Improved sugar beet harvester: Gives high quality performance but more development required
by John B. Powers
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A sugar beet harvester developed at Davis and tested in dry, peat-loam soil at Clarksburg, October 16, 1947, gave 93.7% root recovery and only 6.8% dirt pickup.

Feed sources surveyed: Available pasturage and hay located by counties in western states
by B. H. Crocheron

In March, California livestock men faced possible loss of even their breeding herds and flocks through drouth-forced sales to the butcher or to producers in more favorable feeding areas. Through representatives of three of their associations they asked the Agricultural Extension Service for data on available livestock feed.

Following is a progress report of a coiiperative study of the environmental factors influencing the development, production and health of animals in warm climates which was initiated in 1946 by the University of California, College of Agriculture and the USDA Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering. The study is underway at the Meloland Field Station in the Imperial Valley.

Effect of molybdenum: On livestock in permanent pastures
by H. S. Cameron, H. Goss
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The development of permanent pasture in certain areas of the state has been accompanied by a somewhat obscure disease affecting the young stock grazing on pastures, “up to the hocks in feed, but starving to death.” Based on investigational work in England on a comparable condition there is a probability that the element molybdenum may be an important factor in causing the disease.

Upgrading prune orchards: By propagating with cuttings

Klamath weed: Imported beetles promising as part of general control program
by C. B. Huffaker
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The principal hazard of Klamath weed is its displacement of desirable forage plants, though much has been said concerning its moderate toxic effects.

Sheep production: Program recommended
by R. F. Miller
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Sheep form an important part of California agriculture. Thousands of acres of the state's grazing land can be utilized best by sheep. Since sheep fit well into grain farming rotation to restore soil fertility, they can be used profitably on the worn out grain land which has been over-farmed in California.
