Bulletin No. 265 - Phosphorus Supplements Improve Sugar-Beet By-Product Rations For Cattle, E. J. Maynard, J. E. Greaves, H. H. Smith

UAES Bulletins

In sugar-beet producing areas of the Intermountain West and Pacific Coast beet by-products constitute a most economical source of feed for fattening livestock.

In Utah there are available each year some 144,000 tons of wet beet pulp and some 20,000 tons of beet molasses; in addition, about 6500 tons of dried molasses beet pulp are available in the form of meal or pellets.

Practically all of this livestock feed supply, with a nutritive value equivalent to approximately 41,000 tons of corn or barley, has been fed, together with alfalfa hay, to cattle or sheep for maintenance or in the production …

Palaeontologic And Geologic Consideration Of Early Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

There has been much discussion recently relative to the geologic age of Yuma and Folsom artifacts. The writers submit the following palaeontological and geological data which may aid in a better interpretation of the subject. This paper deals with three localities in Nebraska where Yuma and Folsom implements have been found with extinct mammals; namely, the Scottsbluff Bison Quarry, the Sand Hill blow-out sites, and the Sioux County artifact sites.

Relative Efficiency Of Roots And Tops Of Plants In Protecting . The Soil From Erosion, Joseph Kramer, J. E. Weaver

Papers of John E. Weaver (1884–1956)

An increasing realization of the importance of preventing or controlling soil erosion has resulted in numerous scientific investigations. Some of these are concerned with soil characteristics which promote or retard erosivity (Middleton, '30; Middleton et al., '34; Lutz, '34; and Bouyoucos, '35). Many have to do with engineering methods of reducing soil wastage (Bates and Zeasman, '30; Ramser, '30; Roe, '33; and Bartel, '35). But perhaps most were planned to discover the effects of plants in protecting and binding the soil, reducing runoff, and consequent loss of soil and subsoil (Sampson and Weyl, '18; Duley and Miller, '23; Lowdermilk, …

Index Numbers Of South Dakota Farm Prices, Leslie Max Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the last generation, index numbers have gradually gone into general use among economists, statisticians, and business men. Because a farmer is a business man, it is important that he know what the trend of farm prices have been in the past and what the current trend is, so that he may anticipate changes which statistical analysis show are taking place in his particular phase of business.The Main objective of this study is to revise the existing South Dakota Farm Price Index. In order to furnish a comparable background for the presentation of these results it was found desirable (1) …

The Abortion Of Essential Organs In The Imperfect Flowers Of Benzoin Aestivale, Norris M. Paulson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There have been a number of investigations dealing with the abortion of essential organs in the imperfect flowers. Ulvin submitted a paper on Abortive Stamens and Carpels in Lychnis alba, Simon described stamen and carpel abortion in Cucumis stativus, Schaffner was able to control sex expression in Arisamea triphyllum and secure sex reversal in Cannabis stiva, Bessey determined the relationship of sex to the age of pollen in Cannabis sativa.

An Analysis Of Crop Production In South Dakota By Types Of Farming Areas, Warren Richards Bailey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Farmers choose the crops they grow for two principal users; namely, for feed production or for cash income, or for both feed and cash income. It is true that some crops are grown for cover-crops, soil building, weed competition and a multitude of other miscellaneous purposes, many of them of equal or greater importance in the individual case than the two uses of crops which are the basis for this analysis. Crop production in South Dakota has been discussed since the first records of yields were available. the usual unit for production was the legal bushel of a specified weight.

Observations On Thinning And Management Of Eastern White Pine (Pinus Strobus Linnaeus) In Southern New Hampshire, Ralph C. Hawley

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

In October, 1905, several permanent sample plots were in the white pine type near Keene, New Hampshire, by the United States Forest Service in cooperation with the Faulkner and Colony Manufacturing Company on lands owned by the latter. The purpose of the investigation was to study some effects of thinnings and of partial (shelterwood) cuttings for establishing natural regeneration. The plots were remeasured in 1909 and again in 1915 by representatives of the United States Forest Service, but after the 1915 measurement they were turned over to the Yale School of Forestry.* In 1920, 1925, 1930, and 1935 the plots …

Factors Controlling Initial Establishment Of Western White Pine And Associated Species, Irvine T. Haig

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The principal object of the study was to determine the roles played by important physical factors of site, chiefly as these vary with overhead shade and hence are within the control of the silviculturist at the time of logging. No special effort was made to study the effect of biotic agents under natural conditions. Indeed, in order to insure as large a sample of seedlings as possible on which to follow losses caused by physical factors, biotic agents were discouraged wherever feasible. But as records of all mortality losses were kept by cause, some information was collected on the activity …

The Tympanis Canker Of Red Pine, John Raymond Hansbrough

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

A new disease of red pine has recently been found in southern Connecticut, Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts, western and central New York, northern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, central Ohio, and southern Michigan. It is of serious consequence only on plantation-grown red pine, but it also occurs occasionally on eastern white pine. On the former host it is characterized by axially elongated, annual main-stem cankers which are always centered at the nodes. Infection takes place through adhering lateral dead branches and the growth of the fungus after it gains entrance to the stem.is usually very rapid-Le., cankers up to three feet …

The Distribution Of Anopheles, Their Wintering Activities, And Breeding Places In Bernalillo And Valencia Counties, New Mexico, Bright Elsworth Grenier

Biology ETDs

An impetus was given to the study of the Culicinae by the discovery of Sir Ronald Ross in 1898 that some mosquitoes are the vectors of the malarial parasites. A large amount of work has been done with the species belonging to the tribe Anophelini and it has been learned that vectors of the malarial parasites of human beings belong to this tribe.

Quantitative Studies On The Relation Of Soil Texture, Moisture Content, Hydrogen-Ion Concentration, And Soluble Salts On Vegetation In The Albuquerque Division Of The Rio Grande Conservancy District, Marvin D. Rohovec

Notes On The Life Habits Of The Silky Pocket Mouse (Perognathus Flavus Baird), Garth Blakely

Biology ETDs

The observations reported in this paper cover a period of six months' collection and study, lasting from November 1935 until April 1936, inclusive. While this report is not to be considered as a complete account of the life habits of Perognathus and while there are certain phases which have not yet been determined, it is hoped that the observations recorded here will constitute a useful contribution to the knowledge of the life history of this species.

A Preliminary Study Of The Mountain Lion (Felis Cougar), Frank C. Hibben

Biology ETDs

During one year's time from October 1934 and extending over into September 1935, an investigator was placed in the field to make a special study of the mountain lion. The agency which was so interested was the Southwestern Conservation League which had received funds from private sources for the purpose of the investigation. The scientific aspects of the project were carried on under the auspices of the Biology Department of the University of New Mexico, The New Mexico Game Department and the United State Biological Survey also helped and fostered the investigation by supplying the means through their separate agencies, …
