Rb56-181 Rate Of Potato Tuber Growth On Dryland At The Box Butte Experiment Farm, H.O. Werner
Rb56-181 Rate Of Potato Tuber Growth On Dryland At The Box Butte Experiment Farm, H.O. Werner
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Relatively late planting of potatoes, i.e., between June 12 and 25, has become the prevailing practice in the dryland areas of western Nebraska. Late planting distinctly improves the color and type of tubers, and reduces losses due to insects and diseases (especially soil-borne diseases caused by Fusarium and Streptomyces).
Beginning in 1937 and continuing to 1954 (in all except two years), potatoes growing with dryland culture at an altitude of 4,000 feet on the Box Butte Experiment Farm were harvested semimonthly to determine: time and rate of tuber growth; size of tubers produced by various dates; time and rate of …

Rb56-179 Comparative Measurements Of Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey, And Jersey Females From Birth To Seven Years, H.P. Davis, I.L. Hathaway

Body measurements are important for a proper understanding of how growth takes place in animals. Unfortunately, few growth data other than for weight have been published concerning dairy cattle.
This is a report of measurements of females in the University of Nebraska dairy herd made as part of a long-time growth study. During the period 1922 to 1942 each animal born into the herd was weighed and measured at regular intervals. Presented here are the data for weight, height, length, width, depth, girth and hide thickness for females of the Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey, and Jersey breeds. The average body measurements …
