Bake Bread Successfully, Anna M. Wilson

SDSU Extension Circulars

During the latter spring and summer months of 1946 the United States was able to send more wheat abroad to starving people because we use 80 percent extraction flour instead of the customary 72 percent. Using 80 percent extraction flour taught us that degree of refinement does make a difference in the way flour must be handled in making yeast bread. In this circular we shall learn why wheat means so much to a world harassed with famine and how we can make better use of wheat by understanding the principals involved in breadmaking.

Pollination Cycles And Pollen Dispersal In Relation To Grass Improvement, Melvin D. Jones, L. C. Newell

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The plant breeder is initially concerned with gaining a knowledge of the breeding behavior of his plant materials in order that improvement may be undertaken effectively. It is important to know the different characteristic pollination habits of these plants. To develop and apply techniques applicable to the improvement of a given grass crop, it is desirable to know the time of day and the number of days that the grass sheds pollen. The effects of temperature, humidity, light, and wind on pollination must be considered. Once superiority of germplasm is obtained, the most important consideration is the maintenance of this …

The Rh Factor: Recent Developments And A Study Of Its Incidence Among The Indians Of The Southwest, Earl B. Gerheim

Biology ETDs

The purpose of this study was to continue the work started in determining the incidence of the Rh factor among Indians of the Southwest and review the related literature. This paper will include the author's initial results in which 251 Indians were tested.

There is at this time no published account on the incidence of the Rh factor among the Indians of the Southwest; therefore, this is important from the standpoint of originality. The problem has medical importance in the role which Rh plays in transfusion and congenital hemolytic disease, otherwise known as erythroblastosis fetalis. The results will serve as …

Pig Typhus (Salmonellosis Suis), L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Salmonellosis suis or pig typhus, also designated as pig typhoid, infectious necrotic enteritis, or "necro," is an infectious disease among young pigs. It constitutes a major factor in the mortality of juvenile swine, and as such must be regarded as a more or less perennial hazard in swine production. Infectious necrotic enteritis caused by Salmonella suipestifer is the subject of the present publication.

Bulletin No. 325 - An Economic Study Of Sheep Production In Southwestern Utah, Dee A. Broadbent, George T. Blanch, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

Range sheep production has been one of the major agricultural enterprises in Utah, particularly in the southwestern part of the state, since these areas were first settled. Stock sheep numbers in Utah were about 2,100,000 by 1890, which is approximately the present number in the state. Since 1890 the numbers have fluctuated between 2,000,000 and 2,775,000.

This important industry has, from the time of its introduction, been closely associated with the use of public range lands. The unrestricted grazing of public range lands resulted in damage to a considerable area and was one of the important factors that led to …

Vitamins For Poultry, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Vitamins are chemical substances essential for the maintenance of life, growth, and reproduction. Their effects are out of proportion to the relatively small amounts required. Fortunately, most of these essentials are widely distributed in nature, and an adequate ration can nearly always be provided by using logical combinations of common feedstuffs. Under certain conditions, however, the use of vitamin-containing concentrates may be desirable. In planning practical rations, it should be recognized that the plant leaf is the source of most vitamins. Milk and meat products make important vitamin contributions to the diet in addition to their proteins and minerals. Direct …

A Cytological Study Of The Salivary Gland Chromosomes Of The Attached-X Variety Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Jack Schull

Bachelors’ Theses

The detailed study of -the salivary chromosomes of the Diptera has been of great importance in substantiating cytologically the theories of genetics. A noteworthy example of the importance of cytological study is the non-disjunctive phenomenon which has occurred on at least several occasions in the strain of Drosophila melanogaster. Bridges (1913) was the first to report nondisjunction of sex chromosomes which was an important confirmation of the chromosome theory. L. V. Morgan (1922) used the cytological study of the germ cells of Drosophila melanogaster to prove that there was no disjunction of the sex chromosomes in the attached-X strain.

A Comparison Of The Autonomic Nervous System Of The Cat And The Pigeon, William P. Mccarthy

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to describe the autonomic nervous system of the cat and pigeon and to compare them as to their structure. This comparison will consist in noting the differences and points of similarity between the two animals. The autonomic nervous system of the cat is more complex than that of the pigeon and for that reason the comparison will consist in pointing out the parts of the autonomic nervous system present in the cat, but which are not found in the pigeon. In noting the points of similarity only the most important will be treated.

The Southwestern Travels And Plant-Collections Of G. C. Nealley, 1887-1892., Rogers Mcvaugh

Field and Laboratory

One of the more prolific botanical collectors in Texas in the late 19th century was G. C. Nealley, whose chief work was done under the auspices of the Division of Botany of the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1887 and 1888 Nealley was commissioned to pay especial attention to the grasses, particularly of western and southern Texas, and in 1891 he was authorized to concentrate on cacti. He was active between about 1885 and 1892, but little has been published in regard to his activities either before or after this period, and even his given names and the dates …

A Supplementary Gazetteer Of Texas, 1875-1895, Bessie Teeple Geiser

It is designed particularly for the use of botanical taxonomists, who from time to time encounter on herbarium sheets localities which cannot be found in any of the standard gazetteers…

Jacob Boll's Collecting In The Texas Permian: A Note And A Correction, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

Dr. A. S. Romer in a recent note has written on collecting vertebrate fossils in the Texas "Red Beds." In his paper, Romer states that the year 1946 is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the beginning of vertebrate-fossil collecting in the Permian of north-central Texas; and bases his statement on a small Permian reptile bone (which turned up in the Museum of Comparative Zoology a few years ago) with a label in Jacob Boll's handwriting, "Beaver Creek, 50 miles north of Fort Belknap, Texas, 1871." I have been much interested in Romer's note because of my own extensive studies on Boll's …

Developmental Anatomy Of Descurainia Pinnata, Robert D. Spensley

Biology ETDs

This study is concerned mainly with the morphological development of Descurainia pinnata subspecies ochroleuca (Wooton) Detling, a member of the tribe Sisymbrieae and subtribe Descurainiinae of the Cruciferae. Although commonly referred to as Sophia by many botanists, this genus is otherwise known as Descurainia and sometimes partly included in Sisymbrium. D. pinnata is listed as Sisymbrium canescens in Gray's manual, as Sophia pinnata by Coulter and Nelson, as Descurainia pinnata by Kearney and Peebles, and as Sophia ochroleuca by Wooton and Stanley.

Bulletin No. 324 - Some Physical And Chemical Responses Of Agropyron Spicatum To Herbage Removal At Various Seasons, L. A. Stoddart

UAES Bulletins

Management of arid western ranges must be based upon the physiology of the individual plants which constitute the range. Too little is known of the ability of range plants to continue normal functioning under stress of grazing. Grazing doubtless has some beneficial influences in arid climates because it reduces transpiring surface. Possibly "pruning" has some stimulating effect, especially upon shrubs, and also, grazing animals plant seeds through trampling action. Despite these possible benefits, both trampling and removal of herbage by grazing must be .regarded as fundamentally detrimental to the welfare of plants, especially in arid climates. Trampling, especially on wet …
