A New Species Of Tradescantia (Commelinaceae) From South Texas, Robert P. Celarier

Field and Laboratory

This taxon first came to the attention of the author as the result of a collection of two plants from the Edwards Plateau by C. M. Rowell. Both of these plants died shortly after being transplanted, due to the long exposure they had received, but not before a few morphological notes had been taken. Later, in the spring of 1950, I encountered a small population in the Edwards Plateau of Texas between Burnet and Llano, along the roadside of State Highway 29 near Buchanan Dam. This was approximately fifty miles from the locality of the collection made by Rowell. The …

Determination Of Copper In Lead And Lead Base Alloys, Mcgee A. Duff, Charles T. Kenner

Field and Laboratory

This work was undertaken in an effort to develop a rapid method for the determination of copper in the range of 0.01 to 0.06% in lead alloys and in the range of 0.001 to 0.005% in lead. A visual and a photometric method are suggested, based on the color developed by copper in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Iron interferes with the determination, but this interference is reduced by use of an aluminum file in the visual method, and is corrected for in the photometric method by determination of the Lron as the thiocyanate. The visual method is very rapid, is accurate …

A Review Of Pertinent Literature On The Thyroid Of Urodela, With Special Reference To Necturus, Joseph P. Harris Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The discovery by Gudernatsch (53) of the role of the thyroid in the control of metamorphosis in amphibia quickened interest in this field, with the result that an overwhelming number of papers has appeared since 1912 on the thyroid gland and its functions in amphibia and other cold-blooded vertebrates. Much of the literature has been reviewed elsewhere (75), and a complete analysis of all the publications will not be attempted here. The present review concerns, primarily, those papers dealing with the thyroid gland of Necturus; as also, secondarily, some papers treating of other animals, which were important in the development …

Cc56-139 Poultry Profit Pointers: Marketing Eggs, Elvin C. Schulte

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The egg represents the marketable, finished produce from the laying flock. Poultry raisers should be familiar with eggs and do everything possible to maintain egg quality. Eggs are a valuable human food because they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Like other important protein foods, eggs should be properly handled to protect their quality.

This campaign circular discusses what to look for in the size eggs and how to handle them before taking them market.

Cc56-137 Poultry Profit Pointers: Selection And Housing Pullets, Elvin C. Schulte

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This campaign circular contains pointers on how the producer can raise the best flock for profit. It discusses what to look for in the selection of the laying flock; how to handle the pullets; what is required in housing the flock; feeding the flock; ventilating and watering the flock; the best type of nests and roosts; and placing litter.

L-Serylglycylglycine / By Erich Baer, Jonas Maurukas, And Donald D. Clarke, Erich Baer, Jonas Maurukas, Donald Dudley Clarke Phd

Bulletin No. 387 - Evaluation Of Sprinkler Irrigation Systems In Northern Utah, Jay M. Bagley, Wayne D. Criddle

UAES Bulletins

Following the availability of lightweight aluminum tubing in quantity, irrigation by sprinkling has expanded rapidly in the United States as well as other areas of the world. Quick couplers, better pumps, and more dependable power units and power supplies have also contributed to the increased use of sprinkler irrigation. Future land developments will probably be more favorable to sprinkler irrigation since many of the areas best suited for surface irrigation have already been developed. Sprinkler irrigation can be an efficient way of applying water, and as water supply becomes more and more a limiting factor, more efficient methods for its …

Bulletin No. 383 - Cooperative Nutritional Status Studies In The Western Region: I. Nutrient Intake, Ethelwyn B. Wilcox, Helen L. Gillum, Margaret M. Hard

UAES Bulletins

In 1947, a concerted study of the nutritional status of selected population groups was initiated in the western region of the United States. Previous dietary surveys had indicated that substantial portions of the country's population were consuming lower than recommended levels of essential nutrients. Deficiency diseases that may have nutritional background, such as dental caries, anemia, and rickets, existed. Investigators reported subclinical signs of malnutrition in several areas. Few studies had been made in the West, although reports of high incidence of dental caries and suspected undernutrition had come from several western states. The regional committee thought it evident that …

Bulletin No. 384 - Virus And Viruslike Diseases Of Stone Fruits In Utah: A Handbook For Their Identification And Control, B. L. Richards, L. C. Cochran

UAES Bulletins

Intensive research over the last 20 years has shown that many of the previously unexplained and seemingly mysterious disorders of stone fruit trees in Utah are infectious diseases caused by viruses. Others were shown to be the result of noninfectious genetic abnormalities or of adverse chemical and physical factors in the environment of the plant. The purpose of this handbook is to help orchardists and others recognize these diseases and disorders and understand better their etiology or cause. The handbook will also bring together basic information which will aid in their control.

Cc143 Poultry Profit Pointers: Choosing Your Baby Chicks, Elvin C. Schulte

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The successful poultryman is very careful in buying chicks, and in selecting birds for his breeding or laying flock. Well-bred stock will do quite well even when conditions are poor, but poor stock will not pay under the best conditions.

This campaign circular discusses what to look for when purchasing chicks for your farm. This includes disease-free chicks, and the types and breeds. It also discusses how many to start with, when to start, keeping records, how to feed them, and preparing the brooder house for the arrival of new chicks.

This campaign circular discusses the selection, housing, equipment needed, water, feeding, health maintenance, ventilation, litter, lights, culling, record keeping, and marketing for raising poultry.
