Abstract

The following preliminary reports cover only one year's study of one soil type and are not final but are an indication of trends in research development toward improved irrigation practices in relation to yield and quality of cotton.

Also in this issue:

Deciduous fruits: Trends and prospects as influenced by population and national income studied

FertiIized pastures: Legumes and perennial grasses respond to split-fertilization in range tests

Yellow clover aphid on alfalfa: Pest not ruinous to state's alfalfa industry but production costs increased by frequent field inspections and treatments

Biological control: Natural enemies of aphid in California sought in European, Mid-East countries

Chemical control: Insecticides when properly applied will give effective commercial control of pest

Resistant plants: Alfalfa variety resistant to aphid attack and adapted to desert areas planned

Prune harvest methods, costs: Comparative study made on efficiency of various types of labor-saving equipment used in 1954 prune harvest season

Effects of irrigation on the growth and yield of cotton: Amounts and timing of applications influence lint grade and staple length

Combine used in corn: Two types of gathering attachments successful in harvesting trials in 1954

Field corn pickers: Tests indicate two operational factors have important effect on field losses

Hybrid corn trials: Effect of summer temperatures on corn maturity in Santa Barbara County

Morphological development of the fruit of Juglans regia
