Geology Of The Eagle Ford Quadrangle, Dallas County, Texas, William Louis Turner

Field and Laboratory

The Eagle Ford quadrangle includes an area of 62 square miles in western Dallas County. It is bounded by the parallels 32°45'00" and 32°52'30" N, and by the meridians 96°52'30" and 97°00'00" W. The towns of Irving and Eagle Ford are in the area, as are portions of Grand Prairie and Arcadia Park. A network of paved highways and graveled roads makes most of the quadrangle readily accessible by automobile. Physiographically, this area is part of the Black Prairie, a province of low relief in which the landscape has been largely shaped by running water. West and Elm forks of …

Notes On The Turbellarian, Procotyla Fluviatilis Leidy, John Maxwell Anderson

Field and Laboratory

The observations here briefly presented should help solve a question in the literature, regarding the cocoon of Procotyla fluviatilis. The results also indicate that the breeding season of this species may be longer than heretofore reported. A few additional observations on the young worms, and on food habits of the adult are also included.

Chagas Disease And Vectors In North Central Texas, Joe C. Elkins

Field and Laboratory

All members of the large hemipterous family Reduviidae are predacious, but only members of the subfamily Triatominae feed exclusively on vertebrate blood. Readio (1927) noted that Mr. J. R. Lembert observed the common Pacific Coast species of Triatoma feeding on carrion and excrement. Lutz (1918) reported that Triatoma sanguisuga LeConte feeds on insects, including grasshoppers and potato beetles. Apparently neither of the above accounts illustrate normal feeding habits.

Ecological Studies In A Midwestern Range: The Vegetation And Effects Of Cattle On Its Composition And Distribution, J. E. Weaver, G. W. Tomanek

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

There is continued need for a better understanding of range vegetation and its use by range animals. Range preservation and improvement in the midwest are largely matters of wise use and proper management of our natural grasslands. A more comprehensive understanding of the range itself is needed--its forage, soil, and water supply, and factors influencing a proper distribution of livestock. The degree of utilization of forage that will result in the maintenance of excellent or good range condition and the improvement of a range in fair condition should be ascertained. Soil conservation on range lands is accomplished primarily by improvement …

Weed Control In Lawns And Gardens, Leonard L. Schrader, Soloman Cook

SDSU Extension Circulars

Weeds. are a problem in the city, small town and around the farm home, just as they are a problem in pastures, hay lands and tilled fields. Wherever weeds grow, they are an unsightly and expensive nuisance. In the vacant or untended lots m town, weeds become the source of seed that will spread to surrounding gardens, lawns and farm fields. Hampered vision at intersections, caused by rank-growing weeds, has contributed to many traffic accidents. In addition, they sap the soil's fertility, which probably is sent up in smoke when the weeds are burned in the fall. In gardens, they …

The Female Genitalia And Spermathecae Of Some Of The Rhynchophora, Herman O. Sanders

Theses and Dissertations

In this study of the genitalia and spermathecae of the Rhynohophora, eighty-two species, representing sixty genera, were examined as listed in Leng's Catalogue of Coleoptera of North America North of Mexico, together with seven species from the Phillippine Islands and one from China. By using the external female genitalia and spermathecae the Rhynochophora studied may be divided into eight and possibly nine well-defined groups. They are separated into these groups on the basis of the development of the nodulus and ramus and upon the degree of crenulation that occurs in the spermatheca. The spermatheca of all species studied has been …
