 This is a joint progress report of cooperative
 investigations underway in the State Agricultural Experiment
 Stations and the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S.
 Department of Agriculture containing preliminary data which
 have not been sufficiently confirmed to justify general
 release; interpretations may be modified with additional
 experimentation.  Confirmed results will be published
 through established channels.  The report is primarily a
 tool for use of cooperators and their official staffs and
 for those persons having direct and special interest in the
 development of agricultural research programs.
 
 This report includes data furnished by the State
 Agricultural Experiment Stations as well as by the
 Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of
 Agriculture.  This report is not intended for publication
 and should not be referred to in literature citations nor
 quoted in publicity or advertising.  Use of the data may be
 granted for certain purposes upon written request to the
 agency or agencies involved.
