Sulfur burn in citrus: Radioactive sulfur used in studies to distinguish between fruit-contained and applied sulfur
by F. M. Turrell, M. B. Chervenak
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Radioactive sulfur tracers and a Geiger counter were used at the Riverside Experiment Station in investigations made to learn how sulfur burns citrus fruits—so sulfur could be safened.

New insecticides: Effectiveness and limitations of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides not yet fully determined
by A. E. Michelbacher, W. W. Middlekauff
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Of all the new chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, DDT has been the one investigated most thoroughly—and despite a vast amount of research, all of its limitations have not been ascertained.

Dairy cattle nutrition: Eneray, Protein, Mineral and vitamin requirements for maintenance and production
by G. P. Lofgreen
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
All problems in dairy cattle nutrition can not be solved merely by furnishing the proper nutrients in the proper amounts. Other factors such as palatability, suitability, and economy must always be considered.

Almond hulls: Tested as feed for dairy cattle and lambs showed promise and limitations in value
by Robert F. Miller
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Some of the 40,000 tons of almond hulls produced annually in California—as a by-product in the process of hulling almonds—are fed to dairy cattle, sheep, and milk goats.
