Spring clipping treatments included (1) not clipped, (2) clipped
when 6 inches high and (3) clipped when 12 inches high. The hay harvest
criteria were (1) near...

Hereford and Hereford-Angus yearling cattle were grazed separately
on each pasture mixture...
Esterase activity of an aqueous extract of the green bean was

revealed seven bands, by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The
fourteen bands of bean esterase activity formed three groups; slow,
intermediate and fast moving. α-Naphthyl acetate, propionate, and
n-butyrate and AS naphthol acetate...
