On The Sedges Of Nebraska (Family Cyperaceae), John Mallory Bates

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

The sedges (Family Cyperaceae) are grass-like plants, but easily distinguished from the true grasses (Poaceae) by the following characteristics: culms solid, pithy, cylindrical, trigonous or flattened. Grass culms by contrast are mostly hollow and cylindrical. Sheaths not open lengthwise opposite the leaf blade, tightly enclosing the culm. Spikes simple or compound, mostly subtended by leaflike bracts, which are sometimes longer than the culm. Spikelets one- to many-flowered, each flower subtended and sometimes embraced by a single short herbaceous or scarious bract or scale, the most characteristic mark of this family. Fruit an achene, trigonous, lenticular, or plano-convex; …

Iv. On A New Fossil Fungus From The Nebraska Pliocene, A. C. Whitford

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

While studying the fossil woods of Nebraska, under the direction of Dr. E. H. Barbour, it was my good fortune to find an interesting specimen. This specimen is in the collection of fossil woods in the Nebraska State Museum, and was collected by Dr. Barbour from the Pliocene, or Snake Creek beds, about 20 miles south of Agate, Nebraska, during the summer of 1911.
The specimen itself is about six inches long by four inches wide and two inches thick. It has the appearance of typical agatized wood, but has numerous limonite streaks running through it. Upon sectioning the specimen, …

I. On The Distribution And Composition Of The Humus Of The Loess Soils Of The Transition Region, Morris Blish

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

The main object of this investigation has been to determine the distribution of the humus, to a depth of six feet, throughout the soils in representative virgin prairies of the so-called “transition region" of Nebraska. This region is the large area which extends westward from the Missouri River for a distance of over three hundred miles and which is covered, for the most part, with loess soil. This is, agriculturally, the most important soil in the state of Nebraska, and covers more than half the area of the state. The term "transition region" is employed to convey the idea of …

V. Mammalian Fossils From Devil’S Gulch, Erwin Barbour

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

The fauna of the beds at Devil's Gulch and vicinity is rich and varied, and promises to fill certain gaps in the Pliocene and early Pleistocene, where investigation seems especially desirable. The object of this paper is to make a partial faunal list and to describe two new proboscideans and a new equine.

Bulletin No. 132 - Minor Dry Land Crops At The Nephi Experiment Farm, P. V. Cardon

UAES Bulletins

The investigations conducted at the Nephi substation deal primarily with cereals; other crops, such as alfalfa, peas, corn, potatoes, etc., have occupied only a secondary position in the work of this station. This necessarily has been true because the experiments are confined to dry-land practices, and the cereals unquestionably comprise the basal crops for dry-land farming as it is now understood and practiced in Utah. No crops have been found as yet which yield so profitably on the dry lands as do the cereals, especially winter varieties.

The purpose of this bulletin is to review the work done on the …

Circular No. 16 - Better Seed, Frank S. Harris

UAES Circulars

It is impossible to produce good crops unless good seed is used. The soil may be of the best quality and it may be prepared in the most thorough manner, the supply of moisture may be ample, the season may be the most favorable, yet all these count for little if worthless seed is planted.

Circular No. 17 - The Number And Distribution Of Licensed Stallions And Jacks In The State In 1913, W. E. Carroll

UAES Circulars

Table No. 1 shows the number of licensed stallions and jacks of each breed in each county of the State. It will be seen that 439 licenses have been issued. Of these 92 are grades, which means that 79 per cent of all the licensed animals of the State are purebred. Cache County leads with 59 licensed animals, including 8 grades. Sevier County stands second with 51, including 8 grade animals. Sanpete County has 43 licensed animals, including 10 grades. Utah County has 44, two of which are grades. The number of licensed animals vary in the other counties from …

Bulletin No. 131 - Variety Tests Of Field Crops In Utah, Frank S. Harris, J. C. Hogenson

UAES Bulletins

The number of varieties of practically all the field crops is now very great, and is increasing every year. Each variety has certain growers who believe in it and who do what they can to make it more widely grown. As a result many varieties of crops are found in most every farming community.

This condition is often bad, since it is impossible to build up a good market with a great mixture of varieties of any crop. A much better price can be obtained if each community offers for sale large quantities of a few standard types, rather than …

Donovan Family : Scrap Book Of Recipes & Household Hints, Ballymore

Books/Book Chapters

Mary Ogle married Captain John Broughton of Maidstone, Kent in 1720 and their daughter Mary was born in Jersey in 1724. She was an heiress and married Edward Donovan, Barrister at Law, of Ballymore, Co. Wexford and 24, Peter Street, Dublin in 1747. They had 21 children, sixteen lived and five died unbaptized. Perhaps, some of her daughters wrote down some of the recipes, as the family would have employed cooks down through the generations.

Their eldest son Richard inherited Ballymore Estate and married Anne Richards, daughter of Goddard Richards at Grange, Co. Wexford. There is little known about her …

Rocky Mountain Flowers, Frederic E. Clements, Edith Schwartz Clements

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE FOR PLANT-LOVERS AND PLANT-USERS WITH TWENTY-FIVE PLATES IN COLOR AND TWENTY-TWO PLATES IN BLACK AND WHITE

The present book is an endeavor to present the materials of the Rocky Mountain flora in preliminary form from the standpoint of the experimental ecologist. The latter is concerned primarily with the relationships of "species" and their subdivisions as an organic expression or measure of habitat differences, and of the competitive relations of the various formations. Whatever the taxonomic value of the numerous segregates of the last decade or two, the fact that the binomial form conceals the relationship to the …

Multiple Factors Vs. "Golden Mean" In Size Inheritance, R. A. Emerson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Groth's preliminary note on the "golden mean" in the inheritance of sizes in SCIENCE of April 17, 1914, pp. 581-584, deserves the attention of geneticists. Its publication is of such recent date that I need only call attention to one or two points that seem to me of particular moment.

In brief, Groth's hypothesis is that the mode

of inheritance in F_l not only of surfaces and

volumes, but also of linear dimensions is to be

expressed by √ab rather than by a + b /2

where a and b are parent sizes. The hypothesis

is based upon …

Les Bourdons De La Belgique, F. J. Ball

An

Le genre Boinbus, si intéressant à divers points de vue, est un genre dont la systématique présente encore de grandes lacunes et réclame de nombreuses recherches. La rléfinilion de ses espèces manque absolument de précision. Cela provient de la variabilité extrê me qui y règne. D'une part on peut renconfrer de grandes variations de coloris chez des exemplaires appartenant à une mê me espèce; et de l'autre des individus d'aspect presque identique se difîérencient par des caractères morphologiques importants, mais peu visibles. Il s'ensuit que la liste des espèces et des variétés pour un même pays varie considérablement suivant les …

Revisions Of Some Plant Phyla, Charles E. Bessey

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

In the time that has elapsed since the publication of my "Synopsis of Plant Phyla" (University Studies, Vol. VII, NO. 4) it has been possible to make many changes in the arrangement of the orders and families of several of the phyla. On account of their considerable number it is desirable to present these changes in one paper so as to accomplish the revision of the original paper with as little confusion as possible.

The Plant World is here regarded as readily separable into fourteen Phyla (often called "Branches" or "Divisions"). These are subdivided into Classes, and these again into …

Studies Of North American Bees, Myron Harmon Swenk

University Studies (University of Nebraska): Papers

The present paper is the second of the series proposed in a previous contribution on the family Nomadidae (antea, XII, pp. 1- 113 ) , and aims to tabulate and list the bees of the family Stelididae occurring in Nebraska, together with annotations concerning their distribution, comparative abundance and season of flight. As in the previous study, records and descriptions of specimens from outside Nebraska before the writer are included where these seem to add anything to our knowledge of the species concerned.

A Notable Botanical Career, Charles E. Bessey

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

I have before me the " Report of the Botanist" to the Regents of the University of the State of New York, bearing date of January 1, 1868, covering less than two pages, and signed by Charles H. Peck. There is internal evidence that his services began July 1, 1867, the writer reporting what he had accomplished in the half year since that date. A year later the " Report of the Botanist " covered about 80 pages and included a short general statement followed by (A) List of Species of Which Specimens Have Been Mounted; (B) Plants Collected; (C) …

Bulletin No. 130 - The Change In Weight Of Grain In Arid Regions During Storage, Frank S. Harris, George Thomas

In handling grain the question of the changes that may occur in weight after threshing is always before the dealer. If there is any considerable loss during storage his profits are consumed, while if there is a gain it is possible for him to work on a much closer margin.

Die kleinen schwarzen Halictus-Arten bereiten dem Systematiker viele Schwierigkeit und lassen sich nur bei ausreichendem Material und durch genaue Untersuchung sicher erkennen. Eine reichaltige Sammlung von Apiden, die ich von meinem Freunde A. Moschler in Rossitten zur Bestimmung bekam, entheilt eine grofsere Anzahl der kleinsten Halictus-Arten. Diese bieten mir die gunstige Gelegenheit, den H. minutissimus und die ihm am nachsten stehenden Arten klarzustellen.
