Blood-spotting in eggs: Controlled by breeding in a ten-generation selection experiment with Single Comb White Leghorns
by Lewis W. Taylor, I. Michael Lerner, Dorothy C. Lowry
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Blood-spotting in chicken eggs can be controlled by breeding. Heredity is the most important known factor responsible for the tendency of birds to produce blood-spotted eggs. To study the influence of genetic differences between birds with respect to this common defect, a selection experiment was undertaken.

Invisible injury of citrus: Insecticide tests indicate that oil sprays lower soluble solids in juice and reduce dry matter in leaves

Lithium toxicity in citrus: Recognized on leaves in a grove in Santa Barbara County on the basis of artificially produced symptoms
by D. G. Aldrich, A. P. Vanselow, G. R. Bradford
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Lithium toxicity in citrus was recognized for the first time in the field in Santa Barbara County. The element apparently came from irrigation water.

Citricola scale control: Tests find parathion a control agent of outstanding promise in commercial navel and Valencia orange groves
by W. H. Ewart, H. S. Elmer
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Commercial navel and Valencia orange groves in the San Joaquin Valley were used in experimental applications of parathion for citricola scale control in field tests during the period from 1947 to 1950.

Resistance to fumigation: Studies of outbreak in southern California reveal resistance to hydrogen cyanide fumigation persists
by Paul D. Gerhardt, David L. Lindgren

Westside dust test plots: Studies designed to develop plants and grazing systems for effective dust control under way in three counties
by Lloyd N. Brown
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The dust–Of the dust storms in the southern San Joaquin Valley the past several years–comes from two sources: 1, the Westside Plains and 2, from farm leveling operations and subdivision development.

by W. P. Bitters
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Eureka lemons to be used for processing are profitably grown on Sampson tangelo stock, while fruits from Rough lemon stock are not desirable.

Nontoxic ferns: Feeding tests with cattle find gold fern, bird's foot fern nontoxic
by K. A. Wagnon
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
No evidence of toxicity was found in gold fern and bird's foot fern, two plants suspected to cause jimmies–or jitters– in cattle moved to and from mountain ranges.
