The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz
The Botanic Garden Moves, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
In 1950, the decision was taken to relocate Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden from its original site—Mrs. Susanna Bixby Bryant's ranch in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County—to today's Claremont location in eastern Los Angeles County. The move reflected a wish to align the founder's mandate to "foster scientific research and public welfare" by seeking affiliation with the Claremont Colleges. The change enabled it to train graduate students in botany and related fields and draw more visitors to a garden devoted to native California plants. Accounts describe how the new site was adapted to its purpose, including the construction of …

In the years 1960–1977, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden fully embraces its role as teaching institution and as advocate and guardian of the native California flora. Expansion of the living collection, landscaping of the grounds, public education, herbarium and library activities, and publication output are detailed. To accommodate a growing number of graduate students, the faculty—consisting of Richard K. Benjamin, Sherwin Carlquist, and Lee. W. Lenz—is joined by Peter H. Raven, Ronald Scogin, John P. Simon, and Robert F. Thorne.

Epilogue, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Factors that may have been decisive in turning Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden into a successful establishment of botanical teaching and a garden devoted to the conservation and showcasing of the native California flora are put forward. In addition to the enthusiasm and tenacity of its founder, Susanna Bixby Bryant, inspiration and advice came from several other key figures, notably Carl Brandt Wolf, Ernest Braunton, Willis Linn Jepson, and Theodore Payne.

The Botanic Garden—A Reality, Lee W. Lenz
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The year 1927 marks the beginning of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden at its original location in Santa Ana Canyon, northeastern Orange County, California. Letters exchanged between Susanna Bixby Bryant, the botanic garden founder, and various botanists and horticulturalists trace her efforts to obtain seed and planting stock, herbarium specimens, and books and periodicals for her library. Much discussion is devoted to the question of how to fill the position of Scientific Director.

G74-123 Weed Control In Reduced Tillage Corn (Revised May 1982), Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Weeds compete with corn plants for water, nutrients and light. Historically, the soil has been extensively tilled to prepare a seedbed and to lessen or remove weed competition. This tillage centered around moldboard plowing.
Results of a recent survey indicate that most Nebraska farmers now use some form of reduced tillage, with the moldboard plow being used on only 11 percent of Nebraska's corn acreage. Reduced tillage is used in many forms.
This NebGuide discusses how to control weeds using the different types of tillage systems.

"This short history of the development of forest conservation in Texas is intended primarily for the general reader. The study has concentrated on the early history of the conservation movement, dating from the beginning of commercial lumbering in the state, approximately 1880, to about 1940 and World War II."

Cc56-133 Poultry Profit Pointers: Quality Eggs, Elvin C. Schulte
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Consumers are learning that eggs are a protective food, high in nutritive value, and essential in a good diet. As a result, they are buying more eggs. At the same time, housewives are becoming more egg-quality conscious. They are demanding better eggs. It is essential, therefore, that every egg producer take particular care of the eggs he produces and markets.
This campaign circulars discusses how a producer can deliver the best quality eggs to the market. It covers housing, feeding, producing clean eggs, cleaning eggs, cooling eggs, packaging eggs, and marketing.

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station has been working with partridge pea since 1944. Seed has been distributed for tests, and several farmers are now growing it. It is primarily a plant for soil conservation and soil improvement. Its value in comparison with other legumes have not been fully established.

Studies Of Increment, Height-Weight, And Moisture Content Of Important Western Kansas Grasses., John Launchbaugh
Master's Theses
A logical approach to the question of how much forage is taken by livestock would be, it seems, to study first the growth habits of the important species of p:i.sture and range grasses in the areas where they are used. The purpose of this report, therefore, was to stud y the development of several species of perennial grasses in the mixed prairie of west-central Kamas from near the beginning of the grazing season until the grasses had reached maturity.

The Ecology Of A Pasture In The Dakota Sandstone Formation In Ellsworth County, Kansas, Byron O. Blair
Master's Theses
The vast area of prairie of the United States has long been known as the "feeding grounds" for herbivorous animals. In the past, the standard of living of the people of grassland regions has been measured largely by the ability of the native ranges to produce ·vegetation sufficient to maintain economical livestock production. It has become apparent that if our desired living standard is to be maintained, we must direct our efforts toward a program by the most rapid and efficient means possible, which will bring economic stability to the seventeen million acres of grassland in the Great Plains region. …

A Descriptive Analysis Of The Musculature And Osseous Systems Of The Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys Ordii, Virgil Mathis
Master's Theses
The kangaroo rats constitute the only genus, Dipodomys, of the subfamily Heteromyinae, now extant . There is fossil evidence of two other genera which are now extinct. The kangaroo rat, Dipodomys ordii richardsoni, is one of the common rodents of western Kansas . According to Hibbard (3, p. 76), "Its range extends northeastward along the Kansas river into Riley County." These animals are easily distinguished from other rodents by their long tail, long hind legs and feet, small hands, fur lined external cheek pouches, and their saltating method of locomotion. These rodents are seldom seen by the casual observer, being …

Ec38-118 Soil And Moisture Conservation In Nebraska, D.L. J. Gross, E.H. Doll
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
When the white men first explored Nebraska, they found little erosion taking place. They found the hills, particularly in eastern Nebraska, covered with a dense growth of grass, underlain with a thick mat of decaying debris. The valleys were even more densely covered with the water-loving grasses and sedges. The soil underneath the prairie was black and spongy, the result of centuries of accumulating humus. The valleys bordering the streams were boggy and abounded with springs. Clear water flowed constantly in the streams. The upland draws in the more favorable parts of the state were heavily covered with the big …
