Enemies Of Aspen, Clyde M. Christensen, Ralph L. Anderson, A. C. Hodson, Paul O. Rudolf

Aspen Bibliography

So long as aspen was considered primarily a weed species, there was little concern over the enemies which might injure or destroy it. Sometimes these enemies were actually considered "blessings in disguise. Now, however, that aspen not only is the most abundant "but also one of the most widely utilized tree species in the Lake States, there is increasing interest in anything that may affect its future supply. For that reason this brief summary of information on the enemies of aspen has been assembled.

Methods Of Fiber And Paraffin Recovery From Waste Waxed Paper, Donald L. Huyser

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Waxed paper is being used more and more every day in many ways. Its principle purposes are as wrappers or containers either to keep moisture out or in. Its uses vary from bread wrappers and drinking cups to metal parts wrappers.

For the most part, after the paper is used for its original purpose it is discarded and not salvaged like other waste paper. Also at the wax coating mills, the broke cannot be reworked with fresh stock. In most cases it is taken out and burned - not only being a total waste of stock but also a waste …

Farm Building Plans, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Buildings are a necessary part of each farm unit. They are used to provide shelter and facilities for farm family living, to house livestock, for storage and processing of food and feed, and for utility storage or service. Most farm buildings are designed to be used for many years. A carefully planned, well-located building carefully adapted to the use for which it is intended, is a profitable investment and a source of satisfaction. On the other hand, a poorly planned and improperly built structure may prove both costly and unsatisfactory. Every building on the farm represents a longtime investment and …

Studies On The Reactivating Sclerotium Of Physarella Oblong Morgan With Special Reference To The Nucleus, William Thomas Allman

Master's Theses

The Myxomycetes, because of their naked, mobile mass of protoplasm have served biologists and chemists as material for the study of the char­acteristics of protoplasm. The typical life his­ tory of such an organism may be summarized as follows: The vegetative phase in the life history consists of a naked mass of protoplasm, to which Oienkowski (9) applied the name "plasmodium". This plasmodium creeps by reversible streaming over and throughout the substratum, deriving its food from various constituents of decaying vegetable matter which serve as its normal substrate. Upon reaching a state of maturity and under certain environmental conditions, the …

Optimization Of Parameters For Soft-Nip Calendering Of Uncoated Paper, Jung-Kyu Yang

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The major reason for calendering is to impart both smoothness and gloss on paper. Smoothness, which is the degree of flatness of the surface, and gloss, which is a measurement of light reflectance, are unrelated parameters. However, both smoothness and gloss are related to printing process. Strength properties affect the printing machine runability. In general, calendering reduces strength properties of the paper. The degree of finish obtained in a soft-nip calendering depends on characteristics of the paper, such as moisture content and type of filling materials. The purpose of this study is to determine the best conditions for soft-nip calender …

Leaflet No 1000 - Rate Of Milking With Machines - Further Results From Western Australian Herds, R. A. Bettenay

Bulletins 1 - 2999

IN an earlier article by this Department (Vol. XXVI No. 2 PP. 99-104) some introductory remarks were made on a study being conducted on the rate of milking by machine, and preliminary findings were recorded. The conclusion was reached that the rate of milking on most farms was too slow, it being considered that in the vicinity of five minutes per cow should be sufficient under machine milking and that, if the teat cups were left on for a longer period than this, damage to the udder was likely to follow.

Egg Coolers For Better Eggs, Boyd J. Bonzer, Louis Lubinus

SDSU Extension Circulars

A recent study by the Research and Marketing administration showed that. South Dakota farmers are marketing only about 40 percent top quality eggs at the produce stations or first buyers. South Dakota is an egg exporting state and has to depend on Eastern and West Coast markets to buy three of every four eggs it produces. The consumers on these export markets are demanding a high quality egg, which leads to a great deal of discrimination against the low quality Midwestern eggs. Nearly all eggs are of top quality when they are laid. A very high percentage of the eggs …

Aspen For Excelsior, Hereford Garland

Aspen Bibliography

The use of aspen for the manufacture of excelsior is well established in the Lake States. The properties of the wood make it suitable for this general use, and there are adequate supplies available for increased productive capacity. The process of manufacturing excelsior is relatively uncomplicated, and the production equipment is simple and relatively low in cost. That the industry is not more extensive is obviously due to limitations in markets for excelsior. Expansion of the industry depends primarily upon the development of new uses and new products having excelsior as a base.

An Evaluation Of Trout Stocking In The Logan River Drainage, Nels Andrew Thoreson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

One of the more important forms of recreation in Utah is fishing. Each year since the end of World War II more than 100,000 resident and 4,000 non-resident fishermen have taken to the streams and lakes of this state. They spend approximately $2,200,000 each year in the quest of fish, mostly trout. In 1916, 25,473 licenses were sold, in 1937 the number of licenses had risen to 41,200, in 1945 the sales amounted to 104,000 and in 1947 had increased to nearly 131,000. Because of the increased number of fishermen each year, the desirability of greater numbers of legal-sized fish …
