Phosphated alfalfa feed-value: Preliminary studies made of feeding value of alfalfa hay from phosphate fertilized soils of the Imperial Valley
by N. R. Ittner, V. V. Rendig, R. S. Ayers, Wm. C. Weir

That cattle and sheep make poor gains on alfalfa hay from unphosphated soil has been a general belief among farmers in Imperial County.

Wind machines: 1953 report on frost protection tests in California citrus groves
by F. A. Brooks, D. G. Rhoades, A. S. Leonard
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Two or four large wind machines running together provided a greater temperature response per machine than one alone in citrus frost protection tests made in Riverside during the 1952-53 winter. The responses depended on the spacing of the machines.

Lime-induced chlorosis: Chelating agents a possible means of control in citrus, avocado, and other subtropicals
by A. Wallace, C. P. North
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Lime-induced iron chlorosis in citrus and avocado trees may be controlled by chelating agents, such as EDTA—ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid.

Chlorosis in avocado: May be caused by nutrients in soil or genetic variations in the variety
by F. F. Halma, G. E. Goodall
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
In the first article of a two-part progress report on the relative susceptibility of avocado root-stocks to chlorosis evidence was presented to the effect that young avocado trees on Guatemalan rootstocks are less tolerant to a type of chlorosis—yellowing of leaves—than trees on Mexican stocks. The evidence was based mainly on information obtained in two rootstocks plots, one located in Santa Barbara County and one in Orange County. In the former 70% and in the latter 78% of the trees on Guatemalan stocks became chlorotic about one year after planting, while only 1% of the trees on Mexican stocks in both plots showed the disorder. In November 1951, 40% of the chlorotic trees on Guatemalan stocks in the Santa Barbara County plot and 35% in the Orange County plot were either dead or seemingly beyond recovery. Since then the condition of the surviving chlorotic trees has fluctuated. In November 1952, it was uncertain as to what percentage would develop into normal trees.

Pre-packaged, bulk tomatoes: Survey of Berkeley housewives reveals practices in retail buying and opinions regarding quality and price
by Jessie V. Coles
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Housewives generally preferred buying fresh tomatoes in bulk rather than in consumer-packaged form in a survey conducted in nine grocery stores in Berkeley in the summer of 1952.

2, 4, 5-T on apricot: Effects include early maturity, larger fruits, less preharvest drop
by Julian C. Crane
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A single application of 2,4,5-T to apricot resulted in early fruit maturity, increased fruit size, reduced preharvest fruit drop, and under certain conditions development of red color in the fruit.
