The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. X. A Comparison Of Open-Pollinated And Hybrid Corn In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effect of replacing the open-pollinated corn with hybrid corn in an otherwise complete ration was studied in a growth and body analysis experiment with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. The pelleted rations were consumed in identical amounts by all chicks of both lots. 3. There were significant differences in the growth rate of the chicks at the end of a six-weeks feeding trial in favor of the lot fed open-pollinated corn.

Annual Increase Of Underground Materials In Three Range Grasses, J. E. Weaver, Ellen Zink

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Any thoughtful student who has seen the mellow, granular, fiber-filled soil of virgin midwestern prairie and the same soil that has been cropped with maize or wheat for only a decade has cause for deep concern. For the cropped soil has lost its mellowness, the granular structure of discrete crumbs has largely disappeared as has also the binding root fiber. The soil when dry is often like dust, dust that pours between the fingers and is dispersed by the wind before it reaches the ground. Throughout the Midwest soil drifting has greatly increased, and erosion by water has become accelerated …

Length Of Life Of Roots Of Ten Species Of Perennial Range And Pasture Grasses, J. E. Weaver, Ellen Zink

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

It is well known that death of the tops of practically all prairie grasses occurs each fall in temperate grasslands where the soil is regularly frozen. Year after year new shoots replace the old ones in this vegetation of long- lived perennials. But as to what portion of the root system is retained and over what period of time, we are almost without information. This maintains despite the fact that much work has been done to increase our knowledge of the root systems of prairie grasses. Since the early studies of Weaver (6, 7) on their depth and lateral extent, …

The thesis investigates the following problems: (1) whether or not there is any correlation between temperature change and respiratory quotient, (2) whether or not respiratory inhibition by cyanides is influenced by temperature, and (3) whether or not the cytochrome-cytochrome oxidase type of respiratory system is concerned chiefly with carbohydrate metabolism in Pelomyxa carolinensis.

Morphology Of A New Species Of Bat Cestode, Hymenolepis Roudabushi, And A Note On Hymenolepis Christensoni Macy, Ralph W. Macy, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Examination of material of a species of Hymenolepis collected by Rausch from several species of bats taken near Marysville, Ohio, revealed that it was new. A series of specimens of the same species was collected in 1942 at Ames, Iowa, by Dr. Robert Roudabush. The new species, Hymenolepis roudabushi, is described.

Bulletin No. 322 - Irrigation Companies In Utah: Their Activities And Needs, Orson W. Israelsen, J. Howard Maughan, George P. South

UAES Bulletins

Utah has approximately 700 irrigation companies having more than 8,750 miles of unlined earth canals, 410 pumping plants, 1,973 diversion dams and nearly 400 storage dams which provide a storage capacity for more than 3,400,000 acre-feet of water. More than 42 million dollars is invested in irrigation works, with at least 1.5 million dollars spent annually for maintenance.

Irrigation companies have the major responsibility for safe maintenance and efficient operation of Utah's dams, canals, spillways, waste-ways, flumes, inverted siphons, head gates and lateral gates--the structures with which irrigation water is stored, diverted, and conveyed to 1.3 million acres of productive …

Distillers' By-Products And Soybean Meal In Dry Calf Starters For Calves On Limited Quantities Of Milk, H. P. Davis, G. W. Trimberger

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Whole milk is recognized to be very satisfactory as the principal source of nutrients for young growing calves. But the price of milk and its importance as food for human beings has tended to introduce the use of substitutes. Skim milk has been demonstrated to be a satisfactory substitute when fed with grain after the first few weeks of feeding; but since skim milk, too, has become of increased usefulness for human nutrition, this experiment, one of a series, was designed to determine whether or not combinations of various grains, when fortified with vitamins, could be substituted for the solids …

A Discussion Of Ddt Through Questions And Answers, H.C. Severin

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

DDT received and is still receiving more publicity than any insecticide ever enjoyed in the history of man's war with insects. Newspapers, farm journals, cattle magazines, horticultural publications, women's magazines, the radio, motion pictures and every other conceivable means of advertising have lauded DDT to the skies. Much of this publicity was released v1hile DDT was still not available to the civilian but only to our Armed Forces. This avalanche of publicity created hundreds of thousands of potential buyers, many of whom began to clamor for the new marvelous insecticide. Press releases were then made from the State Experiment Stations …

Influence Of Food Plants On Fecundity, Larval Development And Abundance Of The Tuber Flea Beetle In Nebraska, Roscoe E. Hill

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Laboratory and field tests were conducted to determine the effects of different food plants on fecundity, adult longevity and larval development of the tuber flea beetle, Epitrix tuberis Gentner. All food plants tested were those upon which the overwintered beetles commonly feed in the spring following emergence from hibernation.

Synoptic Revision Of The United States Scarab Beetles Of The Subfamily Dynastinae, No. 3: Tribe Oryctini (Part), Lawrence Saylor

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

This paper is the third in the series covering the United States dynastine scarab beetles and includes the four genera differentiated in the following key:

1. Apex clypeus acute and definitely bidentate, the teeth often worn and nearly obsolete. Apex clypeus acute, either sharply or bluntly so, but never bidentate. Mandibles definitely tridentate externally, the basal tooth often worn and barely visible; thorax not more than two-thirds the length of the elytra; color rufous to rufocastaneous or rufopiceous = Ligyrus Burmeister

2. Mandibles bidentate externally (caution: examine from below and laterally to avoid counting the lacinia teeth as third teeth …

Bulletin No. 320 - Soil Erosion In Small Irrigation Furrows, Orson W. Israelsen, George D. Clyde, Cyril W. Laurit

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin reports experimental procedure and data collected in a three-year study of the effect of irrigation furrow slopes and size of streams on the amounts of soil eroded from the furrows. Studies were made in 10 furrows on each of two farm experimental plots, the furrows being in different directions from a central water-stilling basin. The experimental plots were maintained fallow during the season--no crops were grown. Furrow slopes ranged from less than 1 percent to slightly more than 6 percent. Irrigation streams from 5 to 30 gallons per minute at the furrow inlet were measured first by means …

Ec46-223 My Kitchen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

I have often dreamed of having a kitchen which would be cheerful, convenient, cleanable, and comfortable. If we should build a new home, and I could create my dream kitchen, it would fit the needs of my family, our living habits, our standards of meal preparation and serving, the equipment we could afford, and the amount of help and company we are likely to have.

After looking at pictures and plans, reading literature, and talking to others, I believe that step-saving, workable kitchens don't just happen. There evidently are some basic principles to follow. Several years' experience can give a …
