The part-time farmer is becoming an increasing important
part of the American Way of Life. The Cooperative Extension
Service should be prepared to work with these people and help fulfill
their educational needs.
The purpose of this study is to provide some guidelines that
can be used in developing an...
The purpose of this study was to develop an achievement test
suitable for eighth grade industrial arts, in the Province of British
Columbia. The test was designed to conform to the limitations established
in the curriculum bulletin, Industrial Arts 8, authorized in
1962. Norms were to be developed from the...
Corn has been produced in Thailand for many years, but it has
risen to prominence during the past ten years. By 1960, corn had became
the third most important export crop of Thailand. It was exceeded
in value by only rice and rubber.
From 1950 to 1964, Thai corn production...
This study was designed (1) to identify and describe young
homemakers' problems through expressed difficulties in homemaking
activities, (2) to investigate the relationship between the expressed
problem areas and the homemakers' length of marriage,
family composition, employment status and family income, and
(3) to determine additional homemaking information young homemakers...
Morphological changes which occur during tentacle formation
have been described in the colonial athecate hydroid Cordylophora
lacustris. These changes involve an outpocketing of mesoglea into
a finger-like extension of the hydranth. Gastrodermal cells line the
inside of this extension of mesoglea while ectodermal cells cover the
outside. Electron micrographs reveal...
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the influence
of information on Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance in motivating
homemakers to do further family financial security planning.
Planning was measured in terms of estimating OASDI benefits and
total income available for retirement and for survivors.

This paper discussed the human electrocardiogram, the instrumentation
used to graphically record it, and the design and performance
of a specialized system for vector cardiography: the Vector Electrocardioscope
(VECS) System. The introduction reviews in considerable
detail the pertinent known physiology of the heart, especially the
electrophysiology responsible for the genesis...
Water and methanol adsorption isotherms at 25° and 37° C.
were determined on a series of organo-bentonite clays. The clays
differed in the length of the carbon chain attached to the amine adsorbed
in the cation exchange position. The amines used had carbon
chains of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,...
Lithia-silica compositions between lithium disilicate and pure
silica were explored theoretically and experimentally, with special
emphasis on structural miscibility. Diffusion couples of vitreous
materials were prepared and annealed. Best success in preparation
was achieved by using electron-bombardment heating in vacuum to
melt the less refractory glass and let it solidify...
