Study of the phenomenon of barrenness in corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
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...
The coefficient of digestion as influenced by the plane of nutrition of the animal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
A review of the literature reporting digestion experiments shows that but few investigators have studied the problem of digestion from the point of view of the influence of the condition of the animal on its ability to assimilate food. This thesis...
Minimum protein requirements for the growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
to determine the minimum amount of this constituent necessary to promote their normal growth. With the object of determining such a figure, the Missouri Experiment Station started an experiment in August, 1913. The results of this experiment to date are given...
The effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
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...
Silage as a part ration for horses and mules or various ages under varying conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
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...
Investigation of the rest period of seeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In all plants, including fungi and algae, as well as higher forms, this periodicity of growth, due to season, nutrition, environment, etc., is seen. Practically all temperate zone plants exhibit a yearly periodicity. The ...
A study of the factors influencing the ability of the animal to digest its food
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
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...
Influence of characters of ear and kernel upon the germination of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
of the ear and kernel which have a marked influence upon the yield. This is so universal that we have score cards which set forth the ideal type of ear and give certain values to the different characters. In general, the score cards are alike and all agree...
A study of types of farming in the U.S. by the farm management survey method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
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...
To study the effect of pregnancy and of nursing on the maintenance requirement of mares

digestion trial for each part of the experiment is compared and a summary of the results presented....
Factors favoring or opposing injuries from transplanting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
"The purpose of this investigation was to determine the factors favoring or opposing the injuries following the transplanting of vegetables. The factors dealt with in this study were as follows: (a) The relation of moisture ...
The killing of plant tissue by low temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
-soaked appearance, and evaporation from that tissue is much more rapid than from living tissue. In the experiments described in this paper, the killing temperature of plant tissue that kills at relatively high temperature has been reduced whenever the sap density...
Progress in becoming established in farming
(University of Missouri., 1958)
and the factors such as size and type of business, tenure status, educational training and experience that contributed to the success of the people who made the start in 1953."--Introduction....
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth....
The poverty of place : a comparative study of five rural counties in the Missouri Ozark
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1999)
to further the understanding of the dynamics driving this phenomenon or to discover what types of public policies are likely to be successful at breaking up these areas of persistent poverty. The existence of a five county group in the south central Missouri...
Milk substitutes, powdered skimmilk for raising calves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from introduction: This thesis is a discussion, from the standpoint of our present knowledge of the fundamental principles of animal nutrition, of the possibility of raising calves on "milk substitutes". The experimental ...
