Microscopy Of Newly Developed Paper Making Fibers, Richard E. Hathaway

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The more important of the newly developed fiberous paper making materials are bleached groundwood, West coast kraft, hardwood kraft, semichemical pulp and cotton linters. The weight factors of these fiberous materials have been determined by several different investigators, but their identification in a paper furnish is very difficult. The weight factors of cotton linters varies with the freeness of the sample, which can be determined by dying the fibers with a mixture of a direct orange and a direct blue bye. Differentiation can be made between bleached and unbleached groundwood with the Loften-Merritt stain. Staining methods cannot be used to …

The Evaluation Of Coated Papers Containing Varying Amounts Of Thermoplastic Adhesives, Roderick A. Perkins

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Information is given on the effects of various concentration of styrene-butadiene latex and oxidized corn starch as binders in coated papers. Also data is given on the effects of increased amounts of styrene-butadiene latex in starch clay systems with respect to viscosity.

A Statistical Analysis Of Strength Characteristics Of Handsheets, Edward J. Horvath

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature survey was made in order to provide an outline of fundamental statistical definitions, formulas and methods which are used by the paper technician. These methods, if properly applied, would furnish valuable information as to the accuracy of test values, significance of differences and merits of various operations.

A demonstration is made of the application of statistical methods to test data obtained from samples of unbleached kraft pulp in the form of wet laps, air-dry pulp and soaked pulp. The analysis was devoted to the study of strength variations, uniformity and duplicability of handsheets produced from the three samples.

Agricultural Productive Capacity 1955 South Dakota, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Our agricultural resources have a strategic role to play in the present mobilization effort. Even a partial military mobilization calls for a large increase in food. Our population has increased by 20 million people since 1940. Our civilian per capita food consumption is up 13 percent, our agricultural exports are up 50 percent above the 1935-39 average and food surpluses have largely disappeared. Estimates of our agricultural productive capacity are needed to determine whether such capacity is great enough to meet future needs and to help the nation make wise decisions concerning such vital questions as these: 1. How much …

Use Your Time Efficiently, Isabel Mcgibney

SDSU Extension Circulars

There are only 24 hours a day. No matter how hard we try we cannot make more. Time cannot be found, spent or saved it can only be used. Time may be used wisely to gain many desired satisfactions, or it may be used unwisely with few pleasant results. If we want to use time wisely and save effort, we must be willing to admit there is room for improvement. We must also be willing to change from the old "in the rut" way to a new way of doing our job. Can you improve the way of doing your …

Farmers 1951 Income Tax, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Every person whose gross income during the year is $600 or more MUST file a return even though no tax is due. Gross income is total income (subject to tax) before any expenses are deducted. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming and your business year starts January 1, you have two choices. Either, (a) File your return and pay the tax on or before January 31, 1952; or (b) File an estimate of your tax and pay this amount by January 15, 1952, then file your return and pay any balance due by March 15, …

Reduced Ascorbic Acid Content Of Potatoes Grown With And Without Straw Mulching And Irrigation In Eastern Nebraska, H. O. Werner, Ruth M. Leverton, Mary R. Gram

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Potatoes harvested from home gardens and in commercial early-producing fields in the Midwest are an important low-cost source of ascorbic acid from late June into September. The major portion of the early commercial crop in Nebraska (harvested mostly in August) is produced with irrigation. Straw or litter mulching is a well established practice in the nonirrigated garden and farm potato patches. The value of these cultural methods for increasing yield is well known, but prior to this study little was known about their influence on the ascorbic acid content of the tubers, or about the persistence of any such influence …

Feeding Milking Shorthorn Steers, M. L. Baker, V. H. Arthaud, C. H. Adams

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The objectives of the feeding work were to provide the producer with feed-lot data and where possible with slaughter data for Milking Shorthorn steers. As a definite breeding research program with the Milking Shorthorn herd was planned, it also was believed that information about the beef-making qualities of the steers should be of equal importance with milk and butterfat production records.

Geographic Variation In Toads Of The Debilis Group Of Bufo, Ottys Sanders, Hobart M. Smith

Field and Laboratory

In 1938, Taylor (1938,513) for the first time pointed out the existence of two distinct forms of toads in the assemblage previously referred to Bufo debilis. These he designated as the species Bufo insidior Girard and Bufo debilis Girard. Since then much confusion has reigned, especially with respect to the range and status of the southeasterly form regarded as B. debilis.
