The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri, 1914)
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 effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri, 1916)
, data taken from experiments which have been systematized so that the results are comparable are of great value. The data presented in this thesis are the first to be offered from a series of experiments now in progress. The ultimate end of this combined...
Composition of soil as affected by different cropping systems
(University of Missouri, 1913)
Among the experiments in soil fertility which are being carried out by the University of Missouri College of Agriculture is a series of plot experiments which have been in progress since 1889. There are thirty-nine plots in the field and each has...
A study of the factors influencing the ability of the animal to digest its food
(University of Missouri, 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...
A study of the effect of the periods of gestation and lactation upon the growth and composition of swine
(University of Missouri, 1915)
Growth is at the base of organic production. In recent years an increasing importance has been attached to its study and to the conditions affecting it. Davenport says: "The importance of the study of growth cannot be over ...
Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri, 1917)
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...
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
A study of the variations in chemical composition of the timothy and wheat plants during growth and ripening
(University of Missouri, 1911)
Regarding previous investigations carried out on the chemical composition of timothy and wheat plants, very little work has been made upon wheat roots, no report has been made upon timothy bulbs and no separation has been made of the timothy stalks...
The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri, 1915)
A search through available published material on the subject of the cooking of foods reveals for the most part only recommendations of fairly wide ranges rather than definite limits of temperature for the cooking of specified ...
