General Morphology And Physiology Of The Urogenital System Of The Opossum, Robert Schuster

Bachelors’ Theses

From the very first, I wish the state that the title, "General Morphology and Physiology of the Urogenital System of the Opossum," is not entirely descriptive of the text which is to follow. However it is as nearly descriptive as I could hope to make it.

It seems that during the history of biological research the workers have done comparatively little work on the Opossum. This neglect was probably due to its inaccessibility, since it is found only in Australia and in the semitropic regions of North America. In the nineteenth century the eminent authority on anatomy, Sir Richard Owen, …

Alfalfa Seed Production In Millard County, Utah As Related To Soil Type, George Whornham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Alfalfa has a wide range of adaptability as a forage plant, but the areas in which it will produce seed successfully are extremely limited. These sections are confined almost exclusively to the arid or semi-arid regions of the world. In all other areas it is primarily a question of seasonal fitness. The extreme localization may be further emphasized by the fact that within the highest producing counties there are appreciable areas of land not suitable for seed production.

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On Muck Soil In Sanpete County, Utah, Lemoyne Wilson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The reclamation of muck soil is a new development in the state of Utah. Knowledge concerning the various properties and requirements of the newly-drained area in Sanpete County, Utah, is extremely limited. A need for fundamental information concerning this type of soil was the basis for the establishment of an experimental farm in this region. The fact that most organic soils respond to mineral fertilizers soon after they have been reclaimed was an important reason for starting fertilizer work on this soil as soon as it was possible to do so. This thesis reports some of the fertilizer work being …

A Morphological And Systematical Study Of The Genus Brachinus Of The United States, Almon L.D. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The genus Brachinus belongs to the well-known family Carabidae, commonly known as "Ground Beetles". About 15,000 species of Carabidae have been described, of which over 100 genera and 1,200 species occur in the United States. (Dodd Mead 1928).

Fertilizer Studies As Conducted On The Carbon County Experimental Farm With Special Reference To Treble-Superphosphate, Delos Zobell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1927 an experimental farm was established in Carbon County, Utah. The farm is on a new irrigation tract south of the Price River and about four miles south of Price. The agricultural problems of the Carbon County Experimental Farm and the locality which it serves are distinctly different from those of most of the farming sections in Utah. The soil of this region is of a sandy, silty nature apparently with deflocculated colloids which make it somewhat difficult to manage. There is a low percentage of organic matter in this soil, and because of this and its impervious condition …

Citrus Talks-Back To Good Times, Charles C. Chapman

Charles C. Chapman Citrus Speeches

This is a radio address that was given by Mr. Chapman during the Bank of America's "Back to Good Times" program. "Back to Good Times" urged Americans to invest and bank their money to help bring the country out of the Depression. Mr Chapman claims Californians have a special obligation to participate, considering its farmers are among the most prosperous in the nation.

Ecology And Relative Importance Of The Dominants Of Tall-Grass Prairie, J. E. Weaver, T. J. Fitzpatrick

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

This paper is the result of an intensive study of the vegetation of the prairie. The study extended over a period of ten years. It deals with the life histories, distribution, and relative importance of the dominant grasses in a central area of the tall-grass prairie. This area includes the grasslands of the western one-third of Iowa and those of approximately the eastern one-third of Nebraska. On the south it extends into Missouri and Kansas to the Kansas River. North- ward it includes a small portion of southwestern Minnesota and a larger one of southeastern South Dakota.

Indicator Significance Of Brush Lands For The Growth Of Western Yellow Pine, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

A study of unusual interest and significance in the application of ecological principles to the solution of an economic problem has recently been completed. It deals with the causes for the absence of western yellow pine in brush vegetation of various types that occur throughout the mountainous portions of northern Utah, eastern Idaho, and western Wyoming, and, in fact, form a much interrupted and fragmented belt whose center extends from the Gulf of California to west-central Montana. Many of these brush sites, especially in northern Utah and southern Idaho, lie immediately below the Douglas fir type (which is continuous) and …

Circular No. 97 - Growing Alfalfa-Seed, John W. Carlson

UAES Circulars

SEED SHOULD BE GROWN FROM SUPERIOR VARIETIES AND STRAINS OF ALFALFA

The present tendency in alfalfa improvement is to establish narrow types or strains for special purposes and which are adapted to a particular set of conditions. It was at one time thought that an alfalfa variety with numerous types of plants would have a wider range of adaptability to diverse conditions and that inter- crossing among the different plants would maintain the vigor of the variety.

Studies Of Prairie Hay In North Central Nebraska, F. D. Keim, A. L. Frolik, G. W. Beadle

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During five years, 1924-1928, Nebraska ranked first among the states in the production of prairie hay. Approximately 2,500,000 tons were grown annually during this period. In acreage utilized, wild hay ranked third among the field crops of Nebraska. As a forage crop in the state, prairie hay ranked first in acreage, but second to alfalfa in production. The purpose of this bulletin is to report studies made of the botanical structure and yields of the native hay meadows during a period of four years, 1926-1929, in the most prominent prairie hay producing section of the state. Four counties in this …

The purpose of this publication is to indicate to owners of small forests methods of harvesting wood and timber and developing future timber crops which .are likely to prove more profitable than those followed in the past. Cutting practices here described have been applied for some years in the Eli Whitney Forest, New Haven, Conn., where forest areas in various stages of treatment can be ·seen.

The Transportation Of Wood In Chutes, Alexander M. Koroleff, Ralph Clement Bryant

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

Artificial channels, known as chutes, in which logs and bolts may be transported down steep slopes by means of gravity, were devised several centuries ago in the mountainous regions of Europe and later were used by north American loggers, especially in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. They operate most advantageously on grades that are far in excess of those on which wheeled vehicles or sleds can be used safely, and they are most serviceable for moving timber on terrain which is so steep or broken that the construction cost of suitable roads is prohibitive.

Rb32-270 A Seven Year Study Of A Milk Supply, P.A. Downs

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The amount of butter produced by the grain-belt states is evidence that a great many cows are milked by the midwestern farmer. Most of this milk is separated on the farm, the cream is sold, and the skimmilk is fed to hogs and other livestock. As the market for fluid milk has developed, many farmers near the cities have turned to the sale of milk, because it affords a better return for the butterfat sold. Much of the milk produced for sale as fluid milk is produced under practically the same conditions as milk which is produced primarily for the …

Bulletin No. 233 - Observations On The Use Of Commercial Fertilizers On The Arid Soils Of Utah, D. W. Pittman, Clarence Burnham

UAES Bulletins

Only within the last few years has the question of commercial fertilizers been worthy of serious consideration in Utah. It has been considered that commercial fertilizers were unnecessary in Utah (1) because arid soils retain their virgin fertility much longer than soils in the humid region which are subject to continual leaching by heavy precipitation, (2) because livestock have always predominated in Utah's agriculture due to the vast areas adapted only to range purposes and livestock means manure to maintain fertility, and (3) because alfalfa, our principal feed crop, is also one of the best plants for gathering nitrogen from …

Ec32-713 The Trench Silo In Nebraska, Ivan D. Wood, E.B. Lewis

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The original idea of using a trench for the storing of ensilage seems to have been the outgrowth of the practice long used in several European countries of storing clover and beet tops in pits. Shortly after the World War, western Canada followed by Montana and North Dakota began to use the trench silo. In Nebraska the true trench silo made its appearance about 1925 or 1926.

The trench silo as described in this circular, unless lined with some permanent material such as brick, concrete or stone, must be considered a temporary structure which will serve for a few years …
