A great article and interview
which outlines the spectacular career and life of Dr. Childers. His early
work "Daily Rate of Photosynthesis During the Growing Season of a Young Apple
Tree" is one of the classic papers in horticultural science. Completed in
1935, it is still being referenced today. Dr. Childers is internationally
known and has been receiving awards and accolades since 1933. During his
career in education, he has trained over 70 graduate students along with
establishing endowments and awards.
Currently celebrating its 125th anniversary, American Fruit Grower magazine
has been on the cutting edge of providing fruit growers information on
production, crop protection, varieties, marketing, and more. Over 37,000
copies are circulated every month to horticulturalists and industry
professionals.
