in this issue:

The chemical status of zinc in the soil with methods of analysis

Evaporated milk in California: Analysis made of in-plant costs and relationship between the unit cost of processing and output rate of plant production

Alfalfa wafers for dairy cows: No significant differences detected between alfalfa wafers and alfalfa hay in feeding trials with lactating heifers

Alfalfa and sorghum silages: Experiments indicate no difference between sweet forage-type sorghum and dual purpose-type when fed as silage to steers

Abnormalities in tomato fruits: Effects of fruit-setting plant hormones and nitrogen level in relation to quality and storage life of tomatoes studied

Control of drywood termites: Infestation or reinfestation after eradication prevented by treatment with inert dusts nontoxic to humans or animals

Peach tree borer on apricots: Trunk treatments for the control of major pest of apricots, prunes, plums, and peaches in the coastal growing districts

Zinc effect on citrus, avocado: Large concentrations of zinc added to sand or soil cultures corrected mottle-leaf, increased leaf size and tree growth

Micronutrients in valencias: Study made on the effects of nitrogen fertilization on the micronutrient concentrations in leaves of Valencia orange
