That the ladies won’t let us deny. But no shortage of “girdling” of orange trees existed, as disclosure by the citrus experiment station at Riverside this week reveals. “Girdling” contributed greatly to the production of vitally needed citrus juice during the war. This is just one of the facts unearthed at the station, which has been quietly pursuing its long-range program of benefiting California orange grapefruit and lemon production. The facts about girdling and other developments were told by Archie D: Shamel, world-famous plant wizard of the station, and Dr. L. D. Batchelor, station director. “Girdling” still is somewhat of a mystery, but it results in larger fruit on old citrus trees, and hence larger production. The practice was expanded tremendously during the war. “Girdling” consists of slicing the bark and the cambium (or under-layer) completely through to the wood, during the height of the blooming season. A very sharp linoleum or grape knife is used to get a clean cut. Yield is increased from 35 to 100 per cent the first year, with a huge increase in inside fruit. Apparently the girdling checks for about two weeks the movement of carbohydrates from the tops of the trees to the bottom, and the movement of nitrogen and minerals from the bottom to the top. This favors the setting of fruit. The method doesn’t seem to work with lemons or grapefruit, however. While block-busters and atom bombs were being dropped elsewhere in the world, the citrus station was busy trying to develop new rootstocks for oranges, lemons and grapefruit, creating several thousand new hybrid fruits. Today Launches State Observance Of Conservation California’s 12th annual Conservation Week opens today to continue until March 14 at schools and in public programs. In an announcement made at U.S. forest service headquarters here, Miss Pearl Chase of Santa Barbara, president of the California Conservation council, declared “the annual program calls attention to the real need for conservation education and for participation in conservation activities.” The conservation council, which has been sponsoring the week since 1935 in cooperation with federal, state and private natural resource agencies, has the spirited assistance of 5000 individual conservationists throughout California. The council cites a series of successful yearlong programs “for stimulating conservation education and practices directed toward best serving the interests of the state and nation.” In doing so, the organization adopted the unique policy of neither proposing nor endorsing legislation—and found that the plan brought many divergent groups into closer harmony. The opening day’s observance of Conservation Week is California bird and Arbor day today.

Park Development Park Development In State Sought Forecasting tremendous increased vacation use of America's national forests and national parks, the California state chamber of commerce is supporting increased appropriations by congress for adequate recreational development in national forest and parks within California. Action follows surveys of the state chamber's travel and recreation department. These studies revealed badly deteriorated or obsolete facilities in national parks and forests through wartime cessation of recreational improvement. The survey also shows increasing numbers of California residents and visitors plan to vacation in these areas. "Not only will California's greatly increased population and state visitors use national forests and parks in increased numbers, but in thousands of instances, the time they spend in such recreation will be doubled due to the five-day week in many lines of work, allowing two days weekly for recreation," declared Joseph R. Knowland, Oakland publisher, who is chairman of the state chamber's travel and recreation committee.
