Censusing Pheasants By Detonations, H. Elliot Mcclure

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

A study of the ecology and management of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus c. torquatus) was begun in Nebraska in the spring of 1941. Prime among the objectives of the survey was to devise some method by which the populations could be estimated or counted. In conjunction with roadside counts as practiced in Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, attempts were made to derive a closer estimate than by that method. Every game technician working with roadside counts of pheasants realizes the difficulties involved. Having had success in estimating the numbers of mourning doves by counting their calls …

On Certain Arithmetical Functions Due To G. Humbert, M. A. Basoco

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

G. Humbert has discussed, in a series of brief notes, a certain class of entire functions with interesting arithmetical properties. These functions are defined, in an essentially unique manner, by certain functional equations. The Fourier series representations of the solutions of these equations are similar in form to those for the elliptic functions snu, cnu, dnu, and so on. They differ from these, however, in that their domain of validity extends throughout the entire complex plane (Z_∞ excluded) and moreover, in that their arithmetized forms involve incomplete numerical functions of the divisors of an integer.
In the …

Effects Of Drought, Dust, And Intensity Of Grazing On Cover And Yield Of Short-Grass Pastures, F. W. Albertson, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The vast range lands of western Kansas occupy approximately one half of that area. They are now recovering from the terrible destruction wrought by overgrazing, drought, and dust-burial during the past decade. Since grass is man's most powerful ally in soil and water conservation, since pastures are tremendously important as the cheapest and most satisfactory feed for cattle, and since the recovery of the western range is not only an economic problem of great importance but a phenomenon of outstanding ecological interest, the redevelopment of the plant cover warrants careful investigation.

External Parasites Of Poultry And Methods For Their Control, O. S. Bare

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

External parasites cause severe losses to Nebraska poultry producers each year, and in many cases may be the deciding factor between success and failure. Under present circumstances, when maximum production is essential, prompt and effective measures must be taken to hold these saboteurs in check.

The Poet Bland And Sixteen Specimen Poems, Martin Severin Peterson

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

The only appeal that needs to be made for the poet, Henry Meade Bland, is that he deserves to be better known. The shadow of obscurity has fallen upon a number of our American regional poets and their places in the sun usurped by practitioners of the more currently popular forms of literature. When interest in poetry some day revives, it will be useful to have a record of the poets who responded to their surroundings because of an inward urge to sing. Some of the truly indigenous literature of our own and earlier times is to be found in …

Controlling Stored-Grain Pests On Nebraska Farms, H. D. Tate, D. B. Whelan

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Warfare against destructive insects is not ended when grain has been placed in the bin. Here it is subject to attack by stored-grain pests which reduce its weight, feeding quality, and value for seed. These losses become especially serious when large stocks of grain are held for extended periods on farms and in warehouses. This circular describes methods available for handling and storage that will prevent or suppress infestations before they reach serious proportions.

The Use Of Dried Whey And Blood Meal In The Raising Of Calves On Limited Amounts Of Milk, I. L. Hathaway, G. W. Trimberger, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The use of substitutes for milk in the raising of calves is always of interest to the progressive dairyman, since there are a number of circumstances in which it is advantageous to reduce the milk feeding period. Producers of market milk often desire to raise their calves on as little milk as possible in order to have more milk available for market. When the demand for milk is good, dairymen who usually market cream only may prefer to sell milk and raise their calves on starters or other milk substitutes. Dairy farmers may wish to use the skim milk generally …

Replacement Of True Prairie By Mixed Prairie In Eastern Nebraska And Kansas, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Destruction of a portion of one plant association and its replacement by another has just been completed. This has occurred not as the result of man's interference with the vegetation nor the effect of his grazing animals. It has been due to a dry climatic cycle and has been accomplished within a period of seven years. The scene of action was the broad area on the western edge of true prairie in central Kansas, eastern Nebraska, and eastern South Dakota. It is distinctly east of the mixed prairie in the central portion of these states. Although the phenomenon was general …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Bindweed, which is easily recognized by its creeping, entwining habit of growth, is Nebraska's most destructive weed because of its effect on crop plants. Its total annual cost to the agricultural industry of the state is several million dollars, which ultimately affects all those citizens who depend directly or indirectly upon income from agriculture.

Fishes Of The Middle West, Rachel L. Carson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The waters of the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes are a potential source of several hundred million pounds of food in the form of tasty lake and river fishes. This rich resource of the inland waters is important to a nation at war. Because of the growing meat shortage, people will eat more fish than in pre-war years. In the interior of the country, people will eat more fresh-water fish than before, because fish are good and nutritious and because, in the coming months, the shipments of rosefish, halibut, shrimp, and other seafoods that come to them from the …
