Osteology Of The Skull Of Phrynosoma Cornutum (Harlan), Arthur J. Detrie

Field and Laboratory

The horned lizard, Phrynosoma cornutum, was first desscribed by Harlan as Agama cornuta; in 1831, J. E. Gray transferred the species to the genus Phrynosoma. Much work has been done on the species. Many of the references to Phrynosoma cornutum are of a taxonomic nature, while references to its morphology are few and the material in the papers is scant. Description of the osteology of the skull are lacking.

Origin Of The Clastic Dikes In The Rockwall Area, Texas, John Napier Monroe

Field and Laboratory

Since the first of many elastic dikes was discovered near Rockwall, Texas, in 1851, their origin has been a subject of much controversy. Various observers have attributed them to the work of ancient man, igneous activity, marine sedimentation, and upward injection from parent layers of sandstone.

The True Clovers (Trifolium) Of Texas, Joe F. Hennen

Field and Laboratory

In Texas the true clovers do not represent a group of as much economic importance as the bur clovers (Medicago) and the sweet clovers (Melilotus). Trifolium repens, however, is widely grown in lawns and pastures. The native species, especially T. amphianthum, are of some value in pastures in the eastern half of the state. According to herbarium records, true clovers are lacking in the Panhandle and Southern Plains regions of Texas, and only one species is reported from the Trans-Pecos. It is likely, however, that introduced species do grow in these sections.

The Trichoptera Or Caddis Flies Of Dallas County, Texas, Clarence C. Hall Jr.

Field and Laboratory

Major contributions to our knowledge of American Trichoptera have been made (1934-47) by H. H. Ross, Cornelius Betten, and D. G. Denning. Their investigations, while concentrated in the eastern states, included some of the central states. Betten's work (1934) has been the basis for many recent studies. We know little, however, of the distribution of this order in Texas, even though it occurs abundantly in waters of the State. Most of the records for Texas were made in 1939 by H. H. Ross. In his report (1944), he recorded seven families and thirty species from Texas, ten of which were …

Farm Building Plans, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Buildings are a necessary part of each farm unit. They are used to provide shelter and facilities for farm family living, to house livestock, for storage and processing of food and feed, and for utility storage or service. Most farm buildings are designed to be used for many years. A carefully planned, well-located building carefully adapted to the use for which it is intended, is a profitable investment and a source of satisfaction. On the other hand, a poorly planned and improperly built structure may prove both costly and unsatisfactory. Every building on the farm represents a longtime investment and …

Bulletin No. 341 - Rambouillet And Columbia-Rambouillet Lambs On The Range And In The Feed Lot, T. Donald Bell, Milton A. Madsen, James A. Bennett, Louis L. Madsen, D. Clarence Schmultz

UAES Bulletins

Sheep of predominately Rambouillet breeding have been most popular on southern Utah ranges because of their hardiness and wool-producing ability. In the early years of sheep production in Utah a major portion of the income was derived from the sale of wool. This situation has gradually changed over the past years and now income from the sale of lambs is greater than that from fleeces. Rambouillet rams with improved mutton qualities have been used by some range operators to increase the mutton producing abilities of their ewes. Other operators have used Corriedale, Panama, Columbia, and other white faced crossbred-type rams …

Effect Of Stubble Mulching On Number And Activity Of Earthworms, S. P. Teotia, F. L. Duley, T. M. Mccalla

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A survey of earthworm population under different cropping systems was made under stubble mulch farming and where the residue was plowed under. The influence of earthworms on some of the important physical and biological properties of the soil was studied. Their role in the decomposition of crop residues was also determined.

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.

The Growth-Promoting Properties Of Quinic Acid, Malcom Gordon, Francis A. Haskins, Herschel Mitchell

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Evidence is accumulating that there is a common metabolic precursor to many of the benzene ring derivatives found in living organisms. Recent work by Davis and Tatum indicates that one such precursor is the naturally occurring shikimic acid (Fig. 1) since this compound serves as a growth factor for certain mutants of Escherichia coli and Neurospora which otherwise require a combination of tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and p-aminobenzoic acid for growth. These mutants cannot utilize the closely related, naturally occurring quinic acid (Fig. 1) as a substitute for any of their requirements.

Bulletin No. 340 - Adult Honey Bee Losses In Utah As Related To Arsenic Poisoning, G. F. Knowlton, A. P. Sturtevant, C. J. Sorenson

UAES Bulletins

During 1947 the 55,000 colonies of honey bees in Utah produced approximately $545,000 worth of marketable honey and beeswax. In addition they pollinated most of the fruit, alfalfa seed, various vegetable and other seed crops. By 1949 the price of honey had declined to where the crop of honey and beeswax was worth $253,000, produced by 49,000 colonies of bees. The value of bees in Utah as pollinating agents to fruit and seed crops greatly exceeds the income received by beekeepers from bee products sold. Because agriculture receives such great benefit from bees, it seems reasonable that farmers who are …
