The Effect Of Field Applications Of Insecticides On Honey Bees, Frank E. Todd, F. V. Lieberman, William P. Nye, G. F. Knowlton

All PIRU Publications

Reports of tests of new insecticides have tended to minimize the practical dangers to beekeeping when these toxicants are applied to crops in bloom. The idea is current that these insecticides are harmless to bees if applied during hours when bees are not on the field. An examination of one alfalfa-seed area, where bee losses from commercial applications were reported, prompted a more critical examination to determine the effect of field applications of these insecticides on bees. This paper is a report of field experiments near Logan. Utah, with early-morning applications of DDT, chlordane, parathion, and toxaphene to alfalfa in …

Adequacy Of The High School Science Vocabulary In Biology In Filling The Needs For Normal Reading Of Popular Magazines, Clarence H. Stinemetze

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The problem as implied in the title of this report has been an attempt to evaluate in terms of the vocabulary of the high school biology textbooks adopted by the State of Kansas. This study used five current magazines which were available to the students at the high school circulation desk, at the public library, on magazine counters, and in the home library.

Egg Coolers For Better Eggs, Boyd J. Bonzer, Louis Lubinus

SDSU Extension Circulars

A recent study by the Research and Marketing administration showed that. South Dakota farmers are marketing only about 40 percent top quality eggs at the produce stations or first buyers. South Dakota is an egg exporting state and has to depend on Eastern and West Coast markets to buy three of every four eggs it produces. The consumers on these export markets are demanding a high quality egg, which leads to a great deal of discrimination against the low quality Midwestern eggs. Nearly all eggs are of top quality when they are laid. A very high percentage of the eggs …

Pink Rot Of Potatoes Caused By Phytophthora Erythroseptica Pethyb., R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During the summer of 1943 reports were received of rotted tubers occurring in fields of early potatoes in central Nebraska. An estimated 10 per cent of the tubers were found rotted in some fields on August 5. In November and December of the same year the late-producing area of western Nebraska reported the occurrence, at harvest and in storage, of tuber rots differing from those previously recorded for that area. Specimens appeared similar to those observed during the summer in central Nebraska. Isolations were made and pathogenicity tests were conducted both on tubers and growing plants to study the influence …

Field and Laboratory

We lack accurate data on the distribution of tropical butterflies in the United States, and even in Mexico and Central America. Several factors contribute to this condition.

Notes On Winter Feeding Habits Of North Texas Bobwhites, Fred H. Wagner

Field and Laboratory

From the viewpoint of the field biologist, Dallas is advantageously situated; for within a radius of less than a hundred miles one may reach six different principal soil types, each the result primarily of its underlying geological formation…. The problem of which this paper is the partial result, was an attempt to note differences or similarities in the feeding habits of bobwhites in these different regions (as affected by the soils through plant relationships.)

William D. Moore (1824-96), Amateur Geologist Of Mississippi, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

It is now nearly ninety years since William D. Moore, then professor of English at the University of Mississippi, collaborated with Eugene W. Hilgard on his famous geological report of that State. The archivists and historians have lost Moore from their records (if, indeed, they ever sought seriously for information of him), so that what was written five years ago of W. D. Moore (in another connection) remains as true as it was then: "No record of whence he came, or whither went (when the University closed in 1861), is to be found at the Univer­sity." Since the present writer …

The Disappearance Of Plant Species From The Range In Texas, V. L. Cory

Field and Laboratory

My study of the range began in 1923. Since then, under conditions of continuous (and often excessive) grazing, I have observed that certain palatable species of range plants have disappeared, and others have been severely reduced in abundance. Doubtless other species vanished before 1923, when I began my observations.

Marketing Of Aspen, Zigmond A. Zasada

Aspen Bibliography

The Lake States timber industry did a creditable job of producing and using considerable volumes of aspen during the war years. At that time it was shown that aspen could fill a variety of uses satisfactorily. However, improved marketing techniques are needed if present aspen stands are to be fully and profitably utilized. The aim of this paper is to call the attention of owners and producers of aspen to some of the points to be considered to improve marketing.

Aspen For Excelsior, Hereford Garland

Aspen Bibliography

The use of aspen for the manufacture of excelsior is well established in the Lake States. The properties of the wood make it suitable for this general use, and there are adequate supplies available for increased productive capacity. The process of manufacturing excelsior is relatively uncomplicated, and the production equipment is simple and relatively low in cost. That the industry is not more extensive is obviously due to limitations in markets for excelsior. Expansion of the industry depends primarily upon the development of new uses and new products having excelsior as a base.

A Study Of Saponification Rates As Characteristic Of Esters, Thomas F. Mitchell Jr.

Bachelors’ Theses

The saponification of esters has been the subject of considerable study, and the technology of manipulation of the reaction well defined. As a result, the reaction has become a quantitative standard for ester analysis. However the comparison of the rates of this reaction with various esters as charaeteristic of them has received little consideration compared to the course of the reaction. The work of Mr. F. E. Adler on the adaptation of fat constants to waxes suggested the problem. The thesis will attempt to ascertain any significant differences in the saponification rates of various esters with regard to their characterization.
