Farm Business Management Data And Practices In South Dakota: 1956 Annual Report, Charles H. Benrud, Roland Brunsma

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

This project, "Farm Business Management Data and Practices", was set up to begin in 1955, with farmers and ranchers in the seven "types-of-farming areas" in South Dakota keeping records on receipts, expenses, inventories, and other items and having their books analyzed by the Agricultural Experiment Station Economics Department at the end of the year. Only a few participated the first year, but in 1956 a total of 57 cooperators turned in record books for analysis. The purpose of this project if to obtain data on costs, returns, and organization on farms and ranches of various types in the different types-of-farming …

An Ecological Study Of The Bottom Fauna Of Bear Lake Idaho And Utah, Earl W. Smart

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In evaluating the potential ability of a lake to produce fish, probably no single standard is so important as an estimate of the amount of bottom fauna (Deevey and Bishop, 1942).

The study of the bottom fauna of Bear Lake was a part of the investigation of its limnology and fisheries, begun in 1952. This study was sponsored through federal monies made available through the Dingle-Johnson Act. The primary purpose of the study was to examine all the evidence in estimating the fish producing capacity of the lake. Bear Lake is the second largest fresh water lake in Utah but …

Learning Through Judging For 4-H Home Economics Club Members, Marie Curry, Ima Crisman

SDSU Extension Circulars

Judging is an every-day activity. A person judges every time a choice is made whether it is food, clothing, home furnishings, or entertainment. In 4-H club work, judging is simply a matter of selecting one article or product over another because of certain qualities. In order that club girls may learn to choose wisely, they need practice in making comparisons and recognizing excellent qualities.

Chlorophyll And Productivity In A Mountain River, William J. Mcconnell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigation of primary production in streams and rivers has lagged behind similar investigations in marine and lacustrine environments. Recently, however, Odum (1956) has demonstrated methods that allow the estimation of productivity of most moving waters. For reasons discussed later in this paper, Odum's method is not satisfactory for shallow, very rapid rivers as typified by Logan River. The present investigation then was primarily an exploration of a method possibly applicable to measurement of productivity in shallow rapid rivers.

Investigations of phases of the ecology and distribution of the main contributors to primary production, the benthic algae, was a necessary corollary …

The Phytoplankton Of The Logan River, Utah, A Mountain Stream, William J. Clark

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The voluminous limnological literature contains few studies of mountain streams. Though there are a few papers on the benthic algae (see Budde 1928, Raabe 1951) only Pennak (1943) reports year-round quantitative data on the phytoplankton. Brinley (1950) gives some phytoplankton information in a summer study of streams in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Quality Evaluation Of Deep-Fat Fried Peas, Wattana Sathiraswasti

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Dehydration is perhaps the oldest method of preserving fruits and vegetables. However, it is still an important method of preservation. During World War II, efforts were geared to investigate the possibilities of such newer dehydrated foods as powdered eggs, tomatoes, and potato granules. Since then many new products are flooding the market every year. The use of dehydrated products has increased primarily because they usually require less space and have longer shelf life, and at the same time they have much more concentrated nutritive value than fresh, canned, or frozen foods. Hence, they can easily be adopted for military rations. …

A Study Of Cheese Spreads And Dips, Grant M. Steed

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Each year in the State of Utah, thousands of pounds of a number of varieties of bulk and packaged cheese are returned to the manufacturing plants from the stores and other distribution points. The main reasons are: broken wrapper or rind, crushed or otherwise mutilated package, and mold development.

At the present time much of this cheese is shipped out of the state for processing. The remainder is sold at drastically reduced prices. If this unmarketable returned cheese were changed in form with good consumer acceptance the industry would experience a real savings.

The Effect Of Variety, Harvest Time, And Brine Separation On Thiamine, Riboflavin, And Niacin Contents Of Green Lima Beans, Prasertsri Dee-Ananta

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The increasing importance of the lima beans as a substantial cash crop for the growers or farmers and as a quality food for the consumer has initiated many investigations directed towards improving its quality as a vegetable crop. Lima beans are well suited for processing; hence, studies of the quality of different varieties in relation to time of harvest have been made. Host processors are in agreement that the beans attain maximum quality before they are fully mature. After that, the yield and size increase whereas the quality decreases.

The Development Of A Dietary Manual For The Small Hospital, Blanche Z. Madsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An increased amount of emphasis is constantly being placed on the standardization of diets where group feeding is involved. Especially is this true in the hospital where food is an essential part of the medical treatment of the patient. The directing personnel responsible for the diets for any hospital situation where a dietitian is employed, are the doctors who prescribe the diet orders and the dietitian who interprets them.

Morphological, Chemical, Histological, And Sensory Quality Changes In Gamma Irradiated Carrots And Potatoes, Keith Andrew Madsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Through the ages, people have been confronted with the problem of storing food after the harvest season for consumption during the winter months. Foods have been preserved by dehydration, canning, and refrigeration. However, people usually prefer fresh vegetables become unfit for human consumption as a result of sprouting and breakdown in storage.

Some chemicals have been used with various degrees of success in preventing sprouting of certain vegetables. The chemicals were applied as a pre-harvest foliar spray or directly on the tubers or on the roots.

In 1954, a law was passed by the United States Congress authorizing the release …

The Natural Reproduction Of The Cutthroat Trout, Salmo Clarki Richardson, In Strawberry Reservoir, Utah, William S. Platts

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Strawberry Reservoir, Utah is an 8,000 acre lake at the elevation of 7,550 feet; it has a maximum depth of 52 feet and an average depth of 18 feet. The supply of cutthroat trout eggs used to replenish and distribute this trout throughout the state are taken from two spawning traps located on reservoir tributaries. Because it has not proven economical to raise cutthroat to a larger size than newly hatched fry, it is at this stage they are planted. Because of competition, predation, and lack of space the planting back of fry to maintain the fishery and spawning run …

Cost Of Marketing Utah Lambs At Alternative Markets, Norman E. Wright

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Importance of lamb marketings

The production and marketing of lambs is important in Utah's economy. In 1956, Utah ranked fifth in the United States in lambs produced and saved, with 1,038,000 head produced and 840,000 marketed for consumption, table 1. Cash receipts from the lamb marketings during the year amounted to over 10 million dollars, and in addition, the state's economy benefited through revenues, employment, and raw materials which were provided by the lamb industry.

Marketing decisions

Lamb producers and handlers are faced with many decisions in marketing their lambs. They not only must decide when and where to sell, …

Artificial Respiration During The Apnea Of Cerebral Trauma, Thorvald W. Christiansen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Cerebral concussion often results in profound respiratory depression. The earlier workers in the field of experimental concussion concluded that artificial respiration could be a life preserving procedure in 4 many instances. More recently, however, it has been held that this form of resuscitation is of little or no value.

Because of this conflict in viewpoint and inasmuch as the latter interpretation was made as a result of studies that were not primarily directed towards assessing the worth of artificial respiration during the apnea of experimentally induced concussion, this study was planned with the hope of resolving the differences of opinion. …

The Relationship Between The Systemic Action Of Various Carbohydrates And The Development Of Subsequent Dental Caries, Pat O. O'Day

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Previous work with rats, hamsters and monkeys has shown a direct relationship between refined diets high in carbohydrates and caries susceptibility. Adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals have been shown to be necessary for proper tooth development and resistance to decay. The glycoprotein content of hamster teeth raised on a non-cariogenic Purina ration was reported to be lower than the amount found in the teeth of animals raised on a high sugar cariogenic diet.

In order to determine the caries susceptibility produced in Albino rats by different common carbohydrates, an artificial feeding technique was utilized in which the amount and …

Linkage Relationships Of Located And Unlocated Genetic Testers In Certain Normal And Translocation Stocks Of Barley, William Ralph Andersen

An Evaluation Of The Salt Tolerance Of Particular Varieties, Strains, And Selections Of Three Grasses And Two Legumes, Farrel John Olsen Jr

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In arid and semiarid areas in the Western United States, soluble salts tend to accumulate in the soil in amounts harmful to crop production. A considerable portion of this land cannot be reclaimed due to the poor quality of permeability of the soil. Therefore, the wise selection of crops that will produce satisfactory yields on these soils in necessary.

The salt tolerance of many crop plants has been investigated; however, more information is needed on the relative salt tolerance of varieties, strains, and selections. Such information will permit the selection and development of varieties and strains of crop plants which …
