factors in determining the standard of exhibition fruit. Other necessary details to be borne 

 in mind by the farmer in selecting and exhibiting products, so as to obtain the most satisfac- 

 tory results, are outlined. — F. deVilliers.

831. Schmidt, R. Summer pruning in raisin vineyards. Associated Grower 1-: 10. 

 1920. — As the plant requires an abundance of leaf surface to make a satisfactory growth, 

 summer pruning should be mild. However, some pruning during the growing season is bene- 

 ficial esi)ecially in 1- and 2-year old plants. — E. L. Overholser. 



832. Schuster, C. E. Cherry breeding. Oregon Agric. Exp. Sta. Crop Pest and Hort. 

 Rept. 3: 42-A3. 1921. — Seedlings of the Bing, Lambert, and Napoleon varieties have proved 

 self sterile but set good crops when open to insect pollination. Resistance to gummosis is 

 variable. A large number produce fruit of excellent quality. The season of maturity is 

 variable, as is also the texture of the flesh; some are suitable for fresh shipment, others for 

 canning. — E. J. Kraus. 



833. Schuster, C. E. Pollination of the Ettersburg No. 121 strawberry. Oregon Agric. 

 Exp. Sta. Crop Pest and Hort. Rept. 3: 44-46. Fig. 9-10. 1921.— The fruit of this variety 

 is very solid, borne on stiff upright stalks, and suitable for canning. All evidence indicates that 

 it is self-fertile and cross pollination does not increase the yield. About 13 per cent of the sec- 

 ondary blossoms mature into fruits, whereas practically all of the primary blossoms mature. 

 Since each plant produces a total of 150-600 blossoms, and of these from 50-54 per cent are 

 considered as primary, normally as many fruits are set as can be matured to good size. — E. J. 

 Kraus.

 Sta. Crop Pest and Hort. Rept. 3: 172-173. Fig. 49. 1921.— A late fall or winter spray of 

 Bordeaux mixture, 6-6-50, or of lime-sulphur, 1-8, sufficient to saturate the growths will 

 destroy moss and lichens. — E. J. Kraus. 



835. Snyder, E. A year's work with Zante currants. Associated Grower 1'': 26-27. 

 1920. — Panariti is the main variety of "currants" grown. Ringing has been demonstrated 

 to be a good, as well as a necessary, practice. For drying, the fruit should be fully mature. — 

 E. L. Overholser.

837. Snyder, E. Timely hints on ringing the Panariti. Associated Grower 1-: 6. 1920. 

 — Ringing is best practiced during the blooming period. Preferably each cane should be 

 ringed separately, making 2 cuts l-\ inch apart as close to the base of the cane as possible, 

 and completely removing the bark between the incisions. The resulting clusters are heavier, 

 more compact, and more uniform. — E. L. Overholser.
