California big trees: Young trees make rapid growth and are adaptable to transplanting
by Woodbridge Metcalf
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Young stands of California's big trees—the Sequoia gigantea—under study for 32 years have demonstrated the ability of the species to reproduce itself under favorable conditions, proving that the mammoth old trees need not be the last survivors of their kind.

Wool improvement: Seek to combine fleece of the Australasian Merino and body of the Rambouillet
by James F. Wilson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The Merino sheep is the backbone of the wool growing industry of the West. No other breed of sheep can stand up to the vicissitudes of weather and poor environment half so well. All over the world's temperate zones, wherever the going is tough, through intense heat and great cold, where feed is sparse and animals must shift for themselves, the Merino or some breed heavily infused with its blood, predominates.
