 This is a joint progress report of cooperative investigations underway in the State 
 Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S.

 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.
