Seed Potato Treatment Tests For Control Of Scab And Rhizoctonia, R. W. Goss, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Potato scab annually takes a very large toll from the potato growers of Nebraska. Rhizoctonia causes considerable loss each year, particularly in the early-potato sections, where it decreases stand and yield. These losses are caused by infection from both the soil and the seed. The investigations reported in this paper deal only with the control of the infection arising from the seed. Even though potato seed treatments have been recommended for many years, the diversity of recommendations being made at present by various agencies is very confusing to the grower and research worker alike. Many of the reports from different …

Effect Of Cultural Methods And Maturity Upon The Seed Value Of Eastern Nebraska Potatoes, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Seed potatoes as good as northern stocks have been produced under a straw mulch in eastern Nebraska by experimenters and growers. Occasionally reports are heard that a lot of seed potatoes has been grown in eastern Nebraska by ordinary cultural methods for many years, apparently without loss of vigor or yielding capacity. In view of this situation it seemed advisable to investigate this problem to determine whether, and to what extent, environment and maturity as such influence the productivity of seed potatoes and also whether it is feasible to produce satisfactory seed potatoes in the southern and eastern portions of …

The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour

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

The type specimen of the genus Amebelodon is installed in the Nebraska State Museum, the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. It consists of a mandible with tusks and teeth, all of which are dense and perfect, barring minor cracks and breaks. One toe bone and part of a rib found associated with this mandible may belong to this animal. It was discovered by Mr. A. S. Keith on his farm near Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska; was secured for the palaeontological collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill by Mr. Phillip Orr, April 4, 1927; was briefly described and figured in a Museum …

Circular No. 82 - Lamb Slaughtering And Cutting, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

The old saying that "the shoemaker's wife goes without shoes" might be changed to read "the lamb raiser and feeder of the west does not eat lamb." About three-fourths of the population of the United states is east of the Mississippi River, and about 90 per cent of all the lamb and mutton produced in the United states is consumed east of the Mississippi. It has been observed, both on the farms and in towns, that a large percentage of people in the sheep sections of the west have tasted neither lamb nor mutton.

Circular No. 81 - Beef Slaughtering, Cutting, And Curing, Harry H. Smith

UAES Circulars

Many farmers follow the practice of occasionally slaughtering a steer, a heifer, or a calf for home use. When this practice is followed the farmer is assured of getting meat of high quality. Experience has taught him that he is not always :able to get meat at a local market which equals in quality that which he slaughters on his own farm. The butcher is not at fault as he usually handles the quality of meat his customers desire and will accept.

UAES Circulars

The practice of slaughtering hogs on the farm is being followed rather extensively by the farmers of this state. It is an economic practice and should be more generally followed because by this practice a supply of meat is available throughout the year. In all ages meat has been the principal article of diet of the ruling races. It is a natural and necessary part of man's diet. The races of people who have not included meat in their diet are today numbered among the weaker and more backward nations.

The Abortion Problem In Farm Live Stock, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Successful animal husbandry is fundamentally dependent on the efficient reproduction and preservation of young stock. Not only are losses among the latter a prolific source of direct economic damage, but they also tend to create an equally serious disadvantage of a more indirect nature. Losses of young animals, unless a reduction of our live stock population can be tolerated, necessitate the setting aside of a larger number of females for purely reproductive purposes than would be required if such losses were not a factor.

Relation Between The Development Of Root System And Shoot Under Long- And Short-Day Illumination, J. E. Weaver, W. J. Himmel

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Relatively few investigations have been made to determine the factors which affect the relation of the growth of roots to tops. A more exact knowledge of the relations between aerial and subterranean plant parts and the degree to which these may be modified through cultural practices is of great scientific and practical importance. Extensive investigations have shown that plants exhibit marked specific and varietal differences with respect to relative development of roots when grown under the same environmental conditions. Intensive studies on the growth of wheat by Weaver, Kramer, and Reed (20) and of certain other plants by Crist and …

Circular No. 79 - Rules And Regulations For The Sixth Utah Intermountain Egg-Laying Contest, Byron Alder

UAES Circulars

This contest is conducted on a part of the Utah Agricultural College Farm near the experimental poultry yards. It is managed by the Poultry Department with an experienced poultry raiser indirect charge of the feeding and care of the hens in the contest. The buildings, grounds, and fences were built and furnished by the Experiment Station.

The purpose of the contest is (1) to impress on the poultry raisers the importance of greater care in the selection of their fowls and in the value of proper feeding and housing and (2) to stimulate a greater interest in the breeding of …

Bulletin No. 212 - Studies On The Morphology Of The Beet Leafhopper, G. F. Knowlton

UAES Bulletins

The beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), is one of the most serious insect pests of western North America. Its chief importance is as a vector of the plant disease curly-top, which it transmits to beets, tomatoes, beans, melons, and many other agricultural plants. The virus apparently is introduced into the plant during the process of feeding, and is responsible for the frequent and often enormous losses to the sugar-beet growers and sugar manufacturers of the west. Apparently, the virus multiplies and remains active in the body of a leafhopper for some time, making it possible for the insect, after once …

Bulletin No. 213 - Food Habits Of Utah Farm Families, Almeda Perry Brown

UAES Bulletins

This report is merely an attempt to set forth the findings of the investigation without making claim to their being conclusive except for the families included in the study. While the study was carried into a relatively large portion of the state, the records are too few in number for any claim to be made that they represent community food conditions. It is believed, however, that the records which form the basis of this report are representative of the food situation in the homes from which they come.

On The Nature And Cause Of "The Walking Disease" Of Northwestern Nebraska (Necrobiosis Et Cirrhosis Hepatis Enzootica), L. Van Es, L. R. Cantwell, H. M. Martin, J. Kramer

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The "walking disease" of Northwestern Nebraska is essentially an enzootic necrobiosis and cirrhosis of the liver due to a toxic agent and does not materially differ from similar disorders occurring in other regions or countries. The disease affects horses and cattle but it is most commonly encountered in the former. The disease in all its clinical and pathological manifestations may be reproduced with the utmost fidelity by the feeding with plants of Senecio riddellii.

Some Desmids Common To The Vicinity Of Milwaukee, Mary Charitas Kuehna

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject matter of this paper is "the minutest of pet nurslings of Nature the Desmids. So insignificant, that it is safe to say more than nine-tenths of the human race hardly know of their existence, the Desmids, nevertheless, offer a wide and extensive field for the moat fascinating study and research. The purpose of this paper is first, to give a brief history of the Desmids, and then to determine which families, genera, and species of the Desmids are most common in this vicinity, and to study the conditions which are most favorable for their growth.
