Pellet Seeding On Sagebrush Range, Gordon E. Gatherum

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Seeding deteriorated range lands efficiently and economically has become one of the most promising means of improving the agricultural economy of the western range states.

Although many successful methods of artificial revegetation have been developed by experience and through research, there is still a great need for refinement in techniques to insure better overall success and greater economy of operation. Improper methods often result in …

Relative Productive Value Of Land, Karl Harris, Vaughn E. Hansen

Reports

Location, markets, hard surface roads and other transportation facilities, churches, taxes, schools, and utilities are major factors in the monetary value of land, yet these things do not contribute to the land’s productivity.
