Ec1809 The Whys And Hows Of Cereal Seed Treatment, A. F. Sherf

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Extension Circular 1809 is called The Whys and Hows of Cereal Seed Treatment and it is about why cleaning and treating wheat, barley, and oats pays dividends each year in the form of better stands, reduction of weeds, and most important, in disease control. It also talks about why seed treatment is the best solution and it is because it is the easiest and most economically done by killing the spores on the seed with chemicals. At the very end, it describes the chemicals used for seed treatment, how and when to apply the chemicals, and the precautions necessary.

The Lemming Vole, Synaptomys Borealis, In Northern Minnesota, Ralph M. Wetzel, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Lemming voles of the subgenus Mictomys have never been recorded from north-central United States, although they might be expected to occur there judging from records of the species Synaptomys (Mictomys) borealis from southern Manitoba. Recently, examination of specimens in the collection of the Minnesota Museum of Natural History reveals that Synaptomys borealis does occur in north-central United States for we have found the following specimens referable to that species: one immature female (No. 951, MMNH) from Williams, Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, collected by Gustav Swanson, August 5, 1932; one adult male (No. 2552, MMNH) from Warroad, Roseau County, …

Management Of Native Deer In Nebraska, John H. Wampole, Edson Fichter

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

Deer are on the increase in Nebraska. Reports of deer seen, of deer killed on highways, and of localized cases of damage to crops by deer have become increasingly frequent during the last ten years. Since Nebraska is not primarily a land of forests nor of great repute as a deer state, the presence of these mammals in more than rare occurrences arouses considerable interest-and creates new problems in wildlife management.

It is the purpose of these notes to answer some of the questions most commonly asked about deer in Nebraska, and to point out certain misunderstandings which have led …

Effects Of Weather, Sanitation And Chlorinated Chemical Residues On House And Stable Fly Populations On Nebraska Farms, Martin H. Muma, Ephriam Hixson

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Since L. O. Howard's (1906) early report on house flies many entomologists have conducted research on these insects. Their reports range from notes on the hibernation of house flies, Musca domestica L., to lengthy papers on the biology and control of house flies and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). Early control studies stressed the importance of sanitatioll, screening and the use of mist type contact insecticides. These standard control measures have not, however, received much attention in the United States since Wiesmann (1943) reported on the pro-longed effectiveness of a new insecticide "Gesarol." Scores of other workers have also published …

Mechanical Transmission Of A Plant Tumor Virus To An Insect Vector, Karl Maramorosch, Myron K. Brakke, L. M. Black

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Most plant viruses transmitted by leafhoppers have not been demonstrated to be infective in extracts. The virus dealt with in this paper causes tumors in certain susceptible plants, is carried by leafhoppers, and like others in that group has proven difficult to detect in extracts. It is our purpose to recount briefly the variety of methods that failed to transmit the virus and to report on the success of insect-to-insect transmission by injection.

Evidence For A Tryptophane Cycle In Neurospora, Francis A. Haskins, Herschel Mitchell

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The work of Snell on lactic acid bacteria provided the first evidence that anthranilic acid may act as a precursor to tryptophane in vivo. Since the strains of bacteria which utilize anthranilic acid in the place of tryptophane also use indole, it was not possible to establish the order in which these two precursors occurred. In 1943 Tatum, Bonner and Beadle found that anthranilic acid was accumulated in the culture medium by a Neurospora crassa mutant, strain 10575, which required either tryptophane or indole for growth. It was therefore indicated that anthranilic acid is a precursor to indole in …

The Occurrence Of Platynosomum Illiciens (Braun, 1901) In A North American Hawk., J. Fred Denton, Robert Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A series of 160 hawks of 12 species from ten states and the Province of Manitoba has been examined for dicrocoeliid trematodes. Only one species of dicrocoeliids was found in them indicating the infrequency with which North American hawks are infected with trematodes of this group.

Of the 160 hawks examined 4 were broad-winged hawks. Buteo platypterus, 2 of which, collected in Ohio and Wisconsin, harbored in their bile ducts 3 and 8 specimens respectively of a trematode of the genus Platynosomum. These specimens, after comparison with both the original and the recently expanded description by Travassos (1944, …

Some Observations On Cestodes Of The Genus Paranoplocephala Luehe, Parasitic In North American Voles (Microtus Spp.), Robert Rausch, Everett L. Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Although cestodes of the genus Paranoplocephala Luehe, 1910, are common parasites of voles and certain other rodents in North America, their taxonomic status to the present time has been much confused. It is the purpose of this paper to clarify the situation in regard to those species parasitic in voles of the genus Microtus Schrank.

While certain of the cestodes considered here occur in hosts of other microtine genera, they are by far more abundant in the various species of Mi· crotus. At least two are also common in geomyid rodents. With the possible exception of Paranoplocephala brevis Kirschenblatt, …

Studies On The Parasitic Helminths Of The North Central States. Ii. Helminths Of Voles (Microtus Spp.) Preliminary Report, Robert L. Rausch, Jack Tiner

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The helminths of North American mouse-like rodents have received little study. Previous work has been based on low numbers of animals examined, and there has been little reference to the ecology involved. The purpose of this paper is to present data resulting from the examination of over 600 voles, with special reference to host-parasite relationships

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Tests conducted during the past four years at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station have shown that when seeds are planted in cold, wet soils, better stands of vigorous seedlings are generally obtained when the seeds are treated before they are planted.

Preliminary Geomorphological Studies Of The Lime Creek Area & Preliminary Report On The Lime Creek Sites: New Evidence Of Early Man In Southwestern Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Gilbert C. Lueninghuener, W. D. Frankforter

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

PALEONTOLOGICAL and archaeological discoveries were made near Cambridge, Nebraska, by the University of Nebraska State Museum field party in the spring of 1947 (Schultz and Frankforter, 1948, pp. 279-280) . Fossils and artifacts were found in situ at the base of a fifty-foot terrace on Lime Creek (University of Nebraska State Museum Localities Ft-41 and Ft-42) and on Medicine Creek just below the mouth of Lime Creek (Ft-50). Lime Creek is located (Fig. 1) in southwestern Nebraska in the southeastern part of Frontier County. It is a tributary of Medicine Creek which in turn is a tributary to the Republican …

Studies In Quantitative Paleontology: I. Some Aspects Of The Theory And Practice Of Quantitative Invertebrate Paleontology, Benjamin H. Burma

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

For some time there has been a noticeable trend toward a more strictly quantitative outlook in paleontology. In view of many special circumstances encountered in dealing with fossil material, there is a rather extended consideration here given to the theoretical background of the quantitative method as applied to fossil invertebrates. First there is a consideration of the relations between sampling theory and paleontology. This is followed by a discussion of variability in populations and the problem of inference from sample to population. A consideration is next given to the species concept and a comparison of the units which can be …

Observations On Cestodes In North American Owls With The Description Of Choanotaenia Speotytonis N. Sp. (Cestoda: Dipylidiinae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Little is known concerning the helminths parasitic in several major groups of the North American avifauna. This appears to be particularly true of the parasites of owls. Over the past few years the writer has had the opportunity of examining a fairly large series of these birds, and they have been found to be infected with several helminths of unusual interest (Chandler and Rausch, 1947).

Trypsin Inhibitor. Vii. Comparative Nutritive Value Of Raw And Heated Soybean Meal For Poults, C. W. Ackerson, Raymond Borchers, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

I. The trypsin inhibitor contained in one-half of a lot of soybean meal was destroyed by autoclaving at 15 pounds for 20 minutes. 2. This portion of the meal when fed at a level of 24 per cent to newly hatched poults gave a significantly greater gain in five weeks than did an equal amount of meal in which the inhibitor had not been destroyed. 3. The difference in growth is attributed to the destruction of the trypsin inhibitor.

The Influence Of Length Of Storage Of Bovine Semen On Conception Rate Under Field Conditions, A. B. Schultze, H. P. Davis, C. T. Blunn, M. M. Oloufa

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

It is the purpose of this study to determine whether under conditions of routine handling in artificial breeding associations there is a decline in semen fertility from day to day and also to determine the magnitude of this decline. Tabulation of such data will not only be of value in determining the effect of frequent semen collection on the over-all artificial breeding results but will also serve as a basis of comparison in investigational work directed toward increasing the efficiency of artificial breeding.

Studies On The Parasitic Helminths Of The North Central States. I. Helminths Of Sciurida, Robert L. Rausch, Jack Tiner

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

It is accepted that a fair degree of completeness is being achieved in our knowledge of North American mammals and birds. It can be assumed that nearly all the described species of the higher vertebrates are parasitized by helminths, but many of these helminths probably remain undescribed, and little is known of their geographical distribution. Very little information is available on the incidence of the parasites, or their effect on the host.
