This report presents tables of suspended-sediment data collected from 1956 to 1967 at 10 sites in the Umpqua River basin. Computations based on these data indicate that average annual suspended-sediment yields at these sites range from 137 to 822 tons per square mile.
Because available data for the Umpqua River...

A quality problem that frequently occurs with frozen green beans
is the sloughing of the skin (epidermal tissues) of the cooked, ready-to-
serve bean pods. It was found that by giving the beans a pre-blanch
(relatively mild heat treatment) prior to the blanch treatment normally
used for frozen green beans,...
Studies were conducted to determine the extent and nature of
sub-lethal effects of herbicides on plant growth. At least one
herbicide from each major chemical class of herbicides was evaluated
under greenhouse conditions. Oat plants were grown in sand
culture to eliminate soil interferences. Herbicides were applied
pre-emergence in nutrient...
The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross
among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves
born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate
estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences
among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of four
methods of incorporating the herbicide trifluralin into the soil, and
to determine the interaction between depth of incorporation of trifluralin
and depth of weed seed germination.
Field experiments on green and dry peas were established in
Oregon and Idaho. Trifluralin,...
A facile route to bicyclo(2.1.1)hexanes was developed involving
the intramolecular photocyclization of 1, 5-hexadien-3-one to
bicyclo(2.1.1)hexan-2-one. A study of the chemistry of bicyclo-(2.1.1)hexan-2-one was undertaken. Deuterium exchange and borohydride
reduction demonstrated the strain present in the ketone.
Further evidence was obtained from the failure to introduce substituents
alpha to the...
