Effects Of Mowing Frequency On The Yield And Protein Content Of Several Grasses Grown In Pure Stands, L. C. Newell, F. D. Keim

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This paper presents results of a five-year experiment conducted at the Agricultural Experiment Station, Lincoln, Nebraska, on the adaptation, yield, and quality of several grasses subjected to different frequencies of harvest as a means of determining their forage value.

Aspen Properties And Uses, Zigmond A. Zasada

Aspen Bibliography

Because of the large demand for lumber during the last 10 years, and particularly during the war period, aspen has entered many new fields of use. At present there is widespread interest in the possibilities of building new industries and extending the life of old ones by increased use of aspen. Many people are interested in becoming familiar with this wood. This report has been prepared to give general information on the properties and present uses of aspen and also to help in correcting some of the existing erroneous ideas about this wood.

A Method Of Measuring Vigor Of Range Grasses, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

After several years of intensive study of midwestern prairies, their degeneration under grazing was given careful consideration (Weaver and Fitzpatrick, '32, '34; Weaver and Hansen, '41). It was ascertained that the intelligent use or careless abuse of these grasslands had resulted in pastures and ranges which could logically be grouped into four classes. These were excellent, good, medium, and poor. The first consisted almost entirely of climax grasses and an abundance of nutritious forbs which, as is almost universally found, were of the highest grazing value (Bews, '29: 298). In good pastures many of these persisted, but there was a …

Bulletin No. 328 - Maturity Studies With Canning Peas, L. H. Pollard, E. B. Wilcox, H. B. Peterson

UAES Bulletins

In the growing and processing of canning peas there are many factors which influence yield and quality. Of these, the stage of maturity is possibly the most important. Beyond the stage of maximum quality, peas continue to grow in size and yields increase but quality decreases. Consequently, both growers and processors are definitely interested in knowing the stage of maturity at which peas should be harvested for the greatest yield of acceptable quality. Peas harvested and processed at that stage should give both growers and canners the maximum returns if grading methods are satisfactory and price schedules equitable.

Farm Fishponds, Verne E. Davison

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

An important part of soil and moisture conservation is making the best use of every acre on the farm. Where a suitable site for a farm pond exists, no better use can be made of such land than to develop it for the production of fish for the farm family. The recreation the pond affords adds much to the pleasure of rural life.

Thousands of farms have good pond sites. Properly developed and managed ponds may provide both food and pleasure to more than a million farm people.

This bulletin tells how to have good ponds. It explains how to …

Bulletin No. 327 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report, 1944-1946, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

During the past biennium there has been a general expansion in the research program of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. Although some of the investigations were curtailed by lack of personnel and equipment and the pressure of wartime assignments, many of the staff were able to devote more time to research because of a lessening of the teaching load at the College. The emergency caused a re-examination of the research program, old projects, no longer urgent were weeded out, others were revised to meet the needs of the changing times, and many new projects were initiated to extend the research …
