Irrigation And Drainage Problems In Uruguay, Jerald Emmet Christiansen

Reports

Synopsis: Uruguay irrigates about 65,000 acres, mostly rice (74%) and sugar cane (15%). Summer rainfall averages about 3.5 in. per month, but frequent droughts seriously affect both crops and livestock. Irrigation can be increased by storage in small reservoirs on tributary streams by means of low earth dams. Some areas will require flood control and draiange before intensive agriculture can be practiced.

Habitat Distribution Of Small Mammals In The Clifton Basin Franklin County, Idaho, Douglas Bruce Mchenry

Biology

Mammalogists are becoming increasingly interested in the problems of population dynamics of small mammals. Most species of small mammals show characteristic preferences for certain habitats distinguished by vegetational types. These preferences affect the distribution and abundance of the animal populations. Thus, investigations of the responses of small mammal populations to vegetational types contribute to a greater understanding of population dynamics. Small mammals also respond to seasonal changes in vegetation which influence population distribution and abundance.

Serum Protein Changes In Calves Experimentally Infected With Haemonchus Placei And Ostertagia Ostertagi, Ferron L. Andersen

Biology

Parasitism as an advers factor in the production of marketable livestock has long been a matter of considerable interest. Two of the most common internal parasites of cattle in the United States are Haemonchus placei (large stomach worm or wire worm) and Ostertagia ostertagi (medium stomach worm). The symptoms produced by these parasitic roundworms are marked anemia, unthriftiness, edema and general emaciation of the host animal. As in many other parasitic diseases the losses incurred are of the type which are hard to evaluate, but recent estimates relative to losses due to parasitism in cattle and sheep in the United …

Studies In Experimental Evolution, William Sidney Boyle

Faculty Honor Lectures

The Principle of organic evolution is the most fundamental one yet discovered in the sciences concerned with the nature and origin of living things. During the one hundred years which have elapsed since Darwin's explanation of the mechanisms of evolution a great deal has been learned to supplement his theory. Nevertheless, students of evolution universally acknowledge the significance of his profound contributions. The importance of natural selection as a creative force in evolution is inescapable.

The present discussion is chiefly concerned with techniques which the writer has used to accelerate, or at least to manipulate, the evolutionary processes. It may …

How The Curricula Of The Special Navajo Programs Meet The Needs Of The Students At The Intermountain School In Regard To Their Use Of Alcoholic Beverages, C. Stewart Munz

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Straddling the Continental Divide, from the Chuska Mountains t o the San Juan and Little Colorado rivers, mostly in Arizona, but partly in New Mexico and Utah, lies 23,574 square miles of desert; home to the estimated 75 to 90 thousand Navajo Indians. Unable to more than eke out a bare existence in a barren land where almost 30 acres of range are needed to sustain one sheep, unprepared after generations of isolation and neglect to leave this reservation for areas where a decend standard of living can be had, the Navajos, since 1950, have been the object of a …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

They learned something of our American way of life and enjoyed it enough to want to share in it. They knew that to be able to compete with others they would have to get an education and be able to speak English. When these veterans and defense workers returned to the reservation after the war, they started a movement to get the children into school. This movement grew until 91 percent of all school age children were in school in 1957 compared with 32 percent in 1945 when the movement started.

Analysis Of Selected Problems Of Home Management House Students, Alta Geniel Mcconkie

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Traditionally, home economics majors and foods and nutrition majors in most colleges and universities have been able to bring their professional theoretical background to a climax with a practical living experience. This has been the policy at Utah State University, fulfilled in Household Administration, Course No. 150. Although the students entering this course are products of different backgrounds and cultural habits, it is assumed that their common home economics background in the University would allow them to manage a home efficiently. For many, however, this living experience requires a substantial adjustment. In some cases this experience of residence in the …

Self Evaluation Of A Selected Group Of Teen Marriages, Margaret L. Stone

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The statistical trend toward an increasing number of early marriages in the United States is causing concern for parents and community officials (21). The average age of marriage has been declining since 1890. Half of the girls are now married by the time they are twenty and half of the men by the time they are twenty-three (13). In a study made by Landis (20) of marriages in California high schools, 90 percent of the senior high schools reported one or more student marriages. Similar statistics have been reported in New Mexico (16) and Oregon (18). Research has pointed an …

Effects Of A Specific Developmental Reading Program Upon The Progress In Reading Of Seventh Grade Students Of Morgan High School, Raymond P. Larson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Our civilization depends in great measure on the reading process and there is a need for attaining greater skill in reading. Being able to read well has become one criteria for measuring the extent of a person's education. Every year seems to increase the reading demands made upon students as well as adults. Reading was one of the three R's that made up the curriculum of the early schools in our country. Reach (1955) states that in our society all children are not only privilaged, but most of them are required to spend many years in school, and the curriculum …

Influence Of Moisture And Nitrogen Levels And Harvest Interval On Water Requirement Of Two Genotypes Of Orchardgrass, William W. Wagner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the semi-arid west, moisture is often the limiting factor in plant growth. High crop production is dependent upon rainfall and supplemental moisture supplied through irrigation. Plants for these areas, which are most efficient in use of water, other things being equal, would be more desirable.

Hydrogen Bonding Between The Carbonyl Group And Wyoming Bentonite, Robert A. Kohl

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The vibrational frequencies of atom to atom bonds within a molecule are a function of the bond energies. Each bond has its characteristic frequency, and most of these frequencies can be detected with the infrared spectrophotometer. When one compound reacts with another or is adsorbed on the surface of a solid, detectable frequency changes or shifts may occur. These changes or shifts yield valuable information about the bonds which are formed or broken.

Studies On The Relationship Of Moisture Content To Threshability And Viability Of Pea Seeds, Filixberto Roquia Y Dulalas

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

When in commercial practice seed peas (Pisum sativum) are harvested, the vines are cut and windrowed or bunched and allowed to cure for a week or longer, depending upon the moisture content of the crop and weather conditions. The sooner the crop can be threshed, the less is the chance of loss caused by rain and the often-necessary attendant operation of turning the windrow or bunch to facilitate drying. In general, growers wait until the vines, pods, and seeds are quite dry. To what extent this is necessary is not known.

A Study Of The Optional Seven Period Day As It Is Operating At Logan High School, Boyd L. Applegarth
