In herbicide plots on tree fruits in the Willamette Valley and at Hood River there has been a consistent correlation between weed control effectiveness and tree growth in young orchards. This appears to be particularly true of weed control during the spring and summer obtained from spring applications as compared...
In his book on abstract algebra, Nathan Jacobson
poses and solves the problem of finding the number of
ways of inserting parentheses in a string of given length
with binary operators. We continue the work of Jacobson
and go beyond it in that we no longer consider one binary

It is not desirable to open crabbing seasons when a significant percentage of crabs still have soft shells following molting. Unfortunately, crabs do not molt on a fixed timetable. The problem of when to start the crabbing season is one that Oregon fishery managers have wrestled with for decades. This...
Previous research has indicated several soil-applied herbicides
are more effective by exposure to emerging shoots than from
root uptake. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and growth
chamber to investigate effects of herbicide placement in soil on
toxicity to emerging seedlings.
In these studies, an inch of treated soil was...
The market sampling program for Dover, English, and petrale sole, and Pacific Ocean perch continued. Market conditions severely limited landings during the last quarter. A Dover sole cruise was completed in May. Data from the July 1966 Dover sole cruise plus data from two shrimp cruises (October-November 1966 and March-April...
