Bulletin No. 344 - The Nutritive Value Of Range Forage As Affected By Vegetation Type, Site, And State Of Maturity, C. Wayne Cook, Lorin E. Harris

UAES Bulletins

Native ranges of Utah are extremely heterogeneous. Pronounced variations exist in soil, seasonal rainfall, temperatures, and altitude on most grazing areas. Rough topography and micro-climates on even individual grazing allotments present variable vegetation types and site conditions. Such variations account for the comparatively large number of species and variable nutritive content found in range forage.

Methods Of Fiber And Paraffin Recovery From Waste Waxed Paper, Donald L. Huyser

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Waxed paper is being used more and more every day in many ways. Its principle purposes are as wrappers or containers either to keep moisture out or in. Its uses vary from bread wrappers and drinking cups to metal parts wrappers.

For the most part, after the paper is used for its original purpose it is discarded and not salvaged like other waste paper. Also at the wax coating mills, the broke cannot be reworked with fresh stock. In most cases it is taken out and burned - not only being a total waste of stock but also a waste …

Progressive Development And Seasonal Variations Of The Corn Crop, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The chief purpose of these studies has been to determine the normal growth changes that occur in the corn plant at successive intervals when growing in the field, and to observe annual yield variations in relation to prevailing weather conditions. Aside from supplying information regarding the physiology of this crop, the data are of interest to the corn grower because they indicate comparative yields, shelling percentages, moisture contents, and feed constituents at various stages of development. Some data also are presented concerning the effects of frost, drouth, day length, and the economic value of tillers and seminal roots.

A Comparative Study Of The Osteology And Myology Of The Thoracic Limb Of The Pocket Gopher And Kangaroo Rat, Leland R. Allen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the morphological differences in the osteology and musculature of the thoracic limb of the pocket gopher and kangaroo rat. This was accomplished by first, collection of specimens, second, the preservation and preparation of bones and muscles tor study and illustration, third, sketching and photograph­ing the sketches, fourth, noting and recording origins and insertions as well as any differences in the modification of anatomy with relation to habitat requirements. These two closely related families, Geomyide and Heteromyidae, show great morphological differences. Comparative volumetric measurements show that the forelimb of the pocket gopher is …

Observations On A Cyclic Decline Of Lemmings (Lemmus) On The Arctic Coast Of Alaska During The Spring Of 1949, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The importance to the biotic community of various species of lemmings in arctic and subarctic regions has long been recognized, but there is little known about the ecology of these mammals. of the two species that occur on the Arctic Slope of Alaska, namely, the collared lemming, Dicrostonyx groenlandicus rubricatus (Richardson), and the brown lemming, Lemmus trimucronatus alascensis Merriam, during the spring of 1949 the writer had the good fortune to observe a cyclic decline in the population of the brown lemming on the Arctic Coast of Alaska. Observations were made during the peak density preceding this decline and were …

Farmer's 1950 Income Tax, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Every person whose gross income during the year is $600 or more MUST file a return even though no tax is due. Gross income is total income (subject to tax) before any expenses are deducted. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming and your business year starts January 1, you have two choices. Either, (a) File your return and pay the tax on or before January 31, 1951; or (b) File an estimate of your tax and pay this amount by January 15, 1951, then file your return and pay any balance due by March 15, …

Osteology Of The Skull Of Phrynosoma Cornutum (Harlan), Arthur J. Detrie

Field and Laboratory

The horned lizard, Phrynosoma cornutum, was first desscribed by Harlan as Agama cornuta; in 1831, J. E. Gray transferred the species to the genus Phrynosoma. Much work has been done on the species. Many of the references to Phrynosoma cornutum are of a taxonomic nature, while references to its morphology are few and the material in the papers is scant. Description of the osteology of the skull are lacking.

Origin Of The Clastic Dikes In The Rockwall Area, Texas, John Napier Monroe

Field and Laboratory

Since the first of many elastic dikes was discovered near Rockwall, Texas, in 1851, their origin has been a subject of much controversy. Various observers have attributed them to the work of ancient man, igneous activity, marine sedimentation, and upward injection from parent layers of sandstone.

The True Clovers (Trifolium) Of Texas, Joe F. Hennen

Field and Laboratory

In Texas the true clovers do not represent a group of as much economic importance as the bur clovers (Medicago) and the sweet clovers (Melilotus). Trifolium repens, however, is widely grown in lawns and pastures. The native species, especially T. amphianthum, are of some value in pastures in the eastern half of the state. According to herbarium records, true clovers are lacking in the Panhandle and Southern Plains regions of Texas, and only one species is reported from the Trans-Pecos. It is likely, however, that introduced species do grow in these sections.

The Trichoptera Or Caddis Flies Of Dallas County, Texas, Clarence C. Hall Jr.

Field and Laboratory

Major contributions to our knowledge of American Trichoptera have been made (1934-47) by H. H. Ross, Cornelius Betten, and D. G. Denning. Their investigations, while concentrated in the eastern states, included some of the central states. Betten's work (1934) has been the basis for many recent studies. We know little, however, of the distribution of this order in Texas, even though it occurs abundantly in waters of the State. Most of the records for Texas were made in 1939 by H. H. Ross. In his report (1944), he recorded seven families and thirty species from Texas, ten of which were …

Farm Building Plans, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Buildings are a necessary part of each farm unit. They are used to provide shelter and facilities for farm family living, to house livestock, for storage and processing of food and feed, and for utility storage or service. Most farm buildings are designed to be used for many years. A carefully planned, well-located building carefully adapted to the use for which it is intended, is a profitable investment and a source of satisfaction. On the other hand, a poorly planned and improperly built structure may prove both costly and unsatisfactory. Every building on the farm represents a longtime investment and …
