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...
Relation of lime and magnesium to plant growth in Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1906)
with success; sometimes with medium results and sometimes with apparent failure. SIR JOHN BENNET LAWS and SIR JOSEPH HENRY GILBERT were the first to make accurate observations upon the practice of liming. They found that the white or "fat lime" would produce...
The relation of size, shape, and number of replications of plats to probable error in field experimentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
of the methods used, the need for attention along this line becomes strikingly evident. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that even soils which possess apparent uniformity really vary a great deal. This variation is often so great as to cast doubt on a large...
Control of the humus supply of certain important Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
The soils of Missouri, with very few exceptions, are deficient in humus, and the continuous cropping (to corn especially) which is practiced in many parts of the state is rapidly depleting what humus there is in the soil. In many parts of the state...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The experimental work for this thesis was planned to secure information as to the effect of limestone applied to an acid soil (1) on the growth of legumes, (2) on the activities of tuberclue bacteria, and (3) on the amount ...
Some factors influencing the germination of corn : a thesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
One line of agricultural investigation that has been much neglected is that of determining what factors may influence the germination of corn. There has been in fact no direct work done along this line that is available ...
The effect of different nutritive planes upon the economy of gain and the rate of growth of young cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This investigation was undertaken in order that something might be learned concerning: (a) the cost of maintenance of live weight in ungrown cattle; (b) the effect of a maintenance ration upon the condition of ungrown ...
A Study of the effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes and non-legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
A number of investigators have found that applications of lime to an acid soil have in many cases resulted in a depression of crop yields. This effect has been observed especially in connection with pot cultures where ...
The effect of soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply upon the root development of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
After summarizing previous experiments pertaining to soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply on various plants, specifically grains, he details his own experiments on these effects on the root development of maize. ...
Use of green manures & cover crops for the south
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
and practices of cotton farming tend to rapidly wear out and destroy the fertility of the soil, and before we can be safe and permanently prosperous in farming, our methods and practices must be such as to result in increasing the productiveness of our soils...
The metabolism and localization of glycerol by bovine spermatozoa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1958)
Since the discovery that glycerol, a trihydroxy alcohol, would provide protection for spermatozoa during the freezing and thawing process, many questions have arisen concerning its metabolism and mode of action. Most of ...
