by Sidney Hoos

World-wide grape surplus: Analysis of price-depressing effects of California's exportable surpluses on the grape product markets
by S. W. Shear
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Even the below-average California grape crop in prospect for 1954–forecast at a little less than the 2,475,000 tons harvested in 1953, also a below-average crop–-may not enable the industry to dispose of all the state's price-depressing, exportable surplus of grape products– through regular commercial channels– that apparently will be available for the 1954-55 marketing season.

Rancid flavor in fresh milk: Activating effect of some pipeline milkers and farm tanks apparently major cause of rancidity
by W. L. Dunkley, L. A. Kelley
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The increased incidence of rancid-flavored milk in California in recent years is at least partially attributable to treatments milk receives in some pipeline milkers and farm tanks. However, careful selection, installation, and operation of this equipment can reduce difficulty with the off-flavor.

Poison gas tests on gophers: Gases and gas bombs much less effective and more costly than poison bait, contrary to common claims
by Milton A. Miller

Controlled experiments to determine the effectiveness of several commercial poison gases and gas-generating bombs and dusts–as compared to standard poison baits–were conducted in gopherinfested alfalfa fields at Davis.

Irrigation tests with oranges: Effects of various irrigation practices on growth and production of citrus trees subject of studies
by M. R. Huberty, S. J. Richards

Improper irrigation can reduce navel orange yields by 30% to 40%–under conditions where tree growth and vigor are only slightly influenced–according to results obtained in a long-term experiment at Riverside.

Reseeding controlled burns: Records of 45 controlled brush burns in woodland-grass areas indicate self-reseeding predominates
by H. H. Biswell, J. L. Launchbaugh, A. M. Schultz

Forage composition and yield: Studies of forage regrowth and grazing capacity on controlled burned areas in northern California
by Arthur W. Sampson, L. T. Burcham
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Forage production studies following controlled burns on chaparral areas indicated that forage is usually most abundant in the first two years after burning.

Off-flavor in canned olives: Tests show application of certain insecticides to olive trees will produce musty flavor in the fruit
by Reese H. Vaughn, Hudson T. Hartmann
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Benzene hexachloride–lindane and B.H.C.–applied to olive trees before harvest will result in a moldy, musty off-flavor in the canned olives, according to the results of tests initiated in July 1953.
