The Chemical Nature And Distribution Of Black Pigment In Soil, William Sherman Gillam

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

As used in this paper, humus refers to that portion of the soil organic matter peptized by four per cent ammonium hydroxide. That fraction peptized by four per cent ammonium hydroxide, precipitated by acids, and insoluble in alcohol, is designated as black pigment. It is called humic soil by many writers.

Root Distribution Of Trees In Relation To Soil Profile, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

One of the pronounced trends in American forestry during the past decade has been the development of a widespread interest in soils. As a consequence to the soil as a part of the environmental complex has been attributed much greater importance than formerly in forest production. In fact, the individual horizons of the soil profile are receiving attention each as a more or less distinct habitat of that highly organized body designated as soil. Just as soil scientists, until recent years, have given inadequate attention to the factor of vegetation in the constitution and development of soils, so too little …

Root Development Of Young Delicious Apple Trees As Affected By Soils And By Cultural Treatments, W. W. Yocum

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Young Delicious apple trees were grown in two soil types, clay loam and loess, in eastern Nebraska, under a variety of cultural conditions. The development of roots and tops was studied for the first three years after transplanting in the orchards. In all, 73 trees were excavated.
The first two years were about normal in precipitation at Lincoln (locale of the clay loam) while at Union (locale of the loess) there was a deficit of over 9 inches each year. The third year, 1934, was one of severe drought and heat at both stations. The total rainfall deficiency for the …

Root Development Of Young Delicious Apple Trees As Affected By Soils And By Cultural Treatments, W. W. Yocum

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The major problem of this investigation was to determine the effects of different cultural treatments and soil conditions upon the depth and lateral spread of the root systems of young Delicious apple trees during the first three years in the orchard. This study was conducted during the years 1932 to 1934 inclusive.

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Iii. A Comparison Of Calcium Carbonate And Calcium Sulfate As Sources Of Calcium, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

I. The utilization of nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus was studied with two lots of growing chicks by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. One lot had calcium added to the ration in the form of sulfate and the second received calcium carbonate, the additions being made on an equivalent calcium basis so that the experimental variable was the source of the calcium. 2. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were identical in the two lots. 3. No significant differences were found in the utilization of nitrogen, calcium, or phosphorus by the birds of …

The Magdalena Valley Of Colombia: A Geographical Reconnaissance, J. C. Kearby, R. D. Everett

Field and Laboratory

The Magdalena River, which rises on the slopes of Papas Peak, at the junction of the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera Oriental of the northern Andes, flows northward through the heart of Colombia to the Caribbean Sea, to form the country's leading highway. From its source, the river winds its way through 1,000 miles of jungle to Barranquilla, the principal Colombian port on the Caribbean. The Valley extends some seventy-five kilometers laterally, terminating in the foothills of the Central and Oriental Cordilleras.

Note On The Origin Of Tiffin Hole, Iowa, John D. Boon, Claude C. Albritton Jr.

Field and Laboratory

In describing the crater-like depression a quarter of a mile south of Tiffin, Iowa, Professor C. C. Wylie emphasized the need for criteria to distinguish depressions caused by meteoritic explosions from those formed by other agencies. He was able to show that this elliptical depression 100 ft. long, 75 ft. across, and about eight feet deep, is not a sink hole, buffalo wallow, artificial pond, or initial depression in glacial drift.… rofessor Wylie considered the possibility of a meteoritic origin, but was unable to discover convincing field evidence to support this hypothesis. The writers suggest that Tiffin Hole is a …

Diatoms As A Source For California Petroleum: A Summary Review, Fred B. Phleger Jr., Claude C. Albritton Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The diatom has been variously regarded as the major source, as an accessory source, and as a doubtful source for California petroleum. The two main lines of evidence cited by upholders of the first view are: (1) the intimate association of diatomaceous deposits with the majority of oil producing areas in the state, and (2) the observed ability of living diatoms to manufacture oil, which under favorable conditions could be stored in contemporaneous sediments. Opposed to this view are the facts that (1) some petroliferous areas in the state produce from horizons high above the postulated diatomaceous source beds, (2) …

Color Phases In Helicina Orbiculata Tropica 'Jan' Pfr., E. P. Cheatum, Betty Watt Brooks

Field and Laboratory

An interesting shell-color phase occurs in Helicina orbiculata tropica ’Jan.’ Pfr., a small land snail found in abund ance in northeastern, southern, and central Texas. Pilsbry and Ferris have noted color variations in this species, stating that "some colonies are all white; others are mingled with red or blue shells".

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Ii. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Single And Multiple Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effect of adding to a basal ration a protein concentrate consisting of meat scraps alone was compared with one made up of a mixture of meat scraps, fish meal, and dried buttermilk by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. 2. The percentages of nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus contained in the chicks of the lot fed the mixture of three proteins were slightly higher than those found in the lot fed meat scraps as the concentrate. 3. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were greater in the lot fed the mixture of …

Comparative Physiology Of Actinomyces In Relation To Potato Scab, Mitrofan M. Afanasiev

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The present work was undertaken with the purpose of investigating the physiology of different strains of A. scabies as compared with saprophytic Actinomyces. By a comparative study of these groups, it was thought that differences in the physiology of the two might be found which would give a better understanding of the nature of this parasitism and also of the metabolism of Actinomyces in general. In addition, it was hoped that the determination of the factors influencing the parasitism of Actinomyces might establish a basis for the development of more efficient methods of controlling scab diseases. The present investigation …

The Influence Of Various Soil Factors Upon Potato Scab Caused By Actinomyces Scabies, R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Scab, caused by Actinomyces scabies (Thaxt.) Giiss., is a potato disease of major importance in western Nebraska. Seed treatments are effective in controlling seed-borne scab, but it has been shown that even when healthy or treated seed potatoes are used the disease may be very severe because of infection from the soil. Crop rotation will reduce the incidence of the disease, but the fact that potato scab may cause serious loss in soils never before planted to potatoes indicates that there are numerous factors other than the time interval between potato crops which affect the occurrence of the disease. A …
