Bulletin No. 241 - Peach Harvesting Studies, F. M. Coe

UAES Bulletins

The purpose of the four seasons' study of maturity indexes of Elberta type peaches, made in Utah during the years 1926, 1928, 1929, and 1932 and presented in this publication, was to determine more accurately the best stage of maturity of peaches for distant shipment. In general, the procedure was: (1) To record color, pressure test, and other maturity indexes of fruit from trees under various conditions of culture, age, and vigor; (2) to classify the fruit by size and ground color; (3) to store under conditions comparable to refrigerated shipment to market; and (4) to record the appearance, quality, …

The Relative Susceptibility Of Alfalfas To Wilt, George L. Peltier

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Except for alfalfa seed originating from a few old fields of Turkestan and Ladak, all varieties and strains now grown for commercial seed production in the United States, so far tested, have proved susceptible to wilt. All seed lots tested from South America (Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay), Europe (France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Roumania, and Ukranian S.S.R.), Africa (Morocco, Algeria, and Abyssinia), and Asia (Palestine, Manchuria, China, Korea, and Chinese Turkestan) were found to be susceptible to wilt. All seed lots of Turkestan origin so far tested are as resistant as Hardistan, or more so. Seed samples from the …

The Comparative Anatomy Of The Kidneys, Edward Silberman

Bachelors’ Theses

Most of the Information which I have been able to amass has been taken from text books dealing with the kidney as an excretory organ only. My bibliography, therefore, covers a rather limited field. In it there will be found no articles in the various journals as my endeavors to find any such articles on my particular subject have not met with success. My thesis does not only contain a comprehensive account of the kidney, its weight and size, but also an account of its shape, size and correlation in growth and size to the age and weight of the …

Contributions To The Anatomy Of The Mature Larva Of Papilio Polyxenes Fab. (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), Ernst J. Dornfeld

Bachelors’ Theses

Thia study was undertaken with the purpose of gathering more comprehensive information on the larval anatomy of a typical member of the lepidopterous family Papilionidae. Except for investigations dealing with the osmeteria, literature on the general anatomy of this otherwise well known family is very scant. Because of the relatively small number of speci­mens that were available for study, this paper has been limi­ted to a discussion of the external anatomy and of the gross . morphology of the digestive tract, the urinary system, the silk glands, and the mandibular glands. Important papers in which these structures have been …

Ec33-136 Corn In Nebraska, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross, T.A. Kiesselbach

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Corn is Nebraska's most important crop. Of the nearly 19 million acres under cultivation in the state, over 10 million acres or more than 50 percent is normally planted to corn. This is three times the acreage of wheat, four times that of oats, and ten times that of barley. The 10-year average acre yield of corn for this state is 25.8 bushels compared with 26.9 bushels for the entire United States. Nebraska, with an average annual crop of approximately 258 million bushels, usually ranks third among all states in the total production of corn, being exceeded by Iowa and …

Ec33-940 Home Baking Of Breads, Florence J. Atwood

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Bread in some form is one article of food that is served on the table three times a day. No other single article of food has as constant a place in the daily menu. Bread is often the main item for breakfasts and suppers. The combination of bread and milk lends itself to an economical meal.

Breadmaking is not a difficult task. The splendid flours and reliable yeasts which are available have done much in helping to assure success in breadmaking. Home baking offers opportunities for variety in menus at low cost.

This 1933 extension circular discusses the principle ingredients …

A Key To Differentiate Nymphal Stages Of Melanoplus Differentialis (Thomas) From Those Of Melanoplus Bivittatus (Say), (Orthoptera); Also, Descriptions Of Instars And A Key For Identification Of Nymphal Stages Of These Two Species, Gerald Bishop Spawn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the past few years South Dakota and neighboring states have been confronted with serious outbreaks of locusts. Whole crops of small grain and corn have been destroyed by the voracious insect hordes which at times left only bare ground where once had stood waving fields of grain. Chief among the aggressors have been the two species, Melanoplus differentialis (Thomas), the Differential Locust, and Melanoplus bivittatus (Say), the Two-Striped Locust. The contents of this paper include studies of these two species.

Reliability And Adequacy Of South Dakota Farm Price Data, John Muehlbeier

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The reliability and adequacy of South Dakota farm price data cannot be stated with any great degree of precision. The statistical measures of reliability in this analysis are based upon the conditions of simple sampling of which the conclusions cannot be stated in absolute terms but must be expressed in probability. The sampling as done by the Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates is known as weighted stratified sampling, a departure from simple sampling, but considered to result in greater representativeness. Recognizing the limitations of the measures in this study, certain conclusions can still be drawn concerning the reliability of …

The Influence Of Feed And Sunshine On The Vitamin D Content Of Cow’S Milk, Ben L. Robinson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For the past several years there has been a growing tendency among dairymen, particularity those located near the large cities, to keep their cows in the barn much of the time. Under such a system of management the cows receive but little direct sunshine. In some localities it is also possible to find many cows which are fed the year around on dry feed receiving very little, if any, green food, either as soiling crops or as pasture. From many standpoints such practices are, of course, necessary and desirable, but from the standpoint of the nutritional value of the milk …

The Latex System In The Root Of Taraxacum Officinale, Eleanor Kelton Evenson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1930 Mr. Emil Madsen of this laboratory began some experimental work upon the roots of dandelions, for the purpose of determining the means by which a dandelion root, which has been cut off below the surface of the ground, regenerates new shoots. He found that such roots form adventitious buds in exposed pericycle and secondary phloem. Several such buds may be formed in a single root. They grow and appear above the ground as leafy shoot.

Autobiography Of Proteins In Nutrients, Marguerite Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1933, surveys the chemical classification of proteins and their role in human nutrition, with the stated aim of preparing home economics students to understand protein's function in the diet. Jones organizes proteins into three major classes: simple proteins, including albumins, globulins, glutelins, protamins, and histones; conjugated proteins, including nucleo-proteins, glyco-proteins, phospho-proteins, and hemoglobins; and derived proteins, including albumoses, peptones, and peptids, describing the chemical composition, solubility properties, and sources of each.

The thesis then examines amino acids as the end products of protein digestion, identifying those essential for growth and maintenance, including tryptophane, …

The European Pine Shoot Moth (Rhyacionia Buoliana Schiff.): With Special Reference To Its Occurrence In The Eli Whitney Forest, Roger B. Friend, Allen S. West Jr

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The European pine shoot moth has been recognized as a pest .in Europe for over a century. It was first discovered in the United States in 1914, since when it has become a serious enemy of red pine. The insect is becoming increasingly abundant in this country and is known to be present in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, possibly Florida, and in the provinces of Ontario and British .Columbia in Canada. Some fifteen species of pines susceptible to injury in varying degree have been reported as hosts .of this insect, …

Some Aspects Of An Early Expression Of Dominance In White Pine (Pinus Strobus L.), J Lee Deen

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

A series of temporary plots was made for the purpose of observing and noting (1) the factors affecting an expression of dominance of white pine (Pinus strobus Linnaeus) and (2) the relationship between dominance and the development of white pine stands. Twenty natural stands and thirteen plantation stands were studied.
