Bulletin No. 275 - Types Of Farming In Utah, Marion Clawson, Walter U. Fuhriman, George T. Blanch, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

A large portion of the agriculture of Utah, outside of the desert range areas, is characteristically heterogeneous rather than homogeneous in character. Marked differences in size of farm, in crops grown, in livestock kept, in yields, and in farm organization occur within short distances. This diversity is due in large measure to differences in soil, elevation, topography, and other physical features and to climatic characteristics such as amount, kind, and distribution of precipitation and length of growing season. The physical and climatic features are the chief determinants of the amount of water potentially available for the irrigation of the crop …

Although the Texas Centennial Exposition does not have an entire building devoted exclusively to science, there are many scientific exhibits and several of special importance to any one interested in chemistry. Such exhibits may be found in the Transportation Building, the Varied Industries Building and the Ford Building.

Meteorite Craters And Their Possible Relationship To "Cryptovolcanic Structures", John D. Boon, Claude C. Albritton Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The increasing number of recognized meteorite craters indicates that these features are not so rare as formerly believed. It is probable, moreover, that meteorite craters of the geologic past were larger and more abundant than the relatively recent examples. Evidence for the fall of ancient meteorites must be sought, however, in geologic structures produced by impacts.

Shell Repair In Polygyra Texasiana, Elmer P. Cheatum

Field and Laboratory

It has long been known, on the basis of field observations and laboratory experiments, that snails and clams are able to repair breaks in their shells. However, with the exception of Andrews' ('34, '35) excellent work on shell-repair of West Indian gastropoda, and Daniel's ('12) studies, practically all observations have been made upon European mollusks.

A Gastropod New To The United States, Elmer P. Cheatum

Field and Laboratory

A species of branchiate snail new to the molluscan fauna of the United States, Hydrobia palomasensis (Pils.) (fide Pilsbry), was collected near Fort Davis, Texas, in April, 1936, by Mr. Ottys Sanders of Dallas. The specimens were found in a small canyon opening into Limpia Canyon, about five miles north of Fort Davis. The present writer, on a trip to this same locality last September, found this species in abundance.

The Influence Of The Shoreline, Rivers And Springs On The Settlement And Early Development Of Texas, Ellis W. Shuler

Field and Laboratory

A comparison of early colonial settlements in New England and Texas during the middle of the eighteenth century shows a decided contrast in their locations. In New England the colonists settled along the coast, in Texas along a line roughly parallel to the coast but about one hundred miles into the interior. This distribution, coast line and interior, is all the more striking since in Florida and the West Indies the Spanish colonists, just as the English in New England, settled along the sea margin.

Spruce In The Western Miocene, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

One of the real surprises in store for us as we began to section specimens of petrified wood from the Vantage and certain other horizons in Central Washington, was the prevalence of a spruce type hardly hinted at in the leaf lists as published for the various sediments of Yakima time (upper miocene?).

Bulletin No. 274 - Influence Of Rotation And Manure On The Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Carbon Of The Soil, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

All agricultural plants require carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, and probably traces of other elements for their normal growth and fruition. The growth of farm crops is dependent upon an available supply of these elements, and the extent of growth is governed by the one present and available in least quantity in proportion to the plant's needs. Of the essential elements, all plants secure two (carbon and oxygen) from the air, one (hydrogen) from the water, and the others from the soil. Most soils contain sufficient plant nutrients for normal plant production, with the exception …

Bulletin No. 273 - Drainage And Irrigation, Soil, Economic, And Social Conditions, Delta Area, Utah, Division 3: Economic Conditions, W. Preston Thomas, George T. Blanch

Some Factors Affecting The Cooking Quality Of The Pea And Great Northern Types Of Dry Beans, Edna B. Snyder

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Dry beans of the Great Northern and pea-bean type from Nebraska and several other bean-producing states were studied to determine the factors affecting the cooking quality. A standard cooking procedure with distilled water was used to disclose differences in cooking quality, and the percentage of beans too hard for table use was determined for each cooked portion. The factors studied were: soaking, including time and temperatures; storage, including time and storage conditions; age; size; place of origin; effect of chemical solutions; and the composition of the seed coat. The chemical solutions used were hydrochloric and acetic acids in different concentrations; …

An Interpretive Study Of Some Kentucky Biologists, Rachel Winstead

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken with the idea of bringing together information concerning some of the most important Kentuckians who have made contributions to the biological sciences. In order that we may better understand and appreciate the work done by these men, it was thought best to give a brief discussion of the major periods in the history of biological development. An attempt will be made to interpret the contributions of the men discussed, according to the period in which they lived. Only a sufficient number of men are discussed in each epoch to give a correct picture of the trends …

The Effects Of Vitamins "A" & "D" Deficient Diets On Crayfish, Joseph Hale

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The literature on vitamins shows that the greater number of the studies made of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets have been confined to their efforts on the vertebrates. Only a few controlled experiments have been conducted to determine the effects of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets on the invertebrates.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of vitamin "A" and "D" deficient diets on crayfish.
