Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach Jun 1916

Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The object of experiments reported in this bulletin has been to determine principles according to which water is used by crops. In many agricultural districts, water is frequently a seriously limiting factor in crop production. It has been thought that some means might be devised through a correct understanding of the principles involved, whereby economy in the use of water in farm practice could be increased. In this effort there are two chief points of attack, namely, (1) adjusting the external factors to the needs of the plant, and (2) selecting plants adapted to the conditions.


The Colloidal Swelling Of Wheat Gluten In Relation To Milling And Baking, F. W. Upson, J. W. Calvin Jun 1916

The Colloidal Swelling Of Wheat Gluten In Relation To Milling And Baking, F. W. Upson, J. W. Calvin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Our experiments deal with the changes in hydration capacity of gluten under different conditions and were carried out by determining accurately the amount of water absorbed by gluten from solutions of varying concentrations of different acids, both with and without the presence of salts.


A Genetic Study Of Plant Height In Phaseolus Vulgaris, R. A. Emerson Mar 1916

A Genetic Study Of Plant Height In Phaseolus Vulgaris, R. A. Emerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

When pole and bush beans are crossed, 3:1 segregation results whether the pole bean is very tall or only medium in height and whether the bush bean is very short or relatively tall. To determine the interrelation of these two types of behavior by an analysis of the factors concerned in height of plants in beans and by a study of their mode of inheritance was the object of the investigations reported here.

A Brief Sketch Of The Life And Work Of Charles Edwin Bessey, Raymond J. Pool Dec 1915

A Brief Sketch Of The Life And Work Of Charles Edwin Bessey, Raymond J. Pool

Papers in Systematics and Biological Diversity

Charles Edwin Bessey, professor of botany and head of the department of botany in the University of Nebraska since 1884 and a conspicuous figure in American science and education, passed away at his home in Lincoln on February 25, 1915, after a critical illness of four weeks.

The Bessey family is of French extraction, the original form of the name being Besse. The tradition is that the early members of the family, who were Huguenots, were compelled on account of religious persecution to flee to England from the old home near Strassburg in Alsace. This exodus occurred in the latter …

Raising The Dairy Calf, E. G. Woodward Apr 1915

Raising The Dairy Calf, E. G. Woodward

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

There are in Nebraska more than 600,000 dairy cows. The average period of usefulness of the dairy caw is not more than eight years. This means that to maintain the dairy herds of Nebraska at their present size between 70,000 and 80,000 heifer calves must be raised each year. To mate these cows properly with dairy bred bulls will require the rearing of about 8,000 bulls yearly. Aside from the necessity of maintaining the herds at their present size, the importance of calf raising to the Nebraska dairyman lies in the fact that this is the surest and most satisfactory …

A Handbook Of Nebraska Grasses : With Illustrated Keys For Their Identification, Together With A General Account Of Their Structure And Economic Importance, E. Mead Wilcox, George K. K. Link, Venus W. Pool

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The true grasses belong to the one family Poaceae, often called Gramineae, and constitute a very well defined natural group of plants. This family comprises upward of 3,000 species distributed among almost 300 genera. From the economic point of view the family is of supreme importance thru the fact that here belong the cereals, which supply a large part of the food of man, and the forage grasses which are so important as feed for our domesticated animals.

The genera and species are for the most part separated by artificial characters—a fact which renders their study and identification extremely difficult …

In Defence Of The Professor Who Publishes, Alvin S. Johnson Jan 1915

In Defence Of The Professor Who Publishes, Alvin S. Johnson

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

At the present time, when our whole educational system is under criticism, it would be remarkable if any tendency in university life were to escape the searching scrutiny of laity and schoolmen. University ideals and university organization have been exploited in books and articles without number. Everybody has taken part in the work of defining the respective powers of president and board, of determining the scope of student self-government, and the appropriate relations of the university to the community at large. With these large problems discussed to the point of universal exhaustion, we may well turn our attention to others, …


The Renaissance, E. Benjamin Andrews Jan 1915

The Renaissance, E. Benjamin Andrews

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

In the early part of the fifteenth century a change as subtle and indefinable as it was significant, came over the spirit of European society. Without sharp break with the past, involving no strictly new creation, no sudden or unheralded revolution of ideas, gradually rose an altered mode of viewing man, the world, life-far less theological than the old, less respectful to tradition, more confident in man's powers and future-in fine, laic and human. Renewed study of classical antiquity was sign and instrument, rather than essence, of the new movement. If men looked back, it was mostly to clear their …
