Re: QUESTION: Need information on growi
Re: growing cotton organically, the first issue of Farmer to Farmer was
about this very topic. It is out of print, but can be found on the World
wide WEb (I'm sorry I don't have the address on me; we'll post it soon.
In the meantime e-mail Thomas Nelson at CAFF: caff@igc.apc.org). I could
send you a hard copy if you prefer. . . give me a mailing address. Since
we are a small nonprofit, I can't send lots of copies to lots of people,
though. Thanks!

Re: FREE BOOK
The USDA has recently published _Fire Blight---Its Nature, Prevention,
and Control; A Practical Guide to Integrated Disease Management_. This
Agricultural Information Bulletin (AIB 631) was written by T. van der Zwet
of the ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station and S.V. Beer of the
Department of Plant Pathology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
While supplies last, copies may be obatained, AT NO COST, from the
following: USDA-ARS-NAA, Appalachian Fruit Research Station, 45 Wiltshire

Since I have no idea what (if any) experience you have in raising catfish, it
would not hurt to briefly remind you that the big problem in raising fish in
small containers is keeping adequate oxygen in the water. Small air pumps
designed for this purpose are available through marine supply stores. They are
used in live-bait tanks in sport-fishing boats. Shade is also necessary in
most parts of the country.
Tanks must be made of food-grade material and provide a method for removing
excess food. If you are referring to large tanks, considerable research has
been done. Here is a literature survey:
