Proceedings of the 50th Annual Western Orchard Pest and Disease Management Conference, held January 14-16, 1976 at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
This paper describes a method for measuring nearshore ocean wave characteristics with a land-based, long-period vertical seismometer. The wavemeter system has proven to be highly reliable and produces continuous wave observations at low cost. It is now operational at six Coast Guard stations along the Oregon and Washington coasts; data...

Stem form development of trees in response to wind has been established in the literature to be a response to stem sway induced by the wind. The response is manifested in modifications to height and diameter growth which strengthen the stem against wind stresses. Experiments in the literature show that...
As the demands for forest products increase, additional timber harvesting operations can be expected on steep mountainous terrain, The resulting disruption of natural slope stability by man's disturbances (roadbuilding, logging and vegetative manipulation, etc.) may also accelerate mass movement processes in this terrain. Swanston (1969) defines mass movement as ".,...
Commercial thinning young growth forests is an increasingly
important silvicultural technique for improving second growth
management of Douglas-fir stands. Research aimed at advancing the
efficiency of skyline logging operations in small wood timber stands
is essential in order to make thinning these young stands economical.
The purpose of this study...
The preparation of suitable sites for planting and growing of tree seedlings following logging is recognized by British Columbia Forest Service as a major silvicultural problem in the Central and Northern Interior regions of the province. Over the past few decades, scarification trials have been made with various types of...

The purpose of this study was to determine the nature and amountof genetic variation and possible associations between winterhardinessand earliness in winter x spring wheat crosses.Four winter wheat cultivars selected for differences in earlinessand winterhardiness were crossed with a nonhardy, day length insensitivespring wheat cultivar. The following year, experiments containing...
July 1, 1974-June 30, 1976. The first biennial report following the merging of the Wildlife Commission and the Fish Commission. This report summarizes fish and game resources for the biennium, as well as research conducted and an outline of activities to educate the public on operations. It still contains information...
The objective of this project was to determine the limitations of the distillation equipment available and to design suitable experiments for chemical engineering students with these limitations in mind. This paper, then, serves as an operating manual and reference guide to the use of the glass distillation equipment and the...
