A Gastropod New To The United States, Elmer P. Cheatum

Field and Laboratory

A species of branchiate snail new to the molluscan fauna of the United States, Hydrobia palomasensis (Pils.) (fide Pilsbry), was collected near Fort Davis, Texas, in April, 1936, by Mr. Ottys Sanders of Dallas. The specimens were found in a small canyon opening into Limpia Canyon, about five miles north of Fort Davis. The present writer, on a trip to this same locality last September, found this species in abundance.

The Influence Of The Shoreline, Rivers And Springs On The Settlement And Early Development Of Texas, Ellis W. Shuler

Field and Laboratory

A comparison of early colonial settlements in New England and Texas during the middle of the eighteenth century shows a decided contrast in their locations. In New England the colonists settled along the coast, in Texas along a line roughly parallel to the coast but about one hundred miles into the interior. This distribution, coast line and interior, is all the more striking since in Florida and the West Indies the Spanish colonists, just as the English in New England, settled along the sea margin.

Spruce In The Western Miocene, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

One of the real surprises in store for us as we began to section specimens of petrified wood from the Vantage and certain other horizons in Central Washington, was the prevalence of a spruce type hardly hinted at in the leaf lists as published for the various sediments of Yakima time (upper miocene?).

Bulletin No. 274 - Influence Of Rotation And Manure On The Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Carbon Of The Soil, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

All agricultural plants require carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, and probably traces of other elements for their normal growth and fruition. The growth of farm crops is dependent upon an available supply of these elements, and the extent of growth is governed by the one present and available in least quantity in proportion to the plant's needs. Of the essential elements, all plants secure two (carbon and oxygen) from the air, one (hydrogen) from the water, and the others from the soil. Most soils contain sufficient plant nutrients for normal plant production, with the exception …

Some Factors Affecting The Cooking Quality Of The Pea And Great Northern Types Of Dry Beans, Edna B. Snyder

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Dry beans of the Great Northern and pea-bean type from Nebraska and several other bean-producing states were studied to determine the factors affecting the cooking quality. A standard cooking procedure with distilled water was used to disclose differences in cooking quality, and the percentage of beans too hard for table use was determined for each cooked portion. The factors studied were: soaking, including time and temperatures; storage, including time and storage conditions; age; size; place of origin; effect of chemical solutions; and the composition of the seed coat. The chemical solutions used were hydrochloric and acetic acids in different concentrations; …

An Interpretive Study Of Some Kentucky Biologists, Rachel Winstead

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken with the idea of bringing together information concerning some of the most important Kentuckians who have made contributions to the biological sciences. In order that we may better understand and appreciate the work done by these men, it was thought best to give a brief discussion of the major periods in the history of biological development. An attempt will be made to interpret the contributions of the men discussed, according to the period in which they lived. Only a sufficient number of men are discussed in each epoch to give a correct picture of the trends …

The Effects Of Vitamins "A" & "D" Deficient Diets On Crayfish, Joseph Hale

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The literature on vitamins shows that the greater number of the studies made of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets have been confined to their efforts on the vertebrates. Only a few controlled experiments have been conducted to determine the effects of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets on the invertebrates.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets on crayfish.

Reports From "Drought Front" Tell State Or Vegetation, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Development of the natural prairie vegetation is an excellent indicator of the intensity of drought. The extreme drought of 1934 left many bare areas in the grasslands and all but swept away most of the least drought-resistant species. The dry early spring and later summer of 1935 witnessed great increases in needlegrass, western wheat grass, and the invasion of a host of weeds. The favorable spring of 1936 promoted an abundant growth and emphasized the great changes in the prairie flora.

Bulletin No. 272 - Transmissibility Of Bang's Disease Among Dairy Cattle In A Utah Dairy Village, D. E. Madsen, O. G. Larsen

UAES Bulletins

For a number of years it has been generally recognized that one of the most satisfactory methods of controlling Bang's disease in dairy cattle is to locate spreaders by means of the agglutination test and to eliminate them from the herd. The success of such a plan in relation to Utah dairy herds was not clearly understood because of the physical farm set-up peculiar to many communities in this state. The village of Hyde Park where this study was made is organized on such a community basis. Usually, a house and livestock buildings are constructed on the town lot, consisting …

Pigment Migration In The Eye Of Forbesichthys Papilliferus, Harld Welborn

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Previous studies conducted in these laboratories showed the pigment in the eye of Forbesichthys papilliferus, when exposed to light, migrated from the stratum pigmenti into the layer of rods and cones. It was thought advisable to investigate this matter further. The following lines of investigation were conducted, viz:

1. to determine the rate at which the pigment migrates from the stratum pimenti into the layer of rods and cones when exposed to sunlight;
2. to determine the rate at which the pigment migrates from the stratum pigmenti into the layer of rods and cones when exposed to artificial light; and
3. to determine …
