Gifts For Family And Friends, Anna D. Walker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Part of the joy in giving gifts comes from the making of something special for a friend or family member. The giving of gifts to mark such events as anniversaries, Christmas and Easter is a long established custom. Looking back into history, we read that tribute was given to show homage to royalty and other people of importance. It was thought that the rarer and richer the gift, the greater was the love and respect shown. Rare spices, perfumes, gold and jewels obtained by the giver at great expense and often much hardship were considered suitable gifts for royalty. People …

Some Studies On The Consortes Of The Norway Rat In Utah County, Utah, Roy J. Myklebust

Theses and Dissertations

This study of the Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus (Erxleben) and its consortes was undertaken in Utah County to determine : (1} the frequency of infection of Trichinella spiralis (Owen) Railliet, the causative organism of trichinosis in humans, (2) the populations of fleas, lice and mites on the rat, and (3) the occurence of other consortes. This study covered a period from January 1951 through June, 1951. Additional records were made available from studies being made by the Department of Zoology and Entomology, Brigham Young University on parasitic arthropods (listed as Project Ten). The species ot fleas, and those mites which …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Vii. On Some Helminths From Arctic Marmots With The Description Of Catenotaenia Reggiae N. Sp. (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Among Alaskan mammals examined for helminthic parasites during 1950 was a series of marmots, Marmota caligata broweri Hall and Gilmore, 1934, from the Brooks Range, Arctic Alaska. The animals were collected a few miles south of Tolugak Lake (lat. 68° 24' N, long. 151° 26' W), and from the vicinity of Kanayut Lake, about 15 miles northeast of Tolugak Lake. This distinctive marmot has been hitherto represented in collections only by the three specimens comprising the type material. In addition to greatly extending the known range of this form, the collection of these specimens also contributes the first information on …

A Graphic Résumé Of The Pleistocene Of Nebraska (With Notes On The Fossil Mammalian Remains), C. Bertrand Schultz, Gilbert C. Lueninghoener, W. D. Frankforter

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

I T SEEMS desirable at this time to present a graphic resume of the Nebraska Pleistocene, together with a summary of the stratigraphic sequences of the fossil vertebrates. This report is based on data taken from various publications' in addition to information gathered by the present writers during the past fifteen or more field seasons. Intensive work has been done in the past five years in connection with recovery of paleontological material in the areas where government dams are under construction (Schultz, Lueninghoener, and Frankforter, 1948; Schultz and Frankforter, 1948; Holder and Wike, 1949). The information in the present paper …

A Method For The Determination Of Adrenaline In The Presence Of Mono And Dihydroxy Compounds, Glenn H. Steinback

Biology ETDs

Although the adrenal glands have long been known anatomically, any clue to their probable function remained hidden until the nineteenth century. According to Best and Taylor (1949) Eustachius described the adrenal glands in his book entitled “De Glandulis Quae Renibus Incumbent” as early as 1563.

What Do Farmers Pay For Custom Work?, J. Harvey Glover

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Many inquiries are received from farmers concerning custom rates in various parts of the state. It is the purpose of this report to furnish information which may help farmers answer the questions listed above. However this report answers only the third question: "What custom rates are being charged?". This pamphlet contains a summary of custom rates as reported by 184, farmers in South Dakota for 1949. A mailed questionnaire (post card) was used. Information on twelve main custom operations in the state was requested. Some farmers, for reasons not known, did not report on each operation. No information as to …

This is the ninth annual report of the farm record study started by the Experiment Station in 1943.

Father-Son Farm Partnerships, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Can parents help their sons and daughters get started farming? The answer is yes. Parents can and do help their children get started farming by making gifts and loans of livestock and machinery and money. Fathers often help their children borrow money and rent land. In South Dakota 19 percent of the land lords reported that they rented some lend to a son or son-in-law. This is just slightly less than the coverage for aJ.1 the states in the Midwest. Inheritance and gifts of land are not uncommon. No less than 24. percent of Midwestern men who are farm owners …

The Role Of Environmental Factors In The Metamorphosis Of Ambystoma Tigrinum Mavortium Baird, John Roberts

The problem presented by this paper are directly concerned with the environmental factors influencing metamorphosis in Ambystoma tigrinum, and since the thyroid and pituitary glands are important in amphibian metamorphosis a brief account of experiments relating to metamorphosis is given here.

Physiographic Influences Of The Edwards Plateau On Its Endemic Amphibian Fauna-A Résumé, Lawrence Curtis

Field and Laboratory

It has long been known that the geographic ranges of certain plants and animals not only closely parallel each other, but also the physiography of their habitat. Indeed, plants and animals seem often to follow clearly certain intangible lines, in their distribution.

Head Capsule Of The Hemipteran, Triatoma Sanguisuga (Leconte), Joe C. Elkins

Field and Laboratory

The problem is difficult of selecting a generalized head typical for the suborder Heteroptera. Spooner (1938) used two principal characters as a basis for working out the phylogenetic affinities of hemipterous head capsules; subsequently, he had to use other characteristics to further subdivide the group.

The Texas Species Of Euthamia (Compositae), Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

Prefacing his "A Study of Euthamia" (Pittonia 5: 72-80, 1902), E. L. Greene says, "Altogether at variance with Solidago in habit and sufficiently well marked by several characters; much more nearly at agreement, habitally, with Gutierrezia, but necessarily separate from that group by its capillary rather than chaffy pappus, the genus is as definitely circumscribed as either Solidago or Gutierrezia, and as certain to obtain future recognition as either of them." With these remarks I fully concur.

The Genus Callirhoe (Malvaceae) In Texas, U. T. Waterfall

Field and Laboratory

All species of Callirhoe known in the United States occur in Texas except C. triangulata. This statement is, of course, dependent on species concept. Callirhoe Bushii, perhaps better treated as a variety of another species, is also not known from Texas. The species C. triangulata has been reported from Texas, but all such material seen by me is referable to C. alcaeoides, since they have the lower leaves only crenate or dentate, rather than lobed or parted as is usual. Sheets of C. triangulata from the Gray Herbarium show Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Alabama as the western limit of that …
