Acreage controls in California: Cotton growers' use of diverted acreage has direct and indirect effects on state's agricultural production pattern
by Trimble R. Hedges
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Cotton acreage in California has dropped from 1.34 million acres in 1953 to 883 thousand acres in 1954—approximately 34%—with a further cut in 1955 to 56% of that in 1953.

Electrical tests on nematodes: Results of investigations with high-voltage, nonthermal electrical treatments for control of root-knot nematodes
by Bert Lear, F. C. Jacob
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Electrical treatments for control of root-knot nematodes seem impractical for field use, according to results of limited laboratory experiments at Davis.

Morning-glory control sprays: Yields of flower seed increased in experiments with various spray materials for control of weed pest costly to growers
by Jack L. Bivins, B. Lennart Johnson, William A. Harvey
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Excellent control of morning-glory—in flower seed plantings in Santa Barbara County—was achieved in test plots sprayed with MCP and 2,4-D.

Walnut branch wilt: Reduction of disease in four-year experiment in Tulare County orchard
by J. H. Foott, A. H. Hendrickson, E. E. Wilson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Branch wilt—a destructive fungus disease of English walnuts in California—may be reduced by relatively simple changes in cultural practices. These changes involve: 1, removing all diseased branches from the tree each year; 2, fertilizing soil with a nitrogenous fertilizer; and 3, providing adequate soil moisture by irrigation throughout the growing season.

Reseeding forage after burns: Tests show seedling growth is best when forage is seeded in areas of white ash left by burns producing intense heat
by Eldon F. Azevedo
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Heavy growth of forage—seeded after a brush burn—on foothill ranges in Butte County was particularly noticeable in the areas covered by white ash at the time of reseeding.

Rice acreage may be cut in '56: Large carry-over of rice supply into 1955–56 marketing year plus 1955 crop creates special hazard for California growers
by Gordon A. Rowe

The long-run outlook for marketing California rice appears to be good, but the short-run outlook is anything but good.
