The Effect Of Avitaminosis E On The Incorporation Of 35S-Sulfate By Rat Tissue Sulfolipids, Brenda Pearl Todd
Masters Theses
The relationship between the sulfation of brain and liver sulfolipids was investigated by comparing the fixation of a test dose of 35S-sulfate by the sulfolipid fractions of brain and liver from rats fed vitamin E-deficient and -sufficient diets. Brain and liver tissue was divided into particulate and soluble fractions and the sulfolipid fraction extracted from each with chloroform-methanol. Following purification of the sulfolipid fractions by dialysis, the radioactivity in each fraction was determined by liquid scintillation.
The data obtained showed a statistically significant decrease in 35S-sulfate uptake by the brain particulate sulfolipid in those animals fed a vitamin …

Nutrition During Pregnancy, Lactation And Infancy, Minodokht Froozani
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In many countries in South and East Asia, most diets are defective in quality, even when there is not a severe shortage of food. They do. not provide an adequate quantity of essential nutrients. One of the most severe deficiencies is in good quality protein. The solution to this problem is to produce and provide the right kinds of foods and to establish national food production policies which should make it possible to plan a better balanced diet based on sound nutritional principles and modern knowledge of nutritional requirements. Some degree of undernutrition, over-nutrition, or malnutrition occurs in most European …

Faculty Honor Lectures
On the mountains, in the valleys, on the foothills and on the deserts of the Intermountain West grow millions of tons of vegetation. The chemical energy stored bv these plants is a potential source of useful energy for man. Some of the plant material has been used for fuel, other has been used as a source of lumber, chemicals, and paper, but the major part of this vast reservO'ir is useful to man because it is utilized by livestock. This native vegetation is grazed by livestock and they convert the plant energy to' high quality, desirable food energy for man.

W.A. Dairying : Progress In 42 Years, Maurice C. Cullity
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
From hardship and elementary standards, West Australian dairying has developed into a consolidated industry with larger herds, increased output and high quality production.
The changes he has seen are reviewed by Mr. M. Cullity who retired last month from the position of Chief of the Division of Dairying, after 42 years of service to the industry.
THE history of Western Australia's dairying industry has been a story of struggle against hardship, marketing problems and adverse criticism.
In spite of this the industry has steadily grown and greatly improved its efficiency.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FARMING the light lands of the West Midland area would be impossible without fertilisers.
Most light land areas are inherently very low in phosphate and also require nitrogen.
The nitrogen can come from fertiliser for cereal crops, or can be built up by growing appropriate legume pasture plants such as clovers and lupins.

Sources Of Nitrogen For Cereals : Their Characteristics And Costs, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Generally similar results may be expected from all the sources of nitrogen available for cereal growing.
The unit nitrogen price and the convenience of use of each fertiliser in the particular situation should be taken into account in deciding which fertiliser to use.
THE first point to consider when deciding which nitrogen fertiliser to use for wheat growing is the effectiveness of the nitrogen source in increasing crop yield. Second, the cost per unit of nitrogen must be considered.
The convenience of using a particular source in a particular situation is also important and greater convenience may offset some cost …

Rates Of Superphosphate For Cereal Grain Production In The Under 20 Inch Rainfall Areas, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EVERY year farmers use large quantities of superphosphate with cereal crops to overcome the inherent phosphate deficiency of West Australian soils.
The increase in the average rate used by farmers reflects the increasing amount of new land being cropped.
Good seasons and favourable economic conditions may also have influenced super rates.

Trials With Urea And Anhydrous Ammonia For Wheat Growing, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE recent subsidy on nitrogenous fertilisers has greatly reduced their price to farmers. This, and farmers' increasing awareness of the benefits of application of nitrogen to cereals, has led to a substantial increase in the use of these fertilisers.
Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Production, M G. Mason
Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Production, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE greatest responses to nitrogenous fertilisers can be expected in areas with a relatively long growing season.
In such areas light soils with a low nitrogen status provide the best prospects for addition of nitrogen—provided adequate moisture is available.

Winter Beef Production Trial : Wongan Hills Research Station, D J. Barker, H. G. Cariss
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN 14-inch rainfall districts most rainfall occurs between May and October. It is d i f f i cult to keep beef animals fattening on summer dry pastures but such areas do have a ready supply of locally grown cereals.
Using these materials as the basis of a supplement it is possible to market prime baby-beef by June-July.
The higher prices obtained for this "winter" beef more than offset the cost of supplementary feed.
