Of all the plants of the earth the grasses are of the greatest use to the human race. To the grasses belong the cereals, sugarcane, sorghum, and the bamboos; and, since they furnish the bulk of the forage for domestic animals, the grasses are …

How To Make It: Rabbit Trap Is Easy To Build

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The rabbit trap described in this leaflet has proved satisfactory and is easy to build. It consists of a box with a drop door, held up by a projecting wire, one end of which is attached to a false floor or treadle. The weight of the rabbit on the treadle beyond the fulcrum pulls back the wire and releases the door.

An Ecological Study Of Helminths Of Some Wyoming Voles (Microtus Spp.) With A Description Of A New Species Of Nematospiroides (Heligmosomidae: Nematoda), Merle L. Kuns, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

An ecological and taxonomic study of the helminth parasites of voles (Microtus spp.) in the Jackson Hole region of Wyoming is reported.

Nematospiroides microti n. sp. from Microtus montanus nanus and M. richardsoni macropus is described and figured.

A cestode, Paranoplocephala infrequens, and a nematode, Syphacia obvelata, were generally distributed throughout the region in all habitats except the sage flats.

A trematode, Quinqueserialis hassalli, was recovered only from voles collected near streams at low altitudes. This was presumably due to the localized distribution of the molluscan intermediate host.

Four helminths, viz., Hymenolepis horrida, Heligmosomum costellatum …

Studies On Some North American Shrew Cestodes, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

In spite of the importance of the various species of shrews to the biotic community, several aspects of their ecology remain very incompletely known. The helminths parasitic in the more conspicuous small mammals in North America have been studied more or less completely, but those occurring in shrews have been largely disregarded. This situation is particularly inappropriate when one considers that shrews often constitute the most abundant mammalian group in a given area. We have attempted to secure an adequate amount of shrew helminth material for study, and it is the purpose of this paper to present observations resulting from …

A Contribution To The Study Of North American Strigeids (Trematoda), Robert L. Rausch, George Dubois

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The material upon which this study is based was collected in the states of Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and consisted entirely of avian parasites. The laboratory work was executed mainly at the Institut de Zoologie of the Université de Neuchâtel (Switzerland). We take this opportunity to thank Dr. Jean G. Baer for making available to us his material and working space.
Fourteen species have been identified, of which 7 are new: Strigea falconis Szidat, Diplostomum gavium (Guberlet), Strigea macroconophora n. sp., Diplostomum repandum n. sp., Apharyngostrigea cornu (Zeder), Mesoophorodiplostomum pricei (Krull), Apatemon gracilis (Rudolphi), Neodiplostomum buteonis n. sp., Cotylurus aquavis …

A New Genus Of Amphistome (Trematoda) From A Tasmanian Marine Fish, Harold W. Manter, Peter W. Crowcroft

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This paper describes a new genus of trematode collected by the junior author from the intestine of Dactylosargus arctidens Gill (kelp fish) from the southern coast of Tasmania. The trematode is an "amphistome" of unusual interest because of the peculiar character of the acetabulum which possesses a posterior pore as well as a ventral opening.

Extension Circular 1557 discusses evergreen bagworms.

The Species Concept: A Semantic Review, Benjamin H. Burma

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

In some respects, it is extremely unfortunate that names are ever attached either to ideas or objects. The false attachment of names to ideas or objects similar but not identical with the original can work harm far exceeding the benefits conferred by having a convenient label. The name "species" has come to such a state. As we shall see, a species, be it plant or animal, is a fiction, a mental construct without objective existence. Animal, and plant, lines of descent exist in a four-dimensional continuum. To set up species in this continuous line of descent, we must chop it …

Effect Of Storage Temperatures On Triumph Seed Potatoes Used For The Early Crop In The South And In Central Nebraska, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During the decade 1931-1940 it became increasingly apparent that some factor (or factors) besides disease was responsible for much of the variation in yields produced by lots of certified seed potatoes planted in commercial fields and comparative trial plots in the South during midwinter. This bulletin reports investigations into the method of storing western Nebraska seed potatoes as a means of improving the production of the early crop of Triumphs in the Gulf Coast States.

The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The primary purpose of this paper is to summarize investigations concerning the structure and reproduction of the corn plant (Zea mays L.). Because of wide interest in the reproductive process in connection with breeding and genetic studies the floral development, fertilization, and embryology are especially stressed. The morphology and development of the vegetative organs is also included. The botanical relationship, origin, genetics and breeding of corn are briefly considered.

Liquid Loss From Glass Jars Processed In The Pressure Cooker, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Home canners and extension home economists have inquired frequently why much liquid is sometimes lost from glass jars of food processed in the pressure cooker. At an extension service Home Canning Research Conference held at Kansas City, December, 1946, state extension agents requested research on this home canning problem, because no published reports were available. This bulletin is a report of experiments with glass jars processed in a pressure cooker to determine (1) conditions that allow much liquid to be expelled from jars, (2) conditions that reduce liquid loss to a negligible amount, and (3) the physical conditions involved in …

Observations Of The Life Cycle And Larval Development Of Paruterina Candelabraria (Goeze, 1782) (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Paruterina candelabraria (Goeze, 1782) is parasitic in owls in Europe and North America, and appears to be the most frequently encountered cestode occurring in strigiform birds (Wolffhugel, 1900; Rausch, 1948). It is the purpose of this paper to present observations on the larval development and life cycle of P. candelabraria. Apparently nothing is known concerning the life cycles of cestodes of the genus Paruterina Fuhrmann, 1906, most of which occur in passeriform birds.

The Occurrence Of Contracaecum Travassosi (Nematoda) In North America [Research Notes], Banner Bill Morgan, Robert L. Rausch, Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Seven specimens of a nematode (five males and two females) of the genus Contracaecum were collected from the ventriculus of Pandion haliaetus carolinensis (Gmelin) (osprey) captured at Greenville, Ohio. After a comparison with C. travassosi described by Gutierrez (1943. Sobre la morfología de una nueva especie de "Contracaecum" (Nematoda: Ascaroidea) Rev. Brasil. Biol. 3: 159-172) from the cormorant (Phalacrocorax albiventer) collected at the San Jose light-house, Territory of Chubut, Argentina, our material has been assigned to that species. So far as the writers have been able to determine, this is the first record of the species …

A Filter Paper "Chromatopile", Herschel Mitchell, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The application of one- and two-dimensional paper chromatography to the separation of small amounts of many kinds of compounds has become a well-established and useful technique (1, 2, 3, 5, 6). In general these methods do not handle sufficiently large quantities of materials for isolation and chemical identification. Large columns of starch and other materials have been used satisfactorily for handling larger quantities of mixtures (4). Starch columns proved to be unsatisfactory, how- ever, for isolation of certain substances under investigation in this laboratory. As a consequence, a new and simple apparatus and technique have been developed, using …

Quantitative Study Of Root Systems In Different Soil Types, J. E. Weaver, R. W. Darland

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Study of soil-root relations of various crop plants and range grasses has lagged far behind the pressing need for an understanding of these relationships. Little progress in devising new methods for such study, at least methods that have been widely used in the field, has been made since the extensive researches by the direct method, using trench and hand pick, employed by Weaver (1, 2) during the period 1919 to 1926. This lack of a quantitative approach to comparative root studies in various soil types has undoubtedly been a chief reason for the dearth of more definite information on this …

Signal Corps Technical Intelligence, A Brief History, Chester A. Hall Capt., Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

At the time that this was written, technical intelligence was intelligence about foreign weapons and equipment and about organizations in foreign armies analogous to the technical services. The modern US Army vision of the technical intelligence developed during World War II. The army technical services became responsible for technical intelligence. The technical services were bureaus which supplied weapons, equipment, and services to the army, managed the careers of officers in a particular branch, trained specialists, and organized and trained special purpose military units. There were a number of technical services including the Chemical Warfare Service, the Medical Department, the Ordnance …
