Resurvey Of Grasses, Forbs, And Underground Plant Parts At The End Of The Great Drought, J. E. Weaver, F. W. Albertson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Eight years have now passed since the fateful spring of 1934. The almost rainless March and April, the unusually high winds, and the great clouds of dust following two summers of decreasing precipitation, portended disaster. The intensity and duration of the drought and its appalling destruction have been studied from the beginning (Weaver, Stoddart, and Noll 1935) and several reports have recorded changes wrought in the native grass cover (Savage 1937; Weaver and Albertson 1936, 1939, 1940, 1940a). Drought began in great intensity a year earlier in the mixed prairie westward and south-westward. But previous to 1933, intensive studies had …

Student Agricultural Work Experiences In San Joaquin County, With Particular Reference To The Work Experiences Of Students Of Stockton And Lodi Public Schools In The Summer Of 1942, Frank L. Nash Jr.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As early as February, 1942, fears of an agricultural labor shortage began to be expressed in California. The Pacific Southwest Area Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association asserts in a statement of policy on Emergency Harvest Camps, “The California State Chamber of Commerce’s Central Coast Council’s Agricultural Committee points out that ‘the removal of enemy aliens from coastal areas, the absorption of migrant workers into defense industries, and increased government quotas for the production of many crops has created a serious agricultural problem.’ (News release, February 28, 1942).”

In San Joaquin County 5,000 Japanese were evacuated. Most of these …

The Life History Of Cyclocoelum Microcotyleum, George Alfred Butler

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Monostome trematodes of the family cyclocoelidae, taken from the American coot, Fulica americana, were described as a new species, Cyclocoelum microcotyleum, by Noble in 1933. These flukes were found in the air-spaces or the coelomes of birds taken from the waterways near Stockton, California.

Before this present work various attempts had been made to determine the lite history of this fluke. A number of fresh-water snails, indigenous to the region in which the definitive host was found, were exposed to miracidia of this fluke, but observations or infection were not obtained. In the winter of 1940-41 specimens of …

A Comparision Of Dosages Of Copper Carbonate And Ethyl Mercuric Phosphate With Chloranil And Sulfur As Sorghum Seed Treatments, W.F. Buckhholtz

Agricultural Experiment Station Plant Pathology Pamphlets (1942-1962)

The present military emergency threatens the supply of copper and mercury for fungicidal use. Copper carbonate and organic mercury compounds, notably ethyl mercuric phosphate, are the active ingredients of standard dust fungicides used in treating sorghum seed for protection of the germinating seed from soil and seedborne, seed-rotting fungi and for covered smut control.(2,4). In the event of enforced restriction of manufacture and sale of copper and mercuric fungicidal materials, two alternatives may confront the grower who nevertheless wishes to treat his sorghum seed. They are: reduce the dosage of copper or mercury, or, use a substitute material which is …

Transportation Of Various Commodities Received And Shipped By 644 Business Firms In 12 South Dakota Counties During One Week In July Or August, 1942, W.P. Cotton

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

A statewide study of existing transportation facilities, needs and arrangements was initiated in South Carolina on July 1 1942 by the Agricultural Economics Department of the Experimental Station at South Dakota State College, in cooperation with the Extension Service and State and County War Boards. The study was immediately prompted as a contribution to the war effort with the objective of finding means of relieving the rubber situation and an imminent shortage of motor transportation and man power. However, in addition to assisting in relieving the present emergency, the study promises to produce valuable results of a permanent character. The …

Bulletin No. 305 - The Composition Of Sumer Range Plants In Utah, L. A. Stoddart, J. E. Greaves

UAES Bulletins

In Utah, a vast industry of livestock grazing, which is the backbone of the state's agriculture, has arisen during the past 75 years. Range land furnishes between 6 and 7 million animal unit months of forage to some 2 1/2 million sheep and 275 thousand range cattle. Income from meat, wool, and range livestock sales in Utah is about $15,801,500 annually, of which $11,700,000 is calculated to be obtained from range lands exclusive of cultivated pastures.

These range lands can be used economically in no other way than by grazing livestock and, because of heavy winter snows and protracted dry …

Bulletin No. 304 - Phosphate Reserves Of Utah, J. Stewart Williams, Alvin M. Hanson

UAES Bulletins

To supplement the work reported by the senior author in Bulletin 290 of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, the writers have visited the phosphate outcrops in Weber, Morgan and Salt Lake Counties, as well as those in the Park City District of Summit County and others west of Midway in Wasatch County. These areas were found to contain considerable phosphatic shale of 25 to 35 percent grade, but no rock of 40 percent grade, the minimum quality included in the estimates in Bulletin 290. However, the data recorded for the sections visited are valuable in showing the leanness of these …

The Comparative Difference In Skeletal Structure Of Two Strains Of The Mus Musculus, Pasqual A. Capitanelli

Bachelors’ Theses

Father Raymond H. Reis, S.J., and Robert A. Littleford, Ph.D., both of the staff of Marquette's University Zoology department, while working upon an experiment in the feeding to the common house mouse, "Mus Musculus", noted that in the two strains of mice that were used, the white variety of mouse was a trifle larger than the black variety, but that their weights were identical. They suggested the possibility of a skeletal difference that seemed to be most prominent in the head of the mice.

Relative Drought Resistance Of Seedlings Of Dominant Prairie Grasses, Irene Mueller, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Recent study of the severe damage to native midwestern grasslands resulting from the great drought was fundamentally an investigation of drought resistance of the various species of dominant grasses and accompanying forbs (Weaver and Albertson, '39, '40). Studies extending throughout the entire eight- or nine-year period of drought, especially those concerned with recharting permanent plots, have resulted in an accumulation of evidence regarding relative drought resistance of the various species (Albertson and Weaver, '42). Extensive field studies on the role of seedlings in recovery of midwestern ranges from drought have added much information on this subject (Weaver and Mueller, '42). …

Transportation Survey Of Some 400 Trucks At 16 Livestock Markets In South Dakota, W.P. Cotton

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

A statewide study of existing transportation facilities, needs and arrangements is an immediate outgrowth of the rubber situation, lack of motor and rotor parts replacement and an imminent shortage of man power, although the study promises to produce results of a permanent character. The general plan and outline of the study as undertaken in South Dakota had its inception in the Corn Belt Livestock Marketing Research Committee as a result of 14 states in this area and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics cooperating in a livestock marketing study in 1941. The work in the state has been made possible by …

Swine Erysipelas Infection In Man, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The preceding decade witnessed the introduction and spread within this state of a hitherto uncommon disease of swine. This disorder, swine erysipelas, has gradually become disseminated throughout Nebraska's swine population until it has developed into a major problem of preventive veterinary medicine. Its appearance, furthermore, added another to our list of animal maladies which are communicable to man. The latter consideration may serve as warrant to review what is known about the part played by swine erysipelas as a human disease, to describe its more salient features and to examine them from epidemiological, clinical, pathological and prophylactic viewpoints.

A Study Of The Relationship Existing Between Certain Insects And Some Native Western Kansas Forbs And Weedy Plants, Carl Theodore Brandhorst

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

To the casual observer perhaps no sight could be more commonplace than that of an insect alighting upon a Kansas sunflower. But the relationship which exists between plant and insect is a matter which is often unknown even to the specialist. And yet a lack of understanding of these relationships has at times resulted in inconvenience, loss and even in calamity. To determine the relationship which certain insects bear to some of our native western Kansas forbs and weedy plants is the purpose of this study.

A Study Of Fluctuations In Coyote Numbers And Possible Causes, Sherwin B. Griswold

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This paper reports the findings of a study of coyote numbers, with particular reference to fluctuations, their periodicity, if any, and their possible causes. In order to answer these questions studies of bounty payments were made in four centrally located counties of Kansas. The counties selected for this study were Ellis, Russell, Edwards, and Harvey. The location of these counties is shown in figure I on page 5. A record of these bounty payments was secured by checking through the records in the office of the county clerk of these counties for all years in which records were on file.

Bulletin No. 302 - Nutritional Inadequacy Of Beet Molasses Rations For Swine, Russel A. Rasmussen, Harry H. Smith, Ralph W. Phillips, Ton J. Cunha

UAES Bulletins

The feeding of large amounts of beet molasses to young hogs causes a condition that is characterized by a wobbly gait, and that is frequently fatal. Hog raisers have apparently recognized this condition for a number of years, since a number of farmers have reported it in their animals. Some farmers have also reported breeding failures and abortions when beet molasses was fed to brood sows. Consequently, beet molasses has not been considered a good hog feed by Utah raisers.

Beet molasses is a relatively cheap source of carbohydrates and could be used advantageously in pork production if the cause …

A Study Of The Food Habits Of Large-Mouth Black Bass Fingerlings (Huro Salmoides) In Rearing Ponds, Fred Haynes

Field and Laboratory

Although studies have been made on the feeding-habits of bass-fingerlings in northern and eastern parts of the United States, no studies seem to have been published in the Southwest. Differences, both qualitative and quantitative, have been found between the plankters produced in the Southwest and in northern waters; and it is to be expected that these differences are reflected in the diet of fingerling fish.
