(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of the structure of fruit buds of the peach to hardiness, and, to add to the general knowledge regarding death of plant tissue resulting from exposure to low ...
Study of the chemical composition of a full-term bovine foetus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
Attention has been frequently directed to the prenatal development of various animals, as well as of man. This embryonic development of the bovine foetus is to be the subject of special investigation by the Agricultural ...
Some experiments on the toxicity of various chemicals to monilia sitophila (Mont.) Sacc.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
The influence of the mineral nutrients upon growth has been the subject of much investigation. It has been found that certain of these are absolutely necessary to all life. Nevertheless, most, if not all, of the chemical ...
