Abstract
THE British South Africa Co. has issued a report on the activities of the Mazoe Citrus Experimental Station up to the end of 1932 (Oxford Univ. Press, 192 pp.). The Director, Dr. W. J. Hall, and Mr. W. K. Ford are engaged in a study of the citrus insects of Southern Rhodesia, and publish detailed descriptions of a considerable number of pests. Soils of the Mazoe Estate are under investigation by Dr. A. A. Morris, who contributes a paper on the relation between soils and field practices. Special attention has been devoted to irrigation, cover crops and manures. Problems of artificial coloration, maturity and transport wastage of oranges have engaged the attention of Mr. G. R. Bates. The work of the Station is comparatively recent, but the various problems are being studied with a detail which should ensure the production of valuable results.
