Abstract

The only control for the sugar-beet nematode—that is knawn to be effective in California—is a four-point program based on crop rotation.

Also in this issue:

Early potatoes: California situation, 1948

Irrigation by sprinkler system: Adaptable for definite crops and special purposes

Small oranges: Size problem under extensive study to determine cause and control

Breeding yearling heifers: Field studies indicate weight more important than age

Scale insects on citrus: Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid effective control treatment

Root-knot nematode: Westan variety of baby limas is highly resistant to the pest

Palatable dry whole milk: Of good keeping preparation and quality assured by correct proper packaging

Pneumatic pruning: Orchardists reducing labor costs by using especially designed equipment

Prune products: Improved processing and new uses developed by research

Sudangrass poisoning: Of livestock minimized by good management practices

Hexamitiasis of turkey poults: Recent studies indicate possible control treatment for the disease

Maximum height of capillary rise starting with soil at capillary saturation
