Bulletin No. 341 - Rambouillet And Columbia-Rambouillet Lambs On The Range And In The Feed Lot, T. Donald Bell, Milton A. Madsen, James A. Bennett, Louis L. Madsen, D. Clarence Schmultz

UAES Bulletins

Sheep of predominately Rambouillet breeding have been most popular on southern Utah ranges because of their hardiness and wool-producing ability. In the early years of sheep production in Utah a major portion of the income was derived from the sale of wool. This situation has gradually changed over the past years and now income from the sale of lambs is greater than that from fleeces. Rambouillet rams with improved mutton qualities have been used by some range operators to increase the mutton producing abilities of their ewes. Other operators have used Corriedale, Panama, Columbia, and other white faced crossbred-type rams …

Effect Of Stubble Mulching On Number And Activity Of Earthworms, S. P. Teotia, F. L. Duley, T. M. Mccalla

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A survey of earthworm population under different cropping systems was made under stubble mulch farming and where the residue was plowed under. The influence of earthworms on some of the important physical and biological properties of the soil was studied. Their role in the decomposition of crop residues was also determined.

Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.

The Growth-Promoting Properties Of Quinic Acid, Malcom Gordon, Francis A. Haskins, Herschel Mitchell

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Evidence is accumulating that there is a common metabolic precursor to many of the benzene ring derivatives found in living organisms. Recent work by Davis and Tatum indicates that one such precursor is the naturally occurring shikimic acid (Fig. 1) since this compound serves as a growth factor for certain mutants of Escherichia coli and Neurospora which otherwise require a combination of tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and p-aminobenzoic acid for growth. These mutants cannot utilize the closely related, naturally occurring quinic acid (Fig. 1) as a substitute for any of their requirements.

Bulletin No. 340 - Adult Honey Bee Losses In Utah As Related To Arsenic Poisoning, G. F. Knowlton, A. P. Sturtevant, C. J. Sorenson

UAES Bulletins

During 1947 the 55,000 colonies of honey bees in Utah produced approximately $545,000 worth of marketable honey and beeswax. In addition they pollinated most of the fruit, alfalfa seed, various vegetable and other seed crops. By 1949 the price of honey had declined to where the crop of honey and beeswax was worth $253,000, produced by 49,000 colonies of bees. The value of bees in Utah as pollinating agents to fruit and seed crops greatly exceeds the income received by beekeepers from bee products sold. Because agriculture receives such great benefit from bees, it seems reasonable that farmers who are …

The Influence Of Crop Plants On Those Which Follow V, Theodore Eugene Odland, Robert Smith Bell, John B. Smith

Special Collections (Miscellaneous)

This is a study of the effect which crop plants have on the growth and yields of those crops which follow. The study began in 1907; this bulletin reports the results from 1930 to 1942. Millet, mangels and rutabagas generally seem to be harmful to crops which follow them. Carrots, mangels and millet were least favorable of all crops to mangels. Potatoes did poorest when following potatoes, rutabagas, or millet. Rutabagas yielded low following rutabagas, mangels and millet. Onions were unfavorably affect by preceding crops of mangels, cabbage, or rutabagas. There is no simple explanation for the effect of crops …

A Preliminary Note On Trichinosis Investigations In Alaska, P. J. Brandly, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Trichinosis in the arctic regions of the world has received considerable attention during recent years, particularly since the work of Roth (1948) in Greenland. In Connell's (1949) review of arctic trichinosis some Alaskan and Canadian records were included but, until now, little has been known of the status of the disease in Alaska. Information available at the present time indicates that the incidence of trichinosis is high in circumpolar carnivores and that marine mammals have a definite place in its epizootiology. Present knowledge cannot explain the survival of trichinosis in marine mammal populations, but it is evident that they may …

Studies On The Reactivating Sclerotium Of Physarella Oblong Morgan With Special Reference To The Nucleus, William Thomas Allman

Master's Theses

The Myxomycetes, because of their naked, mobile mass of protoplasm have served biologists and chemists as material for the study of the char­acteristics of protoplasm. The typical life his­ tory of such an organism may be summarized as follows: The vegetative phase in the life history consists of a naked mass of protoplasm, to which Oienkowski (9) applied the name "plasmodium". This plasmodium creeps by reversible streaming over and throughout the substratum, deriving its food from various constituents of decaying vegetable matter which serve as its normal substrate. Upon reaching a state of maturity and under certain environmental conditions, the …
