To make the study more complete …

Some Ecological Aspects Of Agriculture In The Prairie, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

It is of more than passing interest that the cereal crops, namely: corn, spring and winter wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, and millet, have their center of greatest production in that portion of the United States originally covered by grassland. In fact, some are grown almost entirely in the grassland region, and other crops, as alfalfa and flax, which are similar in growth habits to wild legumes, wild flaxes, etc., growing among the grasses, also have their greatest acreage in grassland. Likewise, the largest areas of fruit production, including such tree fruits as apples, peaches, pears, and bush fruits as blackberries, …

The Immediate Effect Of Gametic Relationship And Of Parental Type Upon The Kernel Weight Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This investigation to determine the relation of the kernel weight of corn to the source of pollen with which it was fertilized has been made to answer several questions of both practical and technical interest: (1) To what extent is kernel weight affected in the current crop by the "breadth of breeding" or the gametic relationship? (2) What is the relation of the diversity of parental type to the immediate effect of foreign pollen upon the kernel weight of corn? (3) Is the immediate effect of cross-fertilization upon the kernel weight of sufficient importance to justify the annual mixing of …

Alfalfa Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach, Arthur Anderson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The purpose of these alfalfa investigations has been to determine the relation of variety, source of seed, and cultural practice to the yield and quality of hay produced. Due to the high initial cost of seeding, the inconvenience and wastefulness of losing a stand prematurely, and the superiority of properly-made hay, an understanding of these relationships is very important.

Studies On The Ascaris Lumbricoides, H. M. Martin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The Ascaris lumbricoides, in one phase or another, has attracted the attention of parasitologists for many years, and during the last decade this parasite has been studied by a large number of investigators. The recent observations have been, to a great extent, directed along one line, the study of its life history. These investigators have established two important points: (a) That the life history of Ascaris is more complex than was supposed, as it has been found that a vasculo-pulmonary circuit of the larvae is necessary before they settle down in the intestine, where they develop to the adult …

The Segregation Of Carbohydrates In Crosses Between Waxy And Starchy Types Of Maize, T. A. Kiesselbach, N. F. Petersen

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this paper is to report the Mendelian segregation of waxy and starchy carbohydrates in both the sporophytic and gametophytic generations of maize. This is of especial genetic interest because the counts of segregate waxy kernels have very commonly been short of the expected numbers, although this character appears to be a simple Mendelian recessive. Collins (1909) was the first to point out the physical difference in the endosperm of waxy and ordinary starchy varieties.

While the exact difference in their chemical nature has not been established, Weatherwax (1922) considered that the waxy carbohydrate was erythrodextrin because of …

Turkey Production, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Whatever problems turkey production presents, lack of demand for roast turkey is not at this time one of them. Turkeys rate so high in popular esteem that very rarely indeed do prices fall below that of dressed chickens and usually the best grades are 12 to 15 cents per pound higher during the holiday season. The world of commerce has become quite complex but the consuming public still has one clear way of speaking to producers. In the language of the dollar we are apparently being asked to raise more turkeys.

The Natural Vegetation Of Ohio. Iii. Plant Succession, Paul B. Sears

Papers in Ecology

In the preceding papers of this series (1) it has been shown that within the glaciated area the physiographic results of glaciation offer the best general key to the pattern of natural vegetation. The results of glaciation, in turn, have been largely influenced by preglacial conditions.

In analyzing the composition of the natural vegetation of Ohio certain groups of associations were distinguished, to wit, Prairie, Ash, Oak, and Beech. Each group includes several related classical associations as described by Cowles (2) and others.

The Spindle-Tuber Disease As A Factor In Seed Potato Production, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The lines of experimentation that supplied the data herein reported, stated in very general terms, were as follows: (1) Tuber-line selection studies (2) Relation of environmental conditions to seed-potato production (3) Seed-potato strain trials of certified and uncertified stock (4) Spindle-tuber transmission experiments. Most of these general lines of experimentation will not be completely discussed as a unit in any one part of the bulletin. For the sake of clarity, consecutive thought, and elimination of repetition, data will be selected from any experiment for insertion and discussion under the most logical heading in any part of the bulletin. Unless otherwise …

The Natural Vegetation Of Ohio Ii. The Prairies, Paul B. Sears

Papers in Ecology

It is well known that many treeless areas existed in Ohio before white settlement. These areas, of various ecological character and usually restricted in size, were in a few cases fairly extensive—embracing from fifty to one hundred square miles. The term "prairie" was rather generally applied to them, although more exact terms were not wanting. Like the various forest associations, these treeless areas have played an important role in influencing industrial and cultural phases of human life in Ohio (1). The present paper is an attempt to reconstruct such areas, now destroyed or obscured by secondary successions induced by white …

Distribution And Structure Of The Forests Of Eastern Nebraska, John M. Aikman

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

This paper is a study of the distribution and structure of the forests of extreme eastern Nebraska. The Missouri river, which forms the eastern boundary of the state, has so greatly modified the climate, that along its course an arm of the deciduous forest extends far into the grassland. Most of the trees and shrubs composing this forest are at the extreme western limit of their range. The range, grouping, and behavior of the several dominants and subdominants, under the environmental conditions imposed upon them, and the transition of forest to grassland are the subjects of this investigation. This region …

Directory Of Certain Alumni The Department Of Geology And Geography The University Of Nebraska, E. F. Schramm

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

In the Department of Geology and Geography, The University of Nebraska, there have been over 10,000 registrants between the years 1891 and 1926. So many inquiries have been received concerning alumni and their addresses that it seems advisable to publish this directory. The list is necessarily incomplete since many of the alumni have not informed the Department respecting their addresses and change of positions. Out of the total number of those who have pursued professional vocations the following have kept in close touch with the Department.

Ec26-129 Profitable Wheawt Production, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

More profitable wheat production, rather than greater total production in Nebraska, is the object of this circular. The grower who has the largest acreage of wheat does not necessarily make the greatest profit. High yields per acre usually means a lower cost and a great profit per bushel. Wheat of high quality brings additional profits. High yield and quality are usually the combined result of good seed, disease prevention, crop rotations, a well-prepared seed bed, the proper time of seeding, and reasonable care in harvesting, threshing and storing.
