Amazon carries a used version of CRFG Yearbook 1973 with Douglas M.
Hinds as one of the editors for $19; including "The Need to Develop
Seedling Strains in Fruit Trees".
So it's available, and that's good. But getting it here is a little
more costly and complicated due the need to cross an international
border. And all I really need is the text of the article rather than the
whole yearbook, in order to transcribe it back to digital form, again.

Pine_Tree_Bookstore in Santa Cruz CA is listed as the owner but I find
nothing listed for them in Santa Cruz. It must exist only on the
Internet.

International Standard: 3 to 6 weeks (may take 8 to 12 weeks due to customs delays)
International Expedited: 3 to 7 business days

In their Amazon.com storefront they offer contact but you have to log into Amazon to use it.

(If I had a phone number I'd give them a call and ask them to
scan and email it. The Yearbooks aren't large - two pages could be
scanned at a time, so 5 scans would do it).

There are copyright restrictions that would prevent them from selling you a scanned copy. I found this out trying to find a digital copy on the web.

You will have to buy the book. You should be able to do that from Mexico. There seems to be only one copy available and it is used in excellent condition.

Likewise, "The Need to Develop Seedling Strains in Fruit Trees" (1973,
pp. 91-110) is listed in CRFG's bibliography.
http://www.crfg.org/fg/xref/xref-p.html
It's listed under both Plant Genetics and Propagation. But that only
shows the article was printed. There's no link i can see to the article
itself.

I assume it was you that found the two links above, and that the
suggestion below is probably yours too.

No, all of that was from Steve, none from me including that below.

Given a PhD position with research funds and experiment station lands,
or just independent wealth for a personal experimental farm, I can see a
longtime field trial with multi-species fruit trees plantings that would
examine the seedling vs grafted tree theory, along with mixed species
plantings to create diversity and natural pest control, mulch-based
systems, etc."
The actual name of the article was "Indications of Metabolic Imbalance
in Budded/Grafted Fruit Trees".
