1936

Prolonged experiments have to be carried out to find out the optimum maturity of the fruit for refrigeration the best form of pre-treatment the exact temperature at which the fruit should be stored and perhaps the air pressure which should be maintained in the chamber. [...] (Cantab) AG1?ICULTITI?All CHEMIST IN April-May 1935 I had the opportunity of visiting Palestine and during my month's stay in that country was enabled through the kind services of the Imperial Chemical Industries (Levant Ltd.) and the Department of Agriculture Palestine to obtain a first-hand acquaintance with the present position of its citrus industry the main industry of the country. [...] The trials were carried out to determine the relative values of the species from the point of view of palatability. [...] In the case of the 31 plots in which a grass species was grown the name of the grass is given to indicate the plot. [...] Wherever the growth of the grass was thick the Desmodium was poor but under normal grazing conditions when the pasture is regularly grazed down from time to time the development of the legminous plant can be expected to keep pace with that of the grass.
