Bulletin No. 314 - Gains Made By Cattle On Summer Range In Northern Utah, L. A. Stoddart

UAES Bulletins

The Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, in 1934, began experimental studies on the grazing of beef steers on mountainous summer range lands. Although the direct purpose of this work was to find whether supplementing phosphorus in the diet of grazing steers would increase their gains, many incidental observations proved of great interest. Among the most significant were the distribution and extent of weight gains through the summer grazing season and the effects of various factors such as weather upon the gains, causing them to vary greatly from year to year.

Notes On The Trematode Subfamily Loimoinae (Monogenea), With A Description Of A New Genus, Harold W. Manter, Waldo L. Schmitt

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

The subfamily Loimoinae was named by Price (1936) for a peculiar monogenetic trematode, Loimos salpinggoides MacCal lum, 1917, from the gills of a dusky shark, Carcharias obscurus (Lesueur), at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. Price (1938) redescribed this trematode, correcting several errors made by MacCallum. Manter (1938) described Tricotyle scoliodoni from a shark, Scoliodon terrae-novae (Richardson), from Beaufort, North Carolina, USA. He noted some similarities between Tricotyle and Loimos. The redescription of Loimos by Price increased these similarities.

Bindweed Eradication In Nebraska, N. S. Hanson, F. D. Keim, D. L. Gross

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Bindweed, which is easily recognized by its creeping, entwining habit of growth, is Nebraska's most destructive weed because of its effect on crop plants. Its total annual cost to the agricultural industry of the state is several million dollars, which ultimately affects all those citizens who depend directly or indirectly upon income from agriculture.

How To Reseed Utah Range Lands, A. Perry Plummer, Richard M. Hurd, C. Kenneth Pearse

Aspen Bibliography

Additional low cost forage is urgently needed by Utah's range livestock industry. Seeding of depleted tracts in accordance with recently developed methods and principles will help supply this forage and is entirely feasible. Where the value of the increased forage will repay the cost of planting, careful reseeding of selected sites is fully justified.

The important part that reseeding can play in restoring ranges to their former capacity has been demonstrated. Although satisfactory results can be obtained on many sites during average or better years, much more study is needed to insure consistent success in abnormal years and to extend …

The Urogenital System Of The Male And Female English Sparrow, Passer Domesticus, Peter Paul Wisniewski

Bachelors’ Theses

The testes is a pair of oval organs posterior to the lungs and anterior to the kidneys. Each testes is attached by a mesentery to the anterior end of the kidney. An adrenal gland is located at the anterior portion of each testes. The vasa deferentia are slender convoluted tubules. Each arises from the median edge of the testes passes cauded along the ventral surface of the kidney, paralleling the ureter and enlarging slightly at the distal end to form a small seminal vesicle, which enters the urogenital region of the cloaca by a papilla. The male urodaeum is smaller …

Bulletin No. 303 - Utilization Of Irrigable Land In The Reservation Area Of Uinta Basin, Utah, George T. Blanch, Clyde E. Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Several years ago the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station began a project entitled "Study of agricultural resources in Utah and their utilization." This project contemplates conducting detailed soils, irrigation water, range and economic studies in all areas of Utah. To date these studies have been made for a portion of the state including the Uinta Basin. However, in order that the information so obtained can be more effectively used for public and private programs of operation, there is a need to combine and correlate the basic data.

The primary objective of the study reported herewith is to bring together and analyze …

Plant Diseases Common, Destructive, Preventable In South Dakota (Revised), W.F. Buckhholtz

Agricultural Experiment Station Plant Pathology Pamphlets (1942-1962)

Abundant agricultural production is a victory goal and in South Dakota is based on an abundance of feed, forage and cash field crops and an adequate home vegetable and fruit supply. On the other hand, soil conservation and the maintenance of South Dakota’s agricultural productivity depends on a practice of moderate rather than wholesale over-cropping of cultivated land. Shortages of labor and machinery place a definite limit on the amount of really good farming that can be done it South Dakota for the duration of the war. One of the ways to insure maximum crop production from a minimum of …

Food From The Sea: Fish And Shellfish Of New England, Rachel L. Carson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Millions of Americans are developing new wartime food habits, trying foods they once neglected, turning to alternates for long familiar products. For everyone of the ten fish or shellfish that make up mere than four-fifths of New England's catch there are seven species little known or utilized, many of which could provide tasty and nutritious foods. Turning to these under-utilized species will conserve food resources by lifting the burden of over-exploitation from such fishes as cod and haddock and will augment dwindling supplies of protein foods. Exploring the seafood markets for unfamiliar species rewards the housewife and her family with …

Student Agricultural Work Experiences In San Joaquin County, With Particular Reference To The Work Experiences Of Students Of Stockton And Lodi Public Schools In The Summer Of 1942, Frank L. Nash Jr.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As early as February, 1942, fears of an agricultural labor shortage began to be expressed in California. The Pacific Southwest Area Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association asserts in a statement of policy on Emergency Harvest Camps, “The California State Chamber of Commerce’s Central Coast Council’s Agricultural Committee points out that ‘the removal of enemy aliens from coastal areas, the absorption of migrant workers into defense industries, and increased government quotas for the production of many crops has created a serious agricultural problem.’ (News release, February 28, 1942).”

In San Joaquin County 5,000 Japanese were evacuated. Most of these …

Bulletin No. 304 - Phosphate Reserves Of Utah, J. Stewart Williams, Alvin M. Hanson

UAES Bulletins

To supplement the work reported by the senior author in Bulletin 290 of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, the writers have visited the phosphate outcrops in Weber, Morgan and Salt Lake Counties, as well as those in the Park City District of Summit County and others west of Midway in Wasatch County. These areas were found to contain considerable phosphatic shale of 25 to 35 percent grade, but no rock of 40 percent grade, the minimum quality included in the estimates in Bulletin 290. However, the data recorded for the sections visited are valuable in showing the leanness of these …

A Study Of Fluctuations In Coyote Numbers And Possible Causes, Sherwin B. Griswold

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This paper reports the findings of a study of coyote numbers, with particular reference to fluctuations, their periodicity, if any, and their possible causes. In order to answer these questions studies of bounty payments were made in four centrally located counties of Kansas. The counties selected for this study were Ellis, Russell, Edwards, and Harvey. The location of these counties is shown in figure I on page 5. A record of these bounty payments was secured by checking through the records in the office of the county clerk of these counties for all years in which records were on file.

Alfalfa Breeding, H. M. Tysdal, T. A. Kiesselbach, H. M. Westover

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Interest in the principles of alfalfa breeding has increased greatly with the growing "forage consciousness" of the country at large and the more specific interest developed through cooperation in the Alfalfa Improvement Conference. As is true of many other forage crops, information on the breeding behavior of alfalfa is meager. During the past few years, however, the genetics and principles of reproduction of this crop have come to be better understood and it is the purpose of this paper to bring together the available information pertaining to the improvement of alfalfa and to add certain suggestions with respect to future …

Inbreeding And Selectional Studies Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Marian Cecilia Dellers

Bachelors’ Theses

The eyeless gene of Drosophila, which causes in general a reduction of the size of the eye in the adult fly, does not seem to produce a constant effect. Thus among the offspring of one pair of flies many phenotypes will be found, flies with reduced eyes of various sizes and flies with one or both eyes completely missing. The purpose of this series of experiments was to investigate the genetical and environmental factors involved in the modification of the results produced by the eyeless gene and to determine their relative importance, especially through selective breeding in the direction of …

The Effect Of Sulfanilamide On The Spleen, Kidney, And Erythrocytes Of The Albino Rat, Paul M. Bergen

Bachelors’ Theses

Sulfanilamide today is recognized somewhat as a magical drug since it is being used in the cure of so many different diseases. Therefore it was my desire to experiment with it. The problem which the author has endeavored to solve has been, as the title implies, just what effect the drug has upon the blood, the cells of the spleen and the kidney. It has been my aim to verify or refute the findings of experimenters who have delved in the field previous to my experimentation, l and to attempt to give some explanation for the findings.
