    How to choose commercial feeds
    (University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948) Hogan, A. G.
    "In the feeding of livestock there are certain fundamentals that must form the basis of the feeder's choice of commercial products to supplement the feeds produced on the farm. It is to emphasize these fundamentals, rather than to discuss the many special cases and exceptions encountered in livestock feeding, that this circular is published." --Page [1]

    Flower gardening
    (University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949) Smith, J. E. Jr.
    "Flowers should have a place in and around every home at all times, especially when they may be grown in your own yard. The growing of flowers in a garden differs widely from that of vegetables and fruit as to purpose, satisfaction, and achievement. The purpose of vegetables and fruit is food-flowers have aesthetic value. The satisfaction of vegetables and fruits is their palatability-flowers rest the mind and lend enjoyment through the senses of smell or sight, or both. The achievement desired in vegetable and fruit growing is a highly nutritive product which necessitates careful attention to plant food elements in the soil. With flowers, you are sure to have success, although sometimes variable, on any soil and on any location providing you choose the kinds of flower best suited for such situations."--Page [1].

    Improve permanent pastures with lespedeza, phosphate, lime, and supplementary grazing (Reprint 1946)
    (University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1946) Brown, E. Marion; University of Missouri. Agricultural Experiment Station
    "The acre yield of meat, milk, or wool obtained from permanent pastures can be materially and profitably increased by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of the forage produced, and by managing grazing so that the available forage will be fully consumed during seasons when it is more nutritious. The productivity of the pasture can be increased, and the quality of the forage improved by applying phosphate and lime to soils that are deficient in these minerals, and by establishing a legume in the grass sod. In order to use with maximum efficiency forage produced by the permanent pasture, supplementary pastures must be provided and used during much of the summer and fall." --Page [1]

    The post-war agricultural experiment station
    (1943) Mumford, Frederick B.
    "This is the age of science. We are repeatedly reminded over the radio and in our daily newspapers of t he enormous contributions of science to industry, to medicine, to war and to almost every phase of human life today. It would be strange indeed if science had not made similar contributions to agriculture. The agricultural experiment stations of this country were established some fifty-five years ago on the assumption that science can serve agriculture. In common with all scientific institutions in the past fifty years these experiment stations have proven that this thesis is correct. They have made a remarkable contribution to agricultural enterprise. Almost beyond our dreams of fifty years ago they have been successful in solving farm problems. Before the establishment of experiment stations the farmer was helpless. He could not by himself solve these problems. In most cases only long and patient research by trained investigators made a solution possible."--Page 1-2
