The living room should be so planned and arranged that all members of the family enjoy it. This room should be comfortable, convenient, and pleasant. It should provide space for the interests of each member and it should express a spirit of welcome to guests. After a family planning session you'll probably find that your family wants the living room to include a reading unit, a conversation unit, a writing unit, a sewing unit and possibly a music unit.

Rb160 Pink Rot Of Potatoes Caused By Phytophthora Erythroseptica Pethyb., R. W. Goss

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

During the summer of 1943 reports were received of rotted tubers occurring in fields of early potatoes in central Nebraska. The fact that the tuber rot was present at harvest time and was associated with the early death of the plants rather than occurring as a postharvest disease indicated the presence of a disease factor previously unreported in Nebraska.

A Half Century Of Crop Rotation, Theodore Eugene Odland, Albert L. Owens, Robert Smith Bell

Special Collections (Miscellaneous)

Fifty-three years of crop rotation studies, started in 1894, were concluded in the fall of 1946. These experiments were on Bridgehampton very fine sandy loam soil that was originally acid and produced meager crops. Within a very few years it became evident that the yields of crops could be materially increased by the use of agricultural lime and chemical fertilizers. The records of the last 17 years of the experiments are reported in this bulletin and comparisons are made with results from former years. The 3 rotations described in this bulletin are known as rotations B, E, and F. B …

Field and Laboratory

This study covers researches in Dallas County from 1945 to the present year. In this time, I have examined personally twenty-eight of the twenty-nine species and subspecies of snakes definitely recorded from the county. Many different localities over the entire county, including the various types of habitats, were visited.

Notes On Texas Compositae-I, Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

In the introduction to the unabridged edition of his Study of History (1933), Toynbee comments on the invasion of the field of scientific investigation by the Industrial System: the working up of raw materials ("data") by many individual workers ("scientists") into finished products ("papers," or as so commonly designated, "the literature"), according to more or less standardized methods of mass production ("Research"). Toynbee leaves it an open question whether this is not after all the best manner in which scientific investigation should be conducted in the present stage of development of western science. Certainly the magnitude of the task makes …

An Annotated List Of The Orthoptera Of Nebraska Part I The Blattidae, Mantidae And Phasmidae, Harold A. Hauke

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

This paper is the first of a series on the Orthoptera of Nebraska. In 1932, while a graduate student at the University of Nebraska, the author began a taxonomic study of the Orthoptera, the result of which was an unpublished List of the Othoptera of Nebraska. The list has been studied and revised.

Separation Of Enzymes On The Filter Paper Chromatopile, Herschel Mitchell, Malcom Gordon, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

A recent report from this laboratory described a method for isolation of low molecular weight compounds by chromatography on a pile of filter paper disks (1). Preliminary experiments have now been completed on the application of this method to the separation of enzymes. It was expected that a mixture of enzymes could be placed near the top of a filter paper pile and fractionated by imposing a gradient (i.e. pH, organic solvent, or salt concentration) on the column, thus taking advantage of a continuous process. Following the observation of Tiselius (2) it also seemed probable that enzyme separations could be …

Separation Of The Selenium Compounds In Seleniferous Plant Protein Hydrolysates By Paper Partition Chromatography, Arnold L. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1943 Franke reported that the protein of "allolied" or "toxic" wheat carried the toxicant, and Franke and Painter in 1935 reported that those "toxic" proteins contained selenium which was in organic combination in the protein. There has been much speculation regarding the possibility of selenium replacing sulfur in the amino acids cysteine and methionine. The toxicity of selenium in selenium analogs of these compounds is similar to that of selenium occurring naturally in proteins seleniferous cereals, which indicated that the selenium may be present in the proteins as the analogue of these sulfur amino acids.

Systems Of Producing Fat Yearlings For South Dakota, William Clark Mccone

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

About twelve billion pounds of dressed beef and veal were produced in the United States in 1947 through the conversion of grassland crops into meat by cattle and these cattle lead all classes of American livestock in the consumption of grass and grassland crops. Grass usually represents the principal and cheapest feed for beef cattle. They utilize about one third of the permanent pastures and three fourths of the range areas. Pastures may be regarded as a costly source of feed only on highly productive farm lands, but their use in rotation with cultivated crops on such land is certain …

The Apparent Digestibility By Sheep Of Prairie Hay Harvested At Three Stages Of Maturity, Robert Manseau Jordan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Grass is the greatest asset of the Northern Great Plains. Grass does and must serve as the basic feed for the flocks and herds of this area. Without grass, much of the Northern Great Plains would be waste land with little or no value. In the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, about 67 per cent of the total land is in pasture and hay. Seventy five to 95 per cent of the total feed needed by cattle and sheep in the Northern Plains states is furnished by pasture and roughage. With an ever-increasing demand …

Nomenclature Of Species Of Dandelion And Goats­Beard (Taraxacum And Tragopogon) Introduced Into Texas, Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

TARAXACUM 0FFICINALE Wiggers, Primitiae Florae Holsaticae, p. 56. 1780. The generic name is a nomen conservandum (International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature, ed. John Briquet, p. 111, 1935; also Brittonia 6: 93, 1947). Following are the principal direct synonyms applied to the common dandelion. The three references listed as not seen are taken from the synonymy given by Fernald (1933. p. 380).

African Rue (Peganum Harmala L.) In The United States, V. L. Cory

Field and Laboratory

Since its introduction into the United States, Peganum Harmala L. has become designated as "African rue" and by a few other names (probably none of them used for the species in its native area.) Although it does not belong to the rue family, but occurs in northern Africa, it also grows in western Asia near the Mediterranean Sea, and in south­eastern Europe.

Rejection: Some Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment, H. E. Andren

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

One of the many causes of personality problems is the feeling of rejection. It may result in the individual's becoming hypersensitive, resentful, or demanding, particularly if this experience has occurred in the impressionable age of youth. It is my purpose in this paper to set forth some of the symptoms and responses that occur in the individual who has this feeling, and what avenues are open in the treatment of such maladjusted individuals.

Injurious Effects From Contacts With Millipedes, Bruce W. Halstead, Raymond Ryckman

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

Millipedes are probably among the least mentioned of the so-called "medically important arthropods." Perusal of a number of the more common texts dealing with the entomological aspects of medicine (Belding, 1942: 600, Craig and Faust, 1940:511, Herms, 1946: 539, Mackie, Hunter, and Worth, 1945:515) revealed the concept, which is commonly believed, that millipedes are not capable of producing injurious effects. A recent experience of the senior author and additional investigation by both writers have prompted the writing of this paper in an effort to broaden scientific thinking regarding the medical significance of this animal.

A Study Of The Heel Flies, Hypodermia Lineatum Devillers And Hypoderma Novis Degeer, In South Dakota, John A. Lofgren

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The heel flies or ox-warble flies and their larvae, commonly called cattle grubs or warbles, are among the most troublesome and costly insect pests of livestock producers in South Dakota. These parasites attack cattle almost exclusively although they may occur at times in other domestic and in wild animals. Infestations in man have been recorded, but these cases are quite rare. This work deals only with the occurrence of the parasites in cattle.

The Lemming Vole, Synaptomys Borealis, In Northern Minnesota, Ralph M. Wetzel, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Lemming voles of the subgenus Mictomys have never been recorded from north-central United States, although they might be expected to occur there judging from records of the species Synaptomys (Mictomys) borealis from southern Manitoba. Recently, examination of specimens in the collection of the Minnesota Museum of Natural History reveals that Synaptomys borealis does occur in north-central United States for we have found the following specimens referable to that species: one immature female (No. 951, MMNH) from Williams, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, collected by Gustav Swanson, August 5, 1932; one adult male (No. 2552, MMNH) from Warroad, Roseau County, …

The Effect Of Age Of Gilt On Size Of Litter, Clifford Inman Iverson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Size of litter is an important consideration in determining the profits from a swine production enterprise. Basic information concerning factors affecting litter size is, therefore, pertinent to the swine production industry. This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of age of gilt on the size of their first litters.
