Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook Jan 1961

Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

IN December, 1952, an article was published in this Journal drawing attention to the potential value of white flowered tree lucerne (Cytisus prolifer) as a source of nutritious green fodder during the dry summer months.

Figures were quoted to show that heavy yields could be obtained year after year with very little effort, and no outlay other than for fertiliser.

The advantages to be gained from the cultivation of this tree were made very apparent and many farmers set out to grow the shrub.


A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown Dec 1960

A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Psilocybe mutans sp. nov. had ceased fruiting consistently in artificial culture several years prior to the initiation of this study. In the couse of this study fruiting bodies were produced on a number of different substrates. All cultures were inoculated by mycelial transfer or by spraying with a suspension of pre-germinated spores. All cultrues were incubated for one to two weeks in a constant-temperature room at 70°F. on a shelf fourteen inches below a fluorescent lighting fixture. Lighting was continuous with an intensity at shelf level of approximately 3,000 foot-candles. Fruiting on any particular substrate was improved if the substrate …

Mycorrhizae Of Ponderosa Pine In Nebraska Grassland Soils, R. W. Goss Sep 1960

Mycorrhizae Of Ponderosa Pine In Nebraska Grassland Soils, R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

While the genus Pinus has been the subject of extensive mycorrhizal studies there are only a few scattered references to western yellow pine, P. ponderosa, and no detailed descriptive literature on the mycorrhizae of this species. P. ponderosa is indigenous to Nebraska and the one species most extensively grown in local nurseries for windbreaks and farm plantings. Similarly, there is little information on mycorrhizae in the Great Plains between the forested regions of the Mississippi River states and the Rocky Mountains. Because this predominantly grassland area is sparse in natural tree growth the individual tree as an ornamental or …

Studies In Experimental Evolution, William Sidney Boyle May 1960

Studies In Experimental Evolution, William Sidney Boyle

Faculty Honor Lectures

The Principle of organic evolution is the most fundamental one yet discovered in the sciences concerned with the nature and origin of living things. During the one hundred years which have elapsed since Darwin's explanation of the mechanisms of evolution a great deal has been learned to supplement his theory. Nevertheless, students of evolution universally acknowledge the significance of his profound contributions. The importance of natural selection as a creative force in evolution is inescapable.

The present discussion is chiefly concerned with techniques which the writer has used to accelerate, or at least to manipulate, the evolutionary processes. It may …


Effects Of Beta Rays, Gamma Rays, And Hydrochloric Acid On Tubers Of Jerusalem Artichoke, Subhi Al-Sammarai May 1960

Effects Of Beta Rays, Gamma Rays, And Hydrochloric Acid On Tubers Of Jerusalem Artichoke, Subhi Al-Sammarai

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Levulose (D-fructose, fruit sugar), C6H12O6 is a white crystalline ketohexose. This sugar has distinctive properties which make it of commercial interest. It is more costly than ordinary table sugar (sucrose). Levulose is characterized by a high degree of sweetness (6), great solubility (20), and medical usefulness when administered intravenously. Joslin (21) and Root and Baker (32) found levulose to be of great value in the treatment of diabetes. According to Daniel (8), it is assimilated and oxidized more quickly than sucrose, supplying the necessary energy requirements for the human system. Additional uses of levulose have …

The Inhibitory Effects Of Tarweed Upon The Germination And Growth Of Seedlings, Glenn F. Carnahan May 1960

The Inhibitory Effects Of Tarweed Upon The Germination And Growth Of Seedlings, Glenn F. Carnahan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Extensive areas of potentially productive but depleted range land in the United States are occupied by a weed commonly known aa cluster tarweed (Madia glomerata). Moat attempts at seeding these areas to useful forage plants have resulted in failure. Many of these failures have been attributed to the vigorous competitive growth of tarweed plants. More recent observations of seedings in tarweed areas and laboratory work at the University of Utah indicate that tarweed is not only a strong competitor but may also produce substances which inhibit the germination and growth of other species of plants.


The Effect Of Feeding Various Levels Of Fluoride To Dairy Cattle On Their Pepsin Activity, Hassan Sabeti-Rahmati May 1960

The Effect Of Feeding Various Levels Of Fluoride To Dairy Cattle On Their Pepsin Activity, Hassan Sabeti-Rahmati

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In certain industrial areas fluorides are present in various amounts in the atmosphere. These fluorides are liberated by industrial processes at high temperature in treatment of materials containing fluoride, either as a natural impurity, or as added material for technical purposes. Equipment and procedures have been installed in many plants to reduce the output of fluorides significantly, yet forage and hay grown near the plants may contain elevated amounts of fluorides. The feeding of such material to young livestock for many months may cause fluorosis or chronic fluoride poisoning. Some springs contain a high concentration of fluorides and the continuous …


Observations On The Life History Of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus (Rafinesque) In Utah Lake, Utah, Robert E. Lawler May 1960

Observations On The Life History Of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus (Rafinesque) In Utah Lake, Utah, Robert E. Lawler

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), was first introduced into Utah Lake in the summer of 1911, and has since been stocked in the lake on numerous occasions. It has only been in the last few years that the channel catfish has become an important game fish in Utah. As the value of the channel catfish, as a game fish, increased, it has become increasingly important to the state to maintain this species for present and future generations. This study was initiated in 1958 and completed in 1960, and was financed by the Utah State Department of Fish and Game. …

The Biology Of A Colonial Hydroid, Chandler Montgomery Fulton Jan 1960

The Biology Of A Colonial Hydroid, Chandler Montgomery Fulton

Student Theses and Dissertations

Simple invertebrate metazoa offer many potentialities for study of growth and differentiation - potentialities which have not been realized because the organisms usually have been difficult to handle in the laboratory. A simple coelenterate, the brackish-water colonial hydroid Cordylophora lacustris, was selected for the present work, and was domesticated so that it could be grown and manipulated under controlled laboratory conditions. Methods have been developed permitting exponential increase in hydranth number with a doubling time of about three days. Five ions — Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Cl- — have been found …
