Abstract
As part of the cotton forecasting research reported by Hendricks and Huddleston elsewhere in
this issue, intensive studies are conducted in an attempt to make more accurate predictions
of the quantity of immature fruit on the plants, as of a given date, which will develop to maturity
and contribute to final yield. Those studies are concerned with tracing life histories
of individual bolls and trying to find out how various factors affect probabilities of survival
of those bolls. Mr. Fleischer, whose institution is cooperating in these studies, here reports
on one phase of the problem.
