One Thousand Questions in California Agriculture Answered By E. J. Wickson Professor of Horticulture, University of California; Editor of Pacific Rural Press; Author of "California Fruits and How to Grow Them" and "California Vegetables in Garden and Field," etc. Pacific Rural Press San Francisco 1914 Copyright 1913 By E. J. Wickson And Pacific Rural Press Foreword This brochure is not a systematic treatise in catechetical form intended to cover what the writer holds to be most important to know about California agricultural practices. It is simply a classified arrangement of a thousand or more questions which have been actually asked, and to which answers have been undertaken through the columns of the Pacific Rural Press, a weekly journal of agriculture published in San Francisco. Whatever value is claimed for the work is based upon the assumption that information, which about seven hundred people have actually asked for, would be also interesting and helpful to thousands of other people. If you do not find in this compilation what you desire to know, submit your question to the Pacific Rural Press, San Francisco, in the columns of which answers to agricultural questions are weekly set forth at the rate of five hundred or more each year. This publication is therefore intended to answer a thousand questions for you and to encourage you to ask a thousand more. E. J. Wickson. Contents Part I. Fruit Growing Part II.
