There seems to be a lack of information and even much misinformation
as to how agricultural experiment stations should be planned,
organized, and operated. The problem becomes more serious in
some of the developing countries that have organized their stations
based on technical knowledge and management practices from more
advanced...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study was to determine whether there were
significant differences in students' career maturity as a result of
exposure to the concepts of career education. The study evaluated the
relative effectiveness of a developing comprehensive career education
project to help students attain increased...

Commercial production of soybeans in Oregon has been limited. In
1977, less than 1,500 acres were grown, primarily in the Columbia Basin
area. However, interest in soybeans as a possible "new crop" for Oregon
has arisen because of the (1) recent strong soybean price, (2) the high
cost of transporting...
Both Leperisinus oregonus and L. californicus are bark beetle
species which emerge from Fraxinus latifolia brood logs as sexually
immature adults and disperse to living ash. Occasional field observations suggest that, for overwintering and maturation feeding, L.
oregonus enter trunks and branches, whereas L.; californicus enter twig
crotches, buds and...
In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial
soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis
was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon.
This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple
use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...
Reports of previous research indicated a stimulatory effect of
triazine herbicides on growth, yield and protein content of plants and
seeds of various species.
Studies were conducted in the greenhouse, laboratory and field
to investigate the effects of atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-a sopropylarnino-
s-triazine) on growth, yield, seed composition, and
seed germination...
