Potatoes, John Noonan

SDSU Extension Circulars

Potatoes, a low cost energy food, were first mentioned in the chronicles of the Spanish conquerors of Peru around the year 1586. These Spanish sailors took the tubers to Spain and gradually they were . grown all over Europe. They were not popular at first, but by the 18th century became a staple part of European diet. Now, potatoes are one of the most important food crops of Europe, and they are grown in nearly every country in the world. In former years, potatoes were grown on most farms in South Dakota and by many small growers, but in the …

Bulletin No. 360 - The Effects Of Fertilizer And Moisture On The Growth And Yield Of Sweet Corn, H. B. Peterson, J. C. Ballard

UAES Bulletins

Sweet corn is becoming an important cash crop in many of the irrigated valleys of the Intermountain West. There are a number of factors that influence the yield of this crop, two of which are soil fertility and moisture. A number of investigations have been conducted where the effects of fertilizer have been measured, and the results of these investigations have been highly variable. In general, however, lack of nitrogen has been a major factor limiting yield.

Bulletin No. 358 - The Rainbow Trout In Relation To The Other Fish In Fish Lake, William F. Sigler

UAES Bulletins

The coast rainbow Salmo gairdnerii irideus Gibbons is not indigenous to Utah. Its original range is Pacific North America from Alaska to Mexico. The coast rainbow was first introduced into Utah in 1883 from McCloud River, California.

The rainbow is used more extensively for artificial propagation than any other trout in North America, both for sport fishing and as a commercial food fish. Its natural habitat is big lakes and rivers; it can adapt itself to relatively small ponds, but it does not reproduce in these ponds.

Limnological and fishery investigations on Fish Lake were initiated in 1922 and have …

Bulletin No. 359 - Broiler Production In Utah: An Economic Analysis, Earnest M. Morrison, Thomas I. Gunn

UAES Bulletins

The production of broilers in Utah has become increasingly important in the last few years. Data are not available prior to 1950 but in that year the gross income from the production of broilers was $629,000. In 1951 almost one and a half million broilers were produced bringing a gross income of $1,322,000 to Utah producers.

With the rapid growth in recent years has come a demand for information about this new industry from producers, prospective producers, processors of meat and feed, agricultural leaders, and agricultural advisers. As with most new industries little specific information has been available concerning the …

The Respiratory Response To 6.2 Percent Carbon Dioxide And Various Concentration Of Oxygen At A Ground Level Of 5000 Ft. (Av. Bar. 630 Mm Hg), Astrid Lindholm

Biology ETDs

In this study the literature has been reviewed with [the aforementioned] facts in mind. It was of interest to note the lack of agreement among investigators concerning the respiratory response not only in inhaling 100 percent oxygen, but also to breathing gas mixtures containing low oxygen. Very few papers were found in which as systematic respiratory study had been made to determine the variations in ventilation produced by a given concentration of carbon dioxide at various concentrations of oxygen. On a whole, considerable individual difference in respiration was reported and it seemed worthwhile to study carefully a specific acclimatized subject …

Geology Of The Dallas Quadrangle, Carl N. Roberts

Field and Laboratory

In the Dallas quadrangle, the Eagle Ford shale and Austin chalk, both Upper Cretaceous, are concealed over about 30% of the area by alluvial deposits of the Trinity River. The late Cenozoic history of the area has been one of progressive uplift with alternate episodes of channeling and filling along the Trinity and its tributaries. As a result, three and possibly four ancient floodplains now stand as terraces bordering the bottom-lands. The names and respective heights of these terraces above the Trinity River flood plain are as follows: Marsalis, 110 feet; Love Field, 70 feet; Travis School, 60 feet; and …

Commercial Fertilizers For Winter Wheat In Relation To The Properties Of Nebraska Soils, R. A. Olson, H. F. Rhoades

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

It is the purpose of this bulletin to report the investigations that have been made correlating soil properties and fertilization practices with yields of winter wheat. Since the success or failure of fertilization practices is so dependent on specific soil conditions, an attempt has been made here to further characterize the major soils of the different sections of the state which are devoted to wheat production and to analyze fertilizer practices and results in relation to the soil properties determined. The data are summarized for the four sections of the state designated as southeastern, east-south-central, west-south-central and western Nebraska. These …

Ellis William Shuler, Ph.D., Ll.D., S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

When Dean Shuler retired from the deanship of the Graduate School of Southern Methodist University last September, the university lost from active teaching the last member of its original faculty of 1915. As associate professor and professor of geology for thirty-seven years, and as chairman of the Graduate Committee, or dean of the Graduate School for thirty years, Dean Shuler has been one of the bulwarks of the developing university. The editors of FIELD & LABORATORY take lively satisfaction in dedicating this volume of the journal to Dr. Shuler.

Mourning Dove Newsletter, Issue No. 7

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

This issue contains a summary of Mourning Dove populations data for assistance to the states and the Fish and Wildlife Service in preparing dove hunting regulations. It will also be of interest to all persons working on this important migratory game bird, whether in state game departments, institutions of learning, or individuals.

The previous issue was number 6, June 30, 1952. Since that date many of the southeastern dove projects have either been terminated or modified, so that information has not been gathered as extensively on populations during the past year as formerly. Consequently the major data available at this …

Visiting National Wildlife Refuges, Douglas Mckay, John L. Farley

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

If you travel in the wilder sections of our country, sooner or later you are likely to meet the sign of the flying goose-the emblem of the National Wildlife Refuges.

You may meet it by the side of a road crossing miles of flat prairie in the Middle West, or in the hot deserts of the Southwest. You may meet it by some mountain lake, or as you push your boat through the winding salty creeks of a coastal marsh.

Wherever you meet this sign, respect it. It means that the land behind the sign has been dedicated by the …

Your Weight, Rena Wills

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is a difference in just being alive and in being alive! Eating the right food will help you to: (1) feel better; (2) be more attractive; (3) live longer; and (4) increase the number of useful years. The food you eat becomes you—your blood, muscles, bones, and teeth; your size, strength, energy, stamina and ability to succeed; your morale, happiness, personality and attitude toward life; it becomes every part of you. And food is becoming to you if your choice is good. It gives you poise, confidence and sparkle. The food you eat is your nutrition.

Shelterbelts For South Dakota, E. K. Ferrell

SDSU Extension Circulars

Tree plantings will make· your farm home and its surroundings a more pleasant and comfortable place to live. Tests have shown that a good shelterbelt can cut your fuel bill 32%. Snowdrifts can be kept out of your farm yard and driveways by planting trees in the right places. Livestock make better gains on less feed when protected from cold winter winds. Your garden and orchard will be much more successful protected from wind. Shelterbelts slow down the speed of the wind for a distance of about 20 times the height of the shelterbelt. In other words, a shelterbelt 30 …

Avian Botulism Information On Earlier Research

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Over the years, the disease, avian botulism, has been an important factor limiting populations of waterfowl, particularly in the West. Great numbers (doubtless millions) of ducks have died from this disease, and because of such heavy tolls, studies of the malady were begun early in the century and continued intermittently to the present time.

This summary brings up to 1950 the series of investigations on botulism by Wetmore (1918), Kalmbach (1930, 1932), Kalmbach and Gunderson (1934), Sperry (1947), and others. This information has been compiled as a service to those concerned with conservation of our waterfowl resources. A cooperative agreement …

Trees Of Western Australia— Coral-Flowered Gum, C A. Gardner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Among the more decorative small trees available for planting in the Eastern Agricultural Areas, there are few more suitable that Eucalyptus torquata. This tree, known also as the "Christmas Tree" of the Coolgardie and Dundas districts usually blooms during December, and its handsome drooping coral-pink blossoms make it a conspicuous object in the woodlands at that season of the year. It was first discovered by L. C. Webster near Coolgardie in 1901, on a stretch of stony dioritic country 25 miles in length and about a quarter of a mile in breadth. It is found at least as far south …
