Raisin marketing: Program for exportable surplus may require government sponsored agency

Alfalfa caterpillar tests: Biological control by artificial spread of virus disease studied

Citricola scale enemies: Balance of scale and parasite required

Baker mealybug: Use of green lacewing in control studied

Wide range of damage result of early '49 cold: Eight preliminary reports indicate tree and crop losses varied from slight to severe

California red scale: Studies in possible control by employment of natural enemies

Castor beans: Studied for potential values as oil crop for California production

New asparagus: Two new strains of the Mary Washington produce tight spears of uniform color

Small lots thresher: Compact and easily cleaned suitable for small sized seeds

Horses: Stomach worms controlled
