The Differential Reaction Of Strains Within A Variety Of Wheat To Physiologic Forms Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici, T. A. Kiesselbach, George L. Peltier

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Black stem rust of wheat (Puccinia graminis tritici (Pers.) Erikss. & Henn.), which occurs in Nebraska and thruout most of the wheat producing regions of the world, is of a composite nature, in that it consists of a number of physiologic forms which can be determined by their action on different varieties of Triticum species, as shown by Stakman and Levine. The ordinary commercial variety of wheat may likewise be regarded as a mixture, in that it consists of numerous strains, which differ in some more or less important characteristics, as has been frequently indicated in the literature concerning …

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 Ascaris lumbricoides [roundworm], 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.

Ec129 Profitable Wheat Production, P. H. Stewart, D. L. Gross

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

More profitable wheat production, rather that greater total production in Nebraska, is the object of this Extension circular 129. the grower who has the largest acreage of wheat does not necessarily make the greatest profit. High yields per acre usually mean a lower cost and a great profit per bushel. Wheat of high quality brings additional profits. High yield and quality are usually the combines 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.

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 Preparation Of Laboratory Specimens As An Aid To The Diagnosis Of Animal Diseases, L. Van Es, L. V. Skidmore

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Many problems in connection with animal diseases require for their solution the application of methods which can only be undertaken in properly equipped laboratories. This ordinarily involves the collection, packing, and shipping of samples of specimens. The manner in which this is done is a most important factor and to a very large extent is responsible either for the success or for the failure of the undertaking. The discussion of the subject to which the following pages are devoted is taken in hand in the hope that it may provide guidance to the veterinarians and others who may have occasion …

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 …
