the air by symbiotic fixation. A minor experiment was added to determine the effect of quantities of organic matter on the location of nodules. In working on these problems it was found possible to obtain information of other points of interest...

The purpose of the digestion trials, to be discussed in this paper, was to determine the effect of various factors on the ability of the animal to digest its food. The object of these experiments is somewhat different from the great majority...

and comment to both practical farmers and agricultural investigators as well. Strange as it may seem, however, there has been practically no work done to discover why the maize plant, or any other grain normally bisexual, should be sterile. Many theories have...

and in most cases incomplete. Furthermore, a great deal of the data as presented by various investigators cannot be compared because of lack of uniformity in reporting results as well as in the selection of samples for analysis. Forbes in his bulletin on "The...

Land in the United States is predominantly owned by private individuals and families, and has traditionally been used for economic profit through agricultural or timber production. However, U.S. landownership patterns are changing, and an increasing...

to this, a somewhat detailed report and discussion is given of certain phases of the experimental work on contagious abortion which has been carried out for the past three years or more by the Department of Veterinary Science of the Experiment Station...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Water pollution caused by nutrients, and the resulting eutrophication, have increased over time. This water pollution is increasingly caused by non-point source pollution, both...

This dissertation examines the particular path of technological change after World War II, how farm people adjusted to that change in their work and identity, as well as the policy implications of the numerous ramifications ...

Text from page 174: This was an initial effort to feed silage as a part ration to horses and mules of various ages and under varying conditions at the Missouri Experiment Station. The data in the 1915-1916 tests are not sufficient to make possible...

This study examined how overstory density affects regeneration abundance and understory height growth in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. Data were collected on three different treatment types, no harvest management, uneven-aged management, and even...

-fortran (HSPF) was used to estimate the hydrology and sediment loading throughout the Brush Creek, MO watershed for future land use development scenarios between upstream and downstream locations. Brush Creek does not have a proper monitoring station...

The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...

of Agricultural science. This study was made from the 1910 Census. The object sought in this investigation in farm management is to secure the elementary facts which must be utilized in organizing and conducting the business of the farm in such a way as to give...

"The objectives are to determine adequacy of present storage facilities by Crop Reporting Districts and to provide information for decisions relative to location, capacity, type, remodeling, and rebuilding of country ...

This paper examines how term limits operate as an institutional characteristic of state legislative branches. First, I describe the history of the term limit movement to contextualize public opinion. I then review relevant ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...

of Problem": It is the purpose of this investigation to secure data on the effects of adding calcium carbonate in the form of ground limestone to types of soils of common occurrence in the state of Missouri. These effects were studied in crop yields, in per...

sorption and column leaching experiments were performed using soils collected from cropland (crop), grass vegetative buffer strips (VBS), and riparian VBS. Single-point, solid-to-solution partition coefficients (Kd) were determined by reacting soil...

This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment carried out...
