Racer's Storm (1837), With Notes On Other Texas Hurricanes In The Period 1818-1886, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

Recently, while gathering material on the life of Elijah H. Burritt (early American astronomer and engineer, leader of an emigrant-company to Texas (1837) from New Britain, Conn.) I unearthed many data on our first notable Texas hurricane. The Racer Storm of Sept. 26-Oct. 10, 1837 was on the Texan coast from Oct. 2 to Oct. 6. It was especially destructive at the mouth of the Rio Grande, as also at Galveston Island where a settlement was in process of forming.

Graphic Presentation Of Crop & Livestock Adjustments By Production Areas In South Dakota 1924-44, C. R. Hoglund

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

This is a graphic presentation of crop and livestock changes which have occurred in South Dakota during the period, 1924-44. The study of changes which have come about during the past twenty years should be a useful guide in planning adjustments for the transition and post-war periods. Drought conditions accompanied by low prices during the "thirties" disrupted the crop and livestock pattern. More favorable conditions in recent years have brought about a fuller use of agricultural production facilities in the state. The present war-time level of crop and livestock production will need to be adjusted to new demand conditions. These …

Nutritional Status Of Some Utah Population Groups, Almeda Perry Brown

Faculty Honor Lectures

The science of nutrition is the science of life. Though man is still ignorant of the true nature of that elusive force we call life, he has learned by means of the discovered laws of nutrition how to preserve and prolong life as well as how to add to the satisfactions of living.

The emergence of the sicence of nutrition from the maze of superstition which for centuries clouded man's thinking is a fascinating story. A story, however, that arouses a feeling of regret that for so long a time man was willing to attribute to supernatural forces all phenomena …

Southeastern South Dakota Farm Record Project 1943 Annual Report, C.R. Hoglund

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

A new farm record project was started in 1943 by the Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Service.

Two Newly Discovered Conifers, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Two genera of coniferous wood, apparently not listed among the Tertiary woods of the western states, have been recognized in the Percy Train collections from Rainbow Ridge, northwestern Nevada. These two, Tsuga (hemlock) and Chamaecyparis (cedar) bring up to 14 the genera of coniferous wood more or less certainly identified from the period and area in question.

Status Of Tertiary Woods Of The Western States Representing The Juglandaceae, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

For many years there has been uncertainty concerning the generic status of some fossil leaves belonging without question to the walnut family as a whole. A review of the woods of Juglandaceae as they have appeared in Tertiary horizons of the western states has suggested which genera are present, and in what proportions their leaves (or other remains) might be expected to appear.

Grassland Patterns In 1940, J. E. Weaver, R. W. Darland

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Major changes in grassland have now been followed for a decade over a considerable portion of true prairie in Nebraska and Kansas. The replacement of portions of this association by mixed prairie has been described (Weaver, '43). This major change resulted from the enormous increase or invasion of western wheat grass (Agropyron smithii) and the development of an understory of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) or buffalo grass (Buchloe dactyloides). But numerous areas of true prairie were only partially occupied by western wheat grass. Nearly all of the original cover of bluestems and associated species, …

Second Report Of The Committee On Grasshopper Research Appointed By The American Association Of Economoic Entomologists. Part 1, Work Conducted By State Agencies Of The United States., Agricultural Experiment Station, South Dakota State College

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

This is the second report of the Committee on Grasshopper Research. The appointment of such a committee was first authorized at the San Francisco meeting of the American Association of Economic Entomologists in 1942 and was appointed by President Harry B. Weiss. Dr. P. N. Annand, who succeeded Dr. Weiss as president of the American Association of Economic Entomologists in 1943, requested that the entire personal of the committee appointed by Dr. Weiss continue to function for another year. The committee members agreed to do this.

Notes On The Trematode Subfamily Loimoinae (Monogenea), With A Description Of A New Genus, Harold W. Manter, Waldo L. Schmitt

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

The subfamily Loimoinae was named by Price (1936) for a peculiar monogenetic trematode, Loimos salpinggoides MacCal lum, 1917, from the gills of a dusky shark, Carcharias obscurus (Lesueur), at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. Price (1938) redescribed this trematode, correcting several errors made by MacCallum. Manter (1938) described Tricotyle scoliodoni from a shark, Scoliodon terrae-novae (Richardson), from Beaufort, North Carolina, USA. He noted some similarities between Tricotyle and Loimos. The redescription of Loimos by Price increased these similarities.

Bulletin No. 311 - Water-Application Efficiencies In Irrigation, Orson W. Israelsen, Wayne D. Criddle, Dean K. Fuhriman, Vaughn E. Hansen

UAES Bulletins

There is today an urgent need for information on how to distribute irrigation water uniformly over land surfaces. Land and water are no longer cheap. Prices of the better irrigated lands in Utah range from $200 to $400 or more per acre, whereas dry farm lands are worth less than $100. Water stock which formerly sold at $25 per share now costs $100, or more. Storage water in the newer reservoirs costs from $30 to $50 per acre-foot, an amount equivalent to $9,000 or more for a full water right to irrigate 100 acres. Because of these high costs of …

A Comparative Study Of Dehydration And Infiltration, Jane C. Mahar

Bachelors’ Theses

Dehydration is the process of removing water from tissue which has been fixed and hardened. It is a necessary step for the Infiltration of paraffin. If the dehydrating agent is not a solvent of the paraffin, it is necessary to use a solvent first and then infiltrate with paraffin. Dehydration, according to Sass (1940), has some washing action besides making the material firm and, in some cases, hard and brittle. When Bouin’s fixing fluid is used, ethyl alcohol is the solvent used in removing the solution and in washing the material. Dehydrating agents which possess hygrosopic properties are those most …

Heterothallism In Schizophyllum Commune, Lois G. Wilbershide

Bachelors’ Theses

For many years, workers have been striving to arrive at definite conclusions in regard to heterothallism in a great variety of plants. Much work has been done and there are many instances where heterothallism has been established and confirmed. Yet, in regard to Schizophyllum commune, few investigators have studied this phenomenon. However, much work of a different nature has been done on Schizophyllum since 1719 when attention was first called to this fungus partly because of the peculiar split character of the gills. It has been collected, classified, and worked on since that time, but the greater share of the …

Bulletin No. 312 - Cache: A Beardless, Smut-Resistant Winter Wheat, R. W. Woodward, D. C. Tingey

UAES Bulletins

Resistance to dwarf smut is one of the major characteristics sought in the development of any new wheat variety for growing in the Western States. Before the development of resistant varieties, winter wheat losses in northern Utah and adjacent areas resulting from soil-borne dwarf smut were estimated to approach $500,000 annually.

In three principal locations, western Cache, Box Elder, and Juab Counties, Utah Kanred had for years been a good quality, hard red winter wheat variety of high producing ability, but susceptible to smut which in some years almost destroyed the crop. Losses from smut have been greatly reduced in …
