The Identification Of The More Important Prairie Hay Grasses Of Nebraska By Their Vegetative Characters, F. D. Keim, G. W. Beadle, A. L. Frolik
The Identification Of The More Important Prairie Hay Grasses Of Nebraska By Their Vegetative Characters, F. D. Keim, G. W. Beadle, A. L. Frolik
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
It is convenient and sometimes necessary to identify the grasses in their vegetative stage of growth. This is especially desirable in a study of the vegetation of native hay meadows and permanent pastures. This key is prepared as a guide in the identification of the more important prairie hay grasses of Nebraska. The meadows are often harvested before the floral parts of many of the grasses appear. If it is desired, therefore, to study the botanical composition of the native meadows, it becomes necessary to rely on identification of many of the grasses by means of vegetative characters.

Factors Affecting The Performance Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
Factors Affecting The Performance Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this investigation was to learn the effect of constructional details of the burner and the framework on the performance of kerosene stoves. Six stoves were used, four of the long-chimney type and two of the short-chimney type. Of the long-chimney burners, three were from the same manufacturer; the fourth was similar in appearance, but differed in performance. Of the short chimneys one burner used a wick, the other a lighting ring. The effect of: (1) draft variations and constructional details and (2) the framework on the heating time and thermal efficiency of stoves was studied.
Why Some Hens Lay More Eggs Than Others, H. E. Alder
Why Some Hens Lay More Eggs Than Others, H. E. Alder
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The 1929 report of the Storrs Egg Laying Contest, which has been conducted at Storrs, Connecticut, twenty-one years, shows that the best pen of ten hens entered laid 2,802 eggs, and the poorest pen laid 829 eggs. In the best pen the average egg production per hen was 280, 2 eggs as compared with 82.9 eggs per bird in the poorest pen. Why did the one pen lay so many eggs, and the other so few? This prompts us to try to find out what factors are responsible for the number of eggs a hen lays in the course of …

The Vitamin A And The Vitamin E Content Of Field-Cured And Artificially Cured Alfalfa Hay, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis, R. R. Graves
The Vitamin A And The Vitamin E Content Of Field-Cured And Artificially Cured Alfalfa Hay, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis, R. R. Graves
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
A comparative study of the vitamin A content of field-cured and artificially cured alfalfa was made by comparing the growth produced by 124 rats receiving alfalfa hay as their source of vitamin A. From the results of this study, in which the experiments were duplicated, it is concluded that under the conditions of these experiments the artificially cured alfalfa was twice as potent in vitamin A as was the field-cured alfalfa. The comparative study of the vitamin E content of these hays was made by comparing the number of litters produced by groups of female rats which received graded quantities …
The Nature Of Resistance In Alfalfa To Wilt (Aplanobacter Insidiosum L. Mc.), George L. Peltier, F. R. Schroeder
The Nature Of Resistance In Alfalfa To Wilt (Aplanobacter Insidiosum L. Mc.), George L. Peltier, F. R. Schroeder
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Alfalfa wilt was first discovered in 1924 in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The causal organism, Aplanobacter insidiosum, was later described by McCulloch. Since that time wilt has been reported from most of the alfalfa-growing sections of the United States and in some states it has been responsible for a rapid decrease in the acreage of alfalfa. During the past three years a number of investigators have found that certain alfalfas are somewhat resistant to wilt, whereas others are very susceptible. At the Nebraska station the results to date indicate that all common and most variegated alfalfas are very …

Root System Of Quercus Macrocarpa In Relation To The Invasion Of Prairie, J. E. Weaver, Joseph Cramer
Root System Of Quercus Macrocarpa In Relation To The Invasion Of Prairie, J. E. Weaver, Joseph Cramer
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Invasion of trees into grassland is primarily a phenomenon of plant competition. It involves the relation of the invaded and the invader to light and other atmospheric factors of the habitat, both physical and biotic. But perhaps even to a greater degree the edaphic factors, and especially water in dry climates, are concerned. Consequently to understand the reasons for plant distribution and the changes resulting from natural successions, a knowledge of the parts of the plants underground and of the interrelations of the root systems is of fundamental importance.
The great tension zone or ecotone between the deciduous forest formation …
On The Trigonometric Developments Of Certain Doubly Periodic Functions Of The Second Kind, M. A. Basoco
On The Trigonometric Developments Of Certain Doubly Periodic Functions Of The Second Kind, M. A. Basoco
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
The class of meromorphic functions which satisfy periodicity relations of the form (1) ƒ(z + 2ωl) = c1f(z), f(z + 2ω2) = c2f{z), where the multipliers c1 and c2 are independent of z, and ωl/ω2 is a complex number with non-vanishing imaginary part, has been named by Hermite doubly periodic of the second kind. It is possible to make the study of these functions depend on others of the same type, but such that one of the multipliers, say cl, is unity. In what follows …

Tuber Development In Triumph Potatoes As Influenced By Time Of Planting On Dry Land In Northwestern Nebraska, H. O. Werner
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Triumph potatoes were planted on four different dates during six years in order to determine the best planting date on dry land in northwestern Nebraska, where this variety is grown primarily for seed. Features considered in comparing the merits of these planting dates were: stand of plants; vine growth; disease prevalence; time of plant maturity; number, size, and shape of tubers; cracking at harvest time; prevalence and severity of common scab; total yields and yields of various grades of potatoes from various harvesting dates; weight loss in storage; and duration of the dormant period.
