Experimental Studies Of Cultivation Of Certain Vegetable Crops, J. E. Weaver
Experimental Studies Of Cultivation Of Certain Vegetable Crops, J. E. Weaver
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
For those who have an interest in the ecology of cultivated plants, Thompson's experimental studies on vegetable crops has a wealth of information. This memoir deals not only with the effect of cultivation on yield, but analyzes the several factors of soil moisture, soil temperature, and the production of nitrates as affected by cultivation, and the effect of weeds on these factors. Finally the root habits are studied, and a correlation is made between the root system and the response of the plant to cultivation.
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.
Wild Birds Introduced Or Transplanted In North America, John C. Phillips
Wild Birds Introduced Or Transplanted In North America, John C. Phillips
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
The early history of the introduction of foreign birds into this country is mostly clothed in darkness. The records of many attempts, if such there were, have long since been buried in back numbers of local newspapers, and if any experiment was unsuccessful it was soon forgotten. Hence, one trying to get an accurate idea of what has happened soon realizes that he is following a hopeless quest. It is much the same with the transplanting of native birds, especially game birds, which have been carried about all over the country from west to east and from east to west …
A Research Delusion, George L. Peltier
A Research Delusion, George L. Peltier
Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications
With the administrative heads of many of our educational institutions demanding a doctorate of every member of the permanent staff, as it is supposed to be a prerogative for research, and the issuing of a list of titles published each year by their staff, the urge for so-called research, namely, a list of titles, goes madly on. In fact publication sometimes becomes a sort of self-defense, for the absence of any titles over a brief period of years stamps one either as lacking the ability of doing research or inefficient. Likewise, such a policy has permeated the staff, so that …
