But ott you iknow that there are Alleq awards in other fields, 4 a camellia, two gladius, three chrysanthemums, a nandful of annuals an da turnip ‘were also accorded All-America honors for 1960? The camellia is Sparkling Burgundy, a ruby colored gem of a camellia that knocked them dead in proving grounds from coast to coast. It is a Sansanqua variety n therefore an early bloomer.

We know ours. don’t. i We know, for instance, as the California Association of Nurserymen recently suggested, that we hang onto shrubs that have outlived their usefulness simply beeause we can’t bear to tear them out. We therefore resolve to uproot the two roses we’re not wild about anyway and to replace them with two new 1960 introductions. Now ,check these other resolutions and see if any apply to you. And while you are at it, add some more of your own. Resolved: That I will plan ahead this year to have the color combinations I want when I want them. (Particularly will I plant white stock and pink snapdragons in the same bed.) That I will harden my heart and uproot the overgrown foundation planting on the street side of my house . (To be replaced with lower and slower growing material such as dwarf juniper and India hawthorne.) _ That I will give my roses the attention they deserve so that I may ‘enjoy. them from spring through fall. (No bush shall flag for lack of water: nor suffer for want of food. Aphis shall not get GOING PLACES? . Dos’ forget your’ ° # Besa or Pleure Tepe will be suggested.) These are only some of our resolutions, There are others to do with lawn and hedge—and what have you. Some, we know, will be broken, but that’s all right, too. If they don’t all get don this year, we'll resolve to jo them next—and, sooner or later, we'll get them done for sure, Aerial Spraying Hits Poison Oak . A three year spraying program may solve most of the blue oak problems on California rangelands, Experimenting with aircraft spraying of phenoxy herbicides on the John Allen ranch in Amador County, University of California researchers killed, blue oak most effectively with the ester of 2,4,5-TP. Davis botanist O. A. Lee and.C. E. Carlson of the division of forestry achieved the best results by spraying in May of the first year, in June of the second year, and in May of the third year, With this spraying schedule, the 2,4,5-TP killed 90 per cent of the blue oak. and most of the poison oak, they reported. Because of the promise shown by 2,4,5-TP, further testing is planned with the herbicide. Drive Aims At Four Livestock Diseases Four principal diseases cause infertility and the resulting loss of profits among cattle—brucellosis, trichomoniasis, vibriosis, and lepto spirosis. The American Foundation For Animal Health is concluding a year-long drive to reduce incidence of these diseases which cost farmers more than $100,000,000 a year.

It may be a loose bolt, points out the National Automobile Club. Loose bolts, permitting the wheel to wobble, cause one of the most rapid forms ae wieoed crop aesdectioet ae during 1959, The State Department of Awe : culture has announced the tgp harest at 31,900,000 tons, an increase of 2,373600 tons over the total for 1958. ‘The Federal Agricultural Department. in, Washington announced California led, as it did last year, in total value of its} good crops — $1,842,655,000 this year and$1,719,288,000 last year. Texas was second with $1,432,352,000 this year. The tonnage figure, compiled by the California Farm Department’s crop and ‘livestock reporting service ,lists the new record as 6 per cent larger than the previous high crop yield of 30,200,000 tons in 1957. “The record production clearly demonstrates the advantage enjoyed by irrigated agriculture, since most of the state’s crop land is irrigated,” said the department's report. “Field crop acreage and production set new records in 1959. Fruit production was near a rec. ord and was over one-fifth larger than the light 1958 crop. “Vegetable production was down about 6 per cent because of a smaller tomato crop. Growers harested the third largest tonnage on record in 1959.” Lost Pear Trees Can Be Replaced University of California and Agricultura] Extension Service specialists told Delta pear growers last week that pear trees hit by “pear collapse,” which made its first appearance last summer, probably can be replaced suecessfully with young trees. In the Pacific Northwest, where what appears to be the same condition has ravaged pear orchards for several years, replants have grown well. The young treés are on rootstocks other than the Oriental varieties, in which the highest percentage of collapse or de-eline has appeared: About 95 growers attended the first of two annual pear meetings slated in the Delta area. 'Sacramento County Farm Advisor Gordon Morehead said the second, to be held during January or February, will be econcernsd with insect and disease control and marketing. problems.
