Abstract

Brown dog ticks have become resistant to a number of the standard insecticides. Pet owners, veterinarians, and kennel operators have asked for new compounds for tick control.

Also in this issue:

Plum packing costs reduced: Bulk-filling of new container had the lowest unit cost in a study on methods of packing plums for interstate shipment

Red sports of delicious apple: Reversion to striped fruit can be minimized by selecting red sports and using scion wood from nonreverted trees

Optimum time for olive harvest: Fruit size and texture at harvest have important influence on the quality of black-ripe and green-ripe processed olives

Spiraled heads in lettuce: Malformation in Great Lakes lettuce strains apparently an inherited character producing united wrapper leaf margins

Summer flooding of alfalfa: Disease induced by excessive flooding of fields during high temperatures is major factor in annual depletion of stands

Alfalfa meal in swine rations: Tested as source of energy one pound of alfalfa had an average replacement value for 0.28 pound of concentrate

Experiments with fungicides for use against Sclerotium Rolfsii in soils

Further studies on the inheritance of resistance to powdery mildew of beans

Snapdragon rust-resistance trials 1937-1938
