Poultry grading: State grading system for meat poultry could improve marketing
by John C. Abbott
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Sound marketing practices for meat poultry would be promoted by the standardization of grading at the processing point and in the retail trade.

Harvest practices: Sevillano olive growers may affect yields and returns by management
by Gordon R. Sitton
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Careful timing of the picking of Sevillano olives—and prompt handling after picking—may increase returns to growers by amounts greater than the harvesting costs.

Fertilizer placement: Citrus production compared in between-rows, under-tree broadcast
by W. W. Jones, C. B. Cree
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The application of granular nitrogenous fertilizers to citrus trees resulted in the same production regardless of whether the material was broadcast in the irrigated middles between the rows, or under the trees.

Vein enation in citrus leaves: Virus found to be responsible for vein swelling and protuberances in citrus leaves
by J. M. Wallace, Robert J. Drake
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A virus—not related to any of the previously known citrus viruses—was found to induce vein swelling and protuberances on citrus leaves.

2, 4, 5 -T sprays on stone fruit: Tests reveal possible advantages of early fruit maturity as well as danger of injury to trees
by R. W. Harris, J. C. Crane, C. J. Hansen, R. M. Brooks
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Spray application of 2,4,5-T—2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid—to certain stone fruits in exploratory experiments during 1951 and 1952 resulted in early fruit maturity, increased fruit size, enhanced color and a reduced preharvest fruit drop.

by John B. Dobie, Frederic C. Jacob, Leroy C. Kleist
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
An experimental tramp-iron remover successfully ejected 99% of the wire and nails in chopped hay during tests with pneumatic conveyors at hay and air speeds up to 6,000' per minute.

Fire stimulated germination: Effect of burning on germination of brush seed investigated in physiological study of chamise
by Edward C. Stone, Gustaf Juhren
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The successful use of fire to convert brush areas to agricultural uses is often dependent upon the prevention of subsequent establishment of brush from seed.
