Farm Advisor

Citrus growers who recently at
tended the Imperial county eXcur-
sion to the Citrus Experiment sta
ton of the University of California
at Riverside gained a great deal of
Interesting as well as valuable in
formation.
DR.. F., F. Halma showed q method
which he has developed of propagat-
ing Marsh Seedless and other citrus
varieties on their own roots. This
was done by roofing cuttings of new
but mature wood in sand under glass
in, humid atmosphere. DR.. Halma
pointed out that this means OF citrus
propagation at present has no com
mercial or practical significance
although it is very useful for ex-
detrimental work. 1t is his observa-
tion that citrus trees grown from
cuttings have more shallow root sys-
TENS than do the same species grown
from seed. One of his findings, thnt
the rate of root growth is approx
mately proportional to the number
of leaves left ON each cutting may
lave practical application. 1t may
indicate that citrus seedlings or nur-
scry trees which are not defoliated
when thransplanted might be eX-
pected to root faster than when de
:oliated. ID
Vigorous Nursery Trees Most PROFIT
able
The root stock Investigations were
shown and explained by DR.. Il. }.
Webber. He first called attention
20 three rows of u year old citrus
trees, each row of which contained
Marsn grapefruit, Valencia and
Washington Navel oranges. One row
had been grown from large nursery
trees, one from small and the third
from intermediate sized nursery
trees. At the present time, II year,
from planting, these trees still have
the same difference in size. The row
grown from large nursery trees ha:
been the most productive and profit
able: and that from small nursery
trees, the least profitable. Thesi
trees are all of the same age, from
the same nursery, and the differen'
sized trees of each variety had beer
propagated from the same paren
tree. Apparently the variation il
size and production has been due
to differences in the seeding root
stocks on which the trees wer,
propagated.
The results of this experiment ar'
vaulahfe to growers making new
citrus paintings. 1t indicates tina
large nursery trees are worth muci
more than small nursery trees of tn,
same age.
The Imperial county visitors wer'
shown through the fertilization eX
periments by Gordon Surr. The dif
1erential fertilizer treatments wer,
started in 1927 on trees planted il
1917. In the writer's opinion one o
the most interesting of the fer
t:.izer experiments to Imperial Val
ley growers is one on time of appll
cation of manure. The plot manureC
in the fall produced an average o,
20 pounds of fruit per tree in 1922
