 This is a joint progress report of cooperative investigations underway in the State 
 Agricultural Experiment Stations and Agricultural Research Service, 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 to 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 Agricultural Research Service and was compiled by Agricultural Research 
 Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.  The 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.
