Fertilization of celery: Adequate supply of nitrogen required for best yields
by O. A. Lorenz
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Proper fertilization is more essential for celery than for any other vegetable crop grown in California, and no other vegetable crop gives as large returns on the investment in fertilizer.

Alternate bearing of avocado: May be corrected eventually by one of two possible solutions to problem
by Robert W. Hodgson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The first good fruit-set of most varieties of avocado that is carried forward toward maturity—actual maturity of the crop is not necessary—starts the tree in its alternate bearing habit.

Weed control: Effectiveness of soil treatment compared with contact sprays in rank growing crops
by A. S. Crafts
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
One of two contrasting methods might be used to control weeds in rank growing crops such as cotton, sugar cane, milo and corn: 1. A temporary sterilization of the soil to prevent the growth of weed seedlings and protect the crop; 2. A series of contact sprays beginning with a premergence treatment and following through with one or more post-emergence sprays until the crop is ready to lay by.

Wood pocket: May be result of virus or toxin in parent tree in certain strain of Lisbon lemon
by H. S. Fawcett, E. C. Calavan
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A defect or break in the bark is often the first outward symptom of wood pocket in a certain strain of semidense Lisbon lemon. A discoloration of the wood immediately inward from the break is found at the cambium.

Sulfa drugs tested: For control of coccidiosis, pullorum, typhoid and cholera in chickens
by R. A. Bankowski
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Sulfa drugs may not save chickens severely infected with cecal coccidiosis, but—properly administered—they will prevent losses in the rest of the flock.
