Abstract

Grain fertilizer tests with uniform fertilizers were applied in over 200 separate field tests in 40 counties during the past three seasons—covering most grain-growing areas of the state and representing a wide range of soil series.

Also in this issue:

Mechanical cotton harvesting: Harvesting costs, value of field waste and grade-loss contribute to economics of machine-picking of cotton

Seedlings on old citrus soils: Effect of water, acid, alkali, and alcohol leaching of old citrus soils on growth of citrus seedlings

Tomato insect survey: Studies indicate direct field seeding increases early season problem

Spot-wise seeding for redwood: Artificial reforestation by seeding or planting necessary on cutover land devoid of seed trees

Improved egg size: High heritability of egg weight gives rapid response to selective breeding

Eradication of pocket gophers: Comparative field tests demonstrate best poisons, baits, and dosages for practical gopher control

Walnut cuttings: Treatment with hormones, callusing in sand for vegetative propagation
