Site of Cove Paddocks experiments near Skyline Drive. 



near Seeley Creek Ranger Station showed that 

 the growing plant stored its starchy food 

 chiefly in its roots and collar. Grubbing the 

 plants an inch or two below ground surface 

 early in the growing season, before much food 

 was stored, gave reasonably good control. 



This study provided considerable informa- 

 tion about food storage and the time of clip- 

 ping that would produce greatest effect. Thus it 

 furnished essential background for plant food 

 reserve studies 20 years later by E. C.McCarty 

 and Raymond Price (1942).
