Avocado root rot studies: Preliminary tests indicate soil fumigation may permit replanting
by George A. Zentmyer, L. J. Klotz
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Soil fumigation trials to determine if areas where avocado trees have been removed because of root rot—decline—can be replanted successfully have shown considerable promise.

Citrus seedlings: Influence of fumigation and other treatments of former citrus soils
by James P. Martin
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Second or third plantings of young citrus trees in old groves do not grow as well as did those of the original planting or as do plantings of similar young trees on formerly noncitrus soil.

Sugar-beet mosaic tests: Disease may cause considerable reduction in yields of sugar and garden beets grown for seed
by Henry H. P. Severin
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Sugar-beet mosaic investigations conducted in California include tests on the host range, symptoms of the disease, properties of the causing virus, and various aspects of transmission by insects— especially aphids.

Weeds in onions and garlic: Selective sprays effective in control of broadleaf weeds in Imperial Valley field trials
by F. W. Zink
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Effective control of broadleaf weeds in onion and garlic fields with cyanate sprays was demonstrated by initial trials in the Imperial Valley last fall.

Onion harvester: New machine digs, lifts, tops and sacks at 1½ miles an hour
by Coby Lorenzen
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Important changes have been made toward mechanical harvesting of California speciality crops since World War II. The University's sugar beet harvester, a farmer's almond harvester, a machinist's prune harvester, an engineer's peach harvesting platform—all have contributed to lowering production costs and improving the working conditions of the farm laborer.

Dual purpose safflower seed: Produces drying oil for the paint industry and seed meal for livestock and poultry feed
by P. F. Knowles
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Safflower seed oil is a useful type of drying oil and its principal use has been in the paint and varnish industry where it competes directly with linseed oil. Its nonyellowing properties would make it appear to be superior to linseed oil for some interior finishes.

The sour egg problem: Corrective measures now recommended may be modified as studies progress
by F. W. Lorenz, Phoebe Betty Starr
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Sour eggs have been found in increasingly large numbers among storage eggs during the past two or three years.

Vitamins for turkeys: Nutritive requirements for adequate rations under continuing study
by F. H. Kratzer
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
As new vitamins are recognized they are tested with turkeys to determine their place in the feeding program because adequate vitamin intake is particularly essential for poults and breeder hens.
