I emailed Steve Diver about the article you sent him and he sent me this replyThanks for contacting him.
today:
"I remember an email exchange with Douglas about his ideas on "seedling"
vs "grafted" fruit trees and found it quite interesting. That must have
been about 12-15 years ago as he noted. But I don't recall receiving
any articles or materials other than his email explanation. So no I
cannot retrieve anything.
Amazon carries a used version of CRFG Yearbook 1973 with Douglas M.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.
Hinds as one of the editors for $19; including "The Need to Develop
Seedling Strains in Fruit Trees".
Likewise, "The Need to Develop Seedling Strains in Fruit Trees" (1973,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.
pp. 91-110) is listed in CRFG's bibliography.

Given a PhD position with research funds and experiment station lands,The actual name of the article was "Indications of Metabolic Imbalance in Budded/Grafted Fruit Trees". The problem referred to extends to the fruit, as well as the organism that consumes it. So the question is one of protocols, knowing what to test for (i.e. Photosynthetic Efficiency)! Fruit production has three separate but related functions: Plant Health, Nutritional Content and Economic Viability, which in turn depends on Productivity, Production Costs and the existing or potential Consumer Demand for the Product.
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."
