The purpose of this study was to make a preliminary
investigation of the productivity of some of the soils
within the Willamette catena under different systems of
soil management. The study was carried out at four experimental
sites near Corvallis, Oregon, during the 1962 growing
season. The soil at each...
The influence of variety, plant population, and planting date on
corn silage production was studied at Hyslop Agronomy Farm,
Corvallis, Oregon. The corn plants were grown under irrigation with
300 pounds per acre of 16-20-0 (N-P₂0₅-K₂0) and 240 pounds of urea,
providing a total nitrogen application of 158 pounds per...

The nature of inheritance and possible associations for traits
influencing earliness and grain yield were investigated using a four
parent diallel of winter and spring wheat cultivars.
More genetic variability was observed for the traits measured in
segregating populations resulting from crosses between winter and spring
type wheats in contrast...
Investigators have been studying an aggregate
containing enzymes of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate
biosynthesis in T4-phage infected bacteria. They suggest
that it behaves as an organized complex, efficiently
channeling DNA precursors to the replication apparatus.
Previous work has suggested that about 10 enzyme
activities remain associated through several fractionation
steps. This multi-enzyme...
Rates of germination and emergence of corn were measured as
influenced by soil physical parameters using blotter paper and a sandy
loam soil as growth media. The corn seeds used were a hybrid of
Funk's (DJ7xLH93).
Experimental conditions were soil temperature of 20°C, 25°C,
30°C, and 35°C, soil water potential...
Bacteriophage T4 gene 42 encodes dCMP hydroxymethylase, an
enzyme unique to the deoxyribonucleotide metabolism of T-even
bacteriophages. To study biochemical and biophysical properties of
the enzyme, as well as the interaction of dCMP hydroxymethylase with
other DNA precursor biosynthetic enzymes in vitro, availability of large
amounts of the enzyme is...
