Bulletin No. 336 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report, 1946-1948, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

During the past biennium there has been a general expansion in the research program of the Agricultural Experiment Station. This was made possible through increased state legislative appropriation and through federal funds made available by the Agricultural Research and Marketing Act which passed Congress in August 1946, although funds were not available until August 1947. Grants-in-aid by state and private agencies have also made other research possible.

Bulletin No. 335 - Reclamation Of Saline-Alkali Soils By Leaching: Delta Area, Utah, R. C. Reeve, L. E. Allison, D. F. Peterson Jr.

UAES Bulletins

Salinity is a problem of irrigation agriculture and is recognized as a serious threat to crop production in the Western States. All water used for irrigation, whether diverted from surface stream or pumped from wells, contains dissolved salts in amounts varying from a few hundred pounds to several tons per acre-foot (8,23). Salts accumulating in the root zone of the soil, as water is removed by crop and by surface evaporation eventually, may restrict crop yields. Extensive areas of land in the Western States, which were at one time productive under irrigation, have been abandoned because of the development of …

Cribbing Corn To Meet Credit Commodity Corporation Loan Requirements, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

How Good a Crib Is Needed To Get a Com Loan? Corn stored in any crib which meets the requirements of floors, roofs and width for the county in which it is stored; will be approved for commodity credit loan at 90% of parity or approximately $1.34 to $1.40 a bushel. (see map on page 1.) However no matter how good the crib is, if the corn at the time it is delivered to the Commodity Credit Corporation, does not grade Number 3 or better, it will be the farmer's loss. The same is true of purchase agreements. When delivery …

Distribution Of The Herpetofauna Of Kentucky., Symoine Kamin Laufe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although the herpetofauna of Kentucky is extensive and varied. it has received much less attention than that of most other states. Many herpetologists have reported on various phases of the state's amphibians and reptiles, but for the most part these reports are discrete, either pertaining to a collection, or a generic or specific study. Hence, there is no single adequate work which aptly describes the herpetology of Kentucky as a whole. When one realizes the keystone position of Kentucky in relation to northern and southern forms, the need of a zoogeographical summary of the state becomes even more apparent. Therefore, …

Logging Methods And Peeling Of Aspen, T. Schantz-Hansen

Aspen Bibliography

The logging of forest products is influenced by many factors, including the size of the trees, density of the stand, the soundness of the trees, size of the area logged, topography and soil, weather conditions, the degree of utilization, the skill of the logger and the equipment used, the distance from market, etc. Each of these factors influences not only the method of logging but also the costs. The purpose of this paper is not to cover in detail the effect of each of these variations, but to deal with some of the major problems typical to logging aspen. Well …

Wild Potato Collecting In Mexico, Donovan S. Correll

Annual Report: 1948

Cherry County (Nebraska) Extension: Historical Documents

Educational program of extension work was supported entirely from County Tax funds. The Budget for the coming year was raised to $3,475 from last years budget of $2975. This was very much appreciated, as it will allow a more complete extension service program. This is $25.00 under the $3500 calling allowed by the new bill L. B. 405

The annual meeting was attended by 164 people. The program which was held in the new 4-H building and at the experimental Station, consisted of a business session, four talks on current livestock problems, and a morning and afternoon session of witnessing …

A Preliminary Study Of A Physical Basis Of Bird Navigation, Henry L. Yeagley

Papers in Ornithology

The bird navigation theory as presented implies an organ or organs in the bird's physiology which are sensitive to the effect of its motion through the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field and to the effort exerted to overcome the coriolis force, due to the earth's rotation. Both these influences involve a set of lines which together form a navigational gridwork. By correlating its instantaneous land speed with the two above effects, a bird can fly to its home which is a unique point in this gridwork, or to related companion points existing in the gridwork at positions other …

Seasoning Of Aspen, Harvey H. Smith

Aspen Bibliography

Aspen is nor; the major forest type in the Lake States, and extensive stands are reaching maturity. Increasing quantities are being cut, and much is nor; being put to new and more exacting uses that require better air - seasoning and kiln-drying practices. The recent favorable market for green aspen lumber appears to be falling off, and the time may soon come when operators are no longer able to move green aspen. Such a change can be met by manufacturing better-quality aspen lumber and by carefully seasoning it to the desired moisture content to make it more acceptable. This report …

Aspen For Pulp And Paper, E. R. Schafer

Aspen Bibliography

Although the use of hardwoods for pulp and paper manufacture has increased considerably during recent years in the Lake States, the pulpwood consumed in this region consists largely of softwood species of which about one quarter is obtained from foreign sources. The wood resource, on the other hand, is comprised to a large extent of hardwoods, predominantly aspen, with the maples, oaks, and several other species available in lesser amounts. The present stand of aspen in the Lake States is estimated at nearly 20 million acres with a total volume of merchantable timber of about 32 1/2 million cords. The …

Aspen For Cabin Logs, Albert W. Sump

Aspen Bibliography

A plentiful supply of pine and cedar logs provided the early settlers of this country with a cheap and durable material for the construction of their homes and farm buildings. Only the axe and the ingenuity of the pioneer were needed to erect a shelter against the elements of nature. Early in the 19th century, the circular saw came into use resulting in a change in building construction. The pine stands in New England and in the Lake States, considered inexhaustible in the 19th century, were converted to lumber to construct buildings necessary for the rapid development of the country. …

Aspen For Core Stock, Arlie W. Toole

Aspen Bibliography

During recent years, aspen has been used in the Lake States region for a number of products. The war years in particular showed a marked increase in the use of aspen for pulpwood, box lumber, and many other wood products. The annual cut of aspen lumber in the region increased from approximately 67 million board feet in 1941 to 152 million board feet in 1946. In spite of this increased use, aspen still remains the only major tree species in the Lake States in which annual growth exceeds annual drain. It represents the major forest resource in this region that …

Mechanical Properties Of Aspen, R. P. A. Johnson

Aspen Bibliography

The clear wood of aspen has inherent properties of merit. Several of these properties are familiar to a large proportion of the general public, for some of the common types of matches are made of this wood. The requirements of wood for matches are exacting in that the wood must combine straightness of grain, ease of splitting, ease of working, and toughness To meet such rigid requirements, a wood must be suitable for other uses as well. The fact that aspen is not used more widely for other purposes lies not in the wood itself but in other factors, such …

Brief Short-Title List Of Published Works On The History Of Science, Samuel W. Geiser, Bessie T. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

The present brief list was compiled primarily for the use of students in a course on the History of Science offered by the senior author at Southern Methodist University. It is far from complete: scholars conversant with the field will note omission of works they consider of primary importance, and the inclusion of others, to them of secondary interest. We are not sure that in every case our omissions and inclusions are fully defensible; but it is believed that this bibliography includes a very large proportion of the best works on the subject in hand.

Plan Of Development For Valley Gravity Project, Julius A. Krug, Michael W. Straus, Wesley R. Nelson

Lower Rio Grande Valley Curated Material

"The Valley Gravity Project Plan has been formulated to furnish an adequate and dependable irrigation water supply for fertile and productive area in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, It would also provide drainage works, which would remove the threat of destruction of the economy of the area due to effects of a high water table and salt accumulations. The project works would permit generation of the maximum practicable amount of electrical energy which otherwise would be required to operate irrigation pumping plants. Other incidental benefits include fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and flood control."

Farm Fishponds, Verne E. Davison

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

An important part of soil and moisture conservation is making the best use of every acre on the farm. Where a suitable site for a farm pond exists, no better use can be made of such land than to develop it for the production of fish for the farm family. The recreation the pond affords adds much to the pleasure of rural life.

Thousands of farms have good pond sites. Properly developed and managed ponds may provide both food and pleasure to more than a million farm people.

This bulletin tells how to have good ponds. It explains how to …
