Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today with the advent of an ever increasing industrialization, the importance of developing the skill, strength, and knowledge of the young people to meet the new age is recognized as never before.

In this thesis I have attempted to analyze one particularly important aspect of the problem of youth and employment. I have presented here a sociological analysis of part-time employment in the Louisville, Kentucky Senior High schools. It was my intention …

Accelerated Curing Of Superphosphate Fertilizer., Gus W. Leep

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Simultaneous drying of curing superphospate is shown to be of definite value in increasing the available P2O5 content. Raw superphosphate heated to 80 degrees C., and analysed after 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours of curing contained 16.92%, 19.67%, 20.66%, and 20.78% of available P2O5 respectively. For the same periods of time samples cured at room temperature contained 15.28%, 17.1%, 17.7%, and 18.82% of available P2O5. There was a larger amount of P2O5 available after 4 hours heating than after 48 hours at room temperature. This increase represented a 12:1 time-ratio in favor of the heated sample. …

A Study Of Some Factors Influencing Alfalfa Seed Production, John Harold Miller

The alfalfa seed producing areas of the United States, during the past decade, have become increasingly more limited and the chances of obtaining satisfactory seed yields have become more and more uncertain.

The Yielding Ability Of Bulked F2 Barley Crosses And Parents In Comparative Yield Trials, Walter Lowell Nelson Jan 1948

The Yielding Ability Of Bulked F2 Barley Crosses And Parents In Comparative Yield Trials, Walter Lowell Nelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Present methods of breeding new barley varieties are costly, laborious and lengthy. Populations from a cross are grown until they become homozygous before much selection by comparative yield trails can be made. The pedigree method limits the number of crosses that can be studied because of the large segregating populations necessary for the expression of desired gene combinations. Because of the enormous amount of work involved, it would be highly desirable for a plant breeder to work only with superior parental material. The capabilities of a plant breeder would be greatly increased by an method which would allow him to …

Some Effects Of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid On The Nitrogen And Carbohydrate Metabolism Of The Corn Plant, Clifford H. Hullinger Jan 1948

Some Effects Of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid On The Nitrogen And Carbohydrate Metabolism Of The Corn Plant, Clifford H. Hullinger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since the introduction of 2,4 - dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as an herbicide, considerable study has been given to the physiological action of this compound on various plants. Changes in metabolic rate have been reported by many workers (1,2,3). These changes have been measured by the respiration of tissue slices, by changes in the carbohydrate and nitrogen constituents of the plant, and by changes in the water content.

There has been considerable discussion in recent years concerning the educational proficiency of the eighth grade graduates of one-room rural schools as compared to that of the eighth grade graduates of independent town and consolidated schools as they enter our high schools. These discussions have not been limited to educational circles alone but have also interested members of the general public. In these discussions opinions are many and factors are few. Conclusions in the majority of cases are based on what the individual wishes to believe true, not what is actually true. In making a study of the above named …
