New spray-type seed treater: Uniform coverage of seeds, ease of operation and protection by enclosure among advantages
by Robert A. Kepner, L. D. Leach
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Tests with an experimental continuous spray-type seed treater newly developed at Davis have been completed. A pilot model of a design suitable for commercial production has been built and is now being operated in a plant where sugar beet seed is treated commercially.

Lindane for wire worm control: Wireworms affecting certain vegetable and field crops controlled with lindane seed treatment
by W. H. Lange, L. D. Leach, E. C. Carlson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Control of wireworms affecting certain vegetable and field crops now appears possible by means of an inexpensive method of treating the seeds with lindane before planting.

Nutrient deficiencies in soils: Nitrogen and phosphorus found to be deficient in samples of soils representing many parts of the state
by H. Jenny, J. Vlamis, W. E. Martin
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Between 50% and 70% of the soils in the major farming sections of California—from Siskiyou County in the north to Imperial County in the south—are deficient in available nitrogen.

Ground water in California: Economic and social causes and effects of overdraft on state's water resources subjects of current studies
by S. V. Ciriacy-Wantrup, Patricia McBride Bartz
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
About 30% of the irrigated lands of California receive their entire water supply from ground water and about three quarters of the cities, towns, water, and sewage districts in the state draw all or part of their requirements from the same source.
