Studies On The Comparative Value Of The Hot Treatment (Krantz Patent) And Common Methods Of Handling Barnyard Manure, Orval E. Winkler

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Antidating written human history the dung of animals, chalk, marl, wood ashes and other substances were probably used to increase the productivity of the soil. These practises found their way into the earliest farming activities of the Chinese, Persians, Greeks and Romans. (3)(11) In the Hebrew scriptures mention is made of the "Dung Gate". (10) This was undoubtedly a place given to the marketing of manures. That manure was used as a soil amendment in Asia Minor in Biblical times is not questioned. The famous Roman agricultural writer Cato (234 B.C.) wrote at length on manures and their handling. He …

Bulletin No. 248 - Results Of Seven Years Of Egg-Laying Contests, Byron Alder

UAES Bulletins

The Utah Intermountain Egg-Laying Contests were begun on November 1, 1924, and continued until October 23, 1931. Up until this time the interest in poultry-breeding for egg production in this intermountain section was extremely limited; furthermore, there were few flocks on which trap nest and pedigree breeding records were kept.

The primary object in conducting these contests was to stimulate an interest in the breeding of better poultry. An egg-laying contest makes it possible for the poultry raiser, trying to get started in poultry-breedng work on a limited scale, to obtain accurate individual egg records of some of his pullets …

Vitamin B(B,) And G(B2) Content Of Cottonseed Products, May L. Whitsitt

Field and Laboratory

Cotton is a raw material which is more and more closely allying the agricultural and chemical industries. Because of the considerable industrial importance of cotton to the South and because of the recognized nutritional value of cottonseed meal in cattle feeding, a study of cottonseed products has been undertaken in order to learn more of their possibilities as nutrients. Stevens (8) in 1930 reported his finding that cottonseed meal was a rich source of both vitamins B(B), and G(B2). This investigation has for its object a comparative study of cottonseed meal, oil, and hulls with respect to their vitamin B …

Type Collection Of The Writings Of Robert T. Hill, Ellis W. Shuler

Field and Laboratory

Dr. Robert T. Hill has signally honored the Geological Department of Southern Methodist University by donating to its library the type collection of his writings with an index and annotated bibliography. This collection covers the writings of one of America's leading geologists over a period of nearly half a century. Interesting and valuable in every phase of geology, it is the court of final reference for the student of the history of Texas stratigraphy.

A.A.P.G. Meeting At Dallas, Ellis W. Shuler

Field and Laboratory

Geology students of Southern Methodist University found a rare opportunity in attending the annual meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in Dallas, March 21-24, 1934. This meeting brought together more than 1500 professional geologists, world wide in distribution. The Association is one of the largest and strongest of scientific bodies. Its publications and programs are of outstanding interest in the field of geology. The program for 1934 was one of unusual merit and was distinguished by the number of papers on geological principles and pure science rather than applied geology.

The Distribution Of Pectinatella Magnifica Leidy In The United States, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

In 1851, Leidy described from the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia, the interesting Bryozoan, Pectinatella magnifica. Since then, it has been recorded from a number of other localities in America and Europe. The exact distribution, however (for America, at least) is still only partially known. Brown1 has recently published a careful study of the biology of this species; and the present writer has studied, since 1928, the distribution of this species in Iowa, as well as its periodicity of abundance.
